Call for Papers

The IPCITI conference comprises four universities across the UK and Ireland, Dublin City University, Heriot-Watt University, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Manchester. The annual IPCITI conference  aims to provide an inviting, collaborative and stimulating space for PhD and early-career researchers in the areas of translation and interpreting studies to present their research. This year’s conference, hosted by DCU, will focus on the multidisciplinary facet of translation and interpreting studies as we progress further into these fields.

Although translation and interpreting studies are considered by some to be relatively new disciplines within the humanities, there is no doubt that their significance and importance have been well established since the mid 20th century. Translation and interpreting theories have always looked at other disciplines, not only to solve key issues within the field, but also to establish innovative thinking to progress the field even further. Areas such as sociology, psychology, philosophy, cultural studies as well as many broader fields within science and technology have brought this discipline well and truly into the 21st century. As the field progresses into a world where globalisation and intercultural cooperation seem to be the way forward, we must continue to draw upon ideas and technology that enable us to remain not only relevant, but also forward-thinking and innovative.

Bearing this in mind, IPCITI 2019 invites proposals for papers in English. Topics could include, but are not limited to the following:

• The intersection between Translation/Interpreting and culture, psychology and society

• Corpus Studies, Linguistics, Terminology, Textual Studies etc.

• Moving forward - how can developments in the areas of science and technology help the translation and interpreting fields 

NB: Abstracts should have a strict focus on multidisciplinary aspects relating to translation and interpreting studies in particular.

Guidelines:

• Abstracts should be limited to 200-300 words 

• Abstracts should be sent in English along with a clear title and keywords relating to the paper

• Abstracts must contain the speaker’s name, their affiliation and current academic position (if any)
