*CFP (_Submission deadline extended_) | IPCITI 2018 | Negotiating Power 
in Translation and Interpreting: Agency, Represenation, Ideology | 26-27 
October 2018, University of Manchester*


The IPCITI Conference is the result of a long-term collaboration between 
Dublin City University, Heriot-Watt University, the University of 
Edinburgh and the University of Manchester. IPCITI is designed to 
provide PhD and early career researchers from various areas of 
translation and interpreting studies with the opportunity to share their 
research with peers in a supportive and intellectually stimulating 
environment. This year’s iteration of the event aims to explore the 
various conceptions of power that shape the discipline’s understanding 
of its own position as well as that of its objects: the people, 
processes and products that shape professional and voluntary 
interlingual transactions.


The concept of power has been at the centre of cutting-edge research in 
translation and interpreting for three decades now, producing a wide 
array of approaches to shifting relations of submission, resistance and 
domination. Translation and interpreting are acts of critical 
intervention, subject to complex decision-making procedures as to what 
does or does not merit representation. The actors involved not only 
disseminate ideas, but in doing so may consolidate communities (social, 
cultural, virtual, etc.) that would otherwise lack communicative 
coherence. At the same time, ideological boundaries restrict 
translators’ and interpreters’ scope of authority, as mediation is 
dependent upon shared codes, norms and institutions. Moreover, 
constraints are not limited to internalized assumptions and the 
negotiation of reciprocal influence: power shapes and is shaped by 
material conditions, ranging from workplace to world order and back again.


IPCITI 2018 particularly welcomes abstracts that address the following 
topics in relation to translation and interpreting:

  * concepts and theories of power and ideology
