linguistic and cultural divides;
* 'cultural translation' between mainlands and diasporas, as well as
among diasporas;
* the translator / interpreter as cultural broker in a transnational world;
* intercultural relations and their political impact, including the
need for 'translating' between old and new;
* the role of literary translation in challenging or reinforcing
cultural difference;
* covert censorship - mediated manipulations and the role of the
translator / interpreter;
* policy and practice;
* issues in signed languages interpreting and translation;
* high culture and popular culture as sites of contest or mediation;
* transnational media and their role in facilitating, or
discouraging, intercultural understanding;
* new media in translation;
* gender, sexuality and norms in intercultural studies;
* transnational and regional identities and their relationship to
culture and processes of translation;
* intercultural mediation, including community interpreting and
translation;
