Call For Papers: Panel on Translation and
Interpreting in Religious Settings
7th
EST CONGRESS, 29 - 31 August 2013, University of Mainz in Germersheim,
Germany
Panel
organizers: Jonathan Downie and Jill Karlik
This
panel aims to bring together researchers with an interest in Translation
and
Interpreting in Religious Settings (TIRS) around the question: what
contributions
can TIRS research bring to Translation and Interpreting Studies?
Papers
may cover any example of TIRS in and between any religions, such as:
interpreting
in religious meetings, missionary translation and interpreting,
translation
and interpreting within and between religious groups, and TIRS
between
different modalities and media (e.g. print, subtitling, recordings,
etc).
It
is expected that this panel will contribute to Translation and Interpreting
Studies
knowledge by exploring the interface between TIRS and other forms of
translation
and interpreting, especially through challenging, advancing or
reassessing
existing Translation and Interpreting theories, concepts and
assumptions.
It will also allow researchers to show how concepts from religious
studies
and theology might be applied via TIRS to wider debates in Translation
and
Interpreting Studies. The key focus of this panel will therefore be the
cross-fertilisation
of ideas, methods and theoretical frameworks between TIRS
and
the wider world of Translation and Interpreting Studies and between
researchers
looking at TIRS. Papers are welcome on any aspect of TIRS related to
the
theme of the panel, including:
-
How may results and theories from TIRS be applied to wider debates in
Translation
and Interpreting Studies?
-
In what ways can TIRS be used as a testing ground for theories from
Translation
and Interpreting Studies?
-
How apt are Translation and Interpreting Studies methods for answering
questions
involving TIRS?
-
What are the social and/or theological role(s) of translators and/or
interpreters
in religious settings?
-
How can pedagogy for TIRS be developed based on Translation and
Interpreting
Studies?
-
What can we learn from the use of written, spoken or multimedia corpora in
TIRS
research?
-
What impacts have emerging translation and interpreting technologies had on
TIRS?
Abstracts
for the panel should be submitted here:
The
closing date is 1st November, 2012.
