Title: Postgraduate Symposium on Cultural Translation

Proposals are invited for papers to be presented as part of our

related fields, to present their research. Although open to a wide range 
of responses, we are particularly interested in the following areas:

* Critical perspectives on cultural translation as a concept/term
* Intermediality, translation between different cultural forms, and 
adaptation

* Cultural translators as/and/versus cultural intermediaries

* Cultural translation and politics - including questions of erasure, 
representation, and appropriation

* Cultural translation in relation to ideas of 'third space', 
'hybridity' and the 'in-between'

* Failures in cultural translation
