I International Conference on Translation and Interpreting

Discussing Translation: Art, Mediation or Professionalization?
I International Conference on Translation and Interpreting
University of Murcia
10-12 September 2014

Translation is a many-faceted activity. It may be an art for those who, observing from a distance, marvel at its most creative and seductive side; a powerful mediation tool for those with the opportunity to experience the support and solidarity of its most humanitarian work; an arduous and less idealized profession for those who practice it on a daily basis. By typecasting translation into watertight categories, definitions often fail to account for its manifold nature and the intricate system of factors underlying it. This I International Conference on Translation and Interpreting, organized by the Translation and Interpreting Department of the University of Murcia (10-12 September, 2014), aims at fostering critical thinking in the field, examining the multiple faces of translation and reflecting on feasible ways to bring this activity closer to researchers, students, teachers and professionals within the field.
The working languages of the conference will be Spanish, English and French, but papers exploring aspects of other languages (Italian, German, Arabic) are also welcome. Participation is open to scholars, students and teachers in the field of Translation Studies, as well as to professional translators and interpreters, translation companies, linguists, terminologists, publishers, etc.

Frank Austermühl. The University of Auckland, New Zealand. Xosé Castro. Professional translator, and radio and TV presenter. Erik Hertog. Legal interpreter. Minako O’Hagan. Dublin City University.
