translation studies

Network Asia: Past, Present, and Future, March 6-8, 2025 at The Westin Georgetown Hotel in Washington, DC

We invite papers and panels from all disciplines and across all frameworks that engage with the historical, contemporary, and future of networking Asia. This includes papers and panels that reflect on relational complexity and plurality and how the global Asias and trans-Asia approaches to Asian studies are bridging area studies and ethnic studies, and those that explore how best to foster science-informed and diversity-enhancing collective action that equitably addresses issues of global concern like data governance and climate change.

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Yale University is pleased to announce the call for papers for the upcoming graduate conference, “Entre lugares,” which will be held at Yale University on Friday April 4th and Saturday April 5th, 2025. This interdisciplinary conference invites scholars to explore the multifaceted notion of liminality as it relates to spaces, identities, languages, temporalities, and literary genres.

Conference Theme

In the last couple of decades, our embodied actions with others have become increasingly more fluid and disentangled from fixed/static contexts so much so that the materiality of social life has been filtered through texts produced in a variety of semiotic resources that bind people together while keeping them apart. By further blurring online/offline boundaries, the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the long-lasting mediatization of social life leading to a reconceptualization of phenomena such as corporeality and matter and their relationship with both virtual and physical environments.

Dear Colleagues,

We invite undergraduates from all majors and academic years to submit research and theoretical articles on topics related to rhetoric, writing, discourse, and language.

This year, we are also accepting multilingual submissions that explore Spanish-English bilingualism, translation studies, and writing across languages. Submissions fall into three categories:

Organizer: Shane Carreon

Co-Organizer: Ayelén Rosario Tissera

Situated at the locus of power relations in and through language, translators and language teachers are entwined by and within complex ideologies, epistemologies, and governing policies. In particular, their identity construction, personal stance, and mediations continually reproduce, redefine, and/or resist in varying ways the hegemony of the English language both as legacy of British and American colonialism and as prime language of globalization.

Call for Papers

In the last few years, increasing recourse to ever more efficient technologies and artificial intelligence has radically changed the interpreting and translating professions, triggering an evolution process whose outcomes are currently difficult to predict, but what is certain is that translators and interpreters have to do their best to respond to the changing requirements of a highly diversified market.

David Damrosch (2003) describes world literature as “a mode of circulation and of reading” (5) and “writing that gains in translation” (281). This perspective has long dominated the discourse on world literature and has been widely expanded upon by scholars. Building on this foundation, Tong King Lee (2024) proposes that in today’s globalized context, circulating literature necessitates not only a mode of reading but also a mode of doing. In this view, a literary work becomes a Barthian Text—an interconnected network of “texts” that manifest in various forms (multilingual, multimodal, or multimedial), shaped by users rather than just readers.
