Call for Papers
Translation Across Borders: Genres and Geographies
II Annual International Conference of Caesurae Collective Society

9-11 October 2018
in collaboration with
Department of English, Maulana Azad National Urdu University, Hyderabad, India

Etymologically translation means carrying across, and commonsensically, we assume that the carrying happens across language. But, the boundaries of a language are often coterminous with the boundaries of nation, state, culture, and community (whether imagined or real). What happens when a text crosses these boundaries is an interesting phenomenon to explore in Translation Studies and allied fields. The questions that such boundary-crossing raises are many: What happens to the text? What happens to the nation, state, culture, community into which it is translated? What happens to the language, nation, state, culture, community which allows its texts to go across? What happens to the translator, when texts are moved across borders? How do translators move?These questions have been addressed to some extent and fascinating answers are before us. Still, there are many facets of this phenomenon of moving across borders which need to be investigated and conceptualized.

In recent times, we find texts moving not only across languages, but also across mediums, genres, literary traditions both within and across languages. Novels and short stories becoming plays; plays turning into short stories; films/videos reincarnating as remakes, dubbed versions or with subtitles; multi-lingual texts and multi-medial texts are all around us today. In the last decade or so, we have also witnessed a shift in interest from time (History) towards space (Geography) and interesting work has been published in the area of Translation and Cities. We are hoping that this conference will bring together scholars working in these areas to further our knowledge of the field.
