Betreff: CFP: Betwixt and Between: Place & Cultural Translation
(Ireland) (1/30/05; 4/8/05-4/10/05)
Betwixt and Between - Place and Cultural Translation
An interdisciplinary conference at Queen’s University Belfast
April 8th - 10th 2005
Plenary speakers include:
Peter Bush, Ciaran Carson, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Michael Cronin, David
Johnston
Since the early Nineties, cultural translation has become a central
concern of interdisciplinary scholarship in the Humanities. Indeed, it
has often been seen as a characteristic form of interdisciplinary
practice, with anthropologists, creative writers and dramatists, and
literary and cultural historians assessing the role of translation in,
among other subjects, practices of intercultural exchange, the rhetoric
of state formation and political conflict and the elaboration of local,
national and international identities.
‘Betwixt and Between’: place and cultural translation hopes to extend
these discussions with a specific focus on locality, place and space.
What – and where – are the spaces opened up by cultural translation? To
what extent does translation define a space within which hybridized
cultural practices might develop? Do specific places contribute to the
possibility, or otherwise, of cultural translation? Can translation
offer a locale for the elaboration of new artistic, cultural and
political forms? In an historical moment when cultural understanding is
at a premium, might the spaces of translation offer locations for
political, ethical and methodological self-reflection, in the Academy
and further a field?
The conference will be organised around the following themes: The
Cultural Engagements of Translation; Translation: a Liminal Space?;
Mapping Translation; The Translator’s Identity; Performing Translation;
Acts of Translation.
Proposals with interests in a wide range of cultural and historical
situations are welcomed. Proceedings will be published as a collection
which reflects the conference themes, to be edited by Ciaran Carson,
David Johnston, Stephen Kelly and John Thompson.
Proposals of 500 words should be submitted by January 30th 2005 to:
