[ecrea] Call for Papers - Translation Across Borders: Genres and Geographies

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.
