International colloquium of translation

Istanbul, 21-23 October 2009
Association of Translation

Call for contributions
The Association of Translation which brings together translators,
translation bureaus and translation scholars will hold an
international colloquium on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of
its foundation, under the auspices of Istanbul University, with the theme
"Translation in all its Aspects with Focus on International Dialogue".

Communication encounters in the international relations of our time,
in cases of both contact and conflict, bring to the foreground the
role played by translation and translators more than ever. Discussions
on the activities, constraints and opportunities of translators who
play an active role in overcoming problems of communication triggered
by regionalisations, communication barriers and prejudices across
societies, with their professional and intellectual positions, and an
overall assessment of professional organisations of translators in
this context, will bring forth new expansions to our world in its
search for peace and justice. Acknowledging the role of education in
both the training of translators equipped with key skills and
solidification of the professional status of translators, translator
training is planned to be one of the leading sub-themes of the
Colloquium. In an age where intercultural relations are expanding, it
will be of special importance to hold this Colloquium in Turkey given
her location at the intersection of cultures serving as the cradle of
civilisations from the past to the present. Views and discussions by
translators as agents of communication from all sub-fields of the
profession, researchers of the fields in question, translator trainers
and scholars of cultural and political research will, no doubt, open
up new horizons for all interested and involved in translation.

Presentation proposals under the headings below will be welcome:
- intercultural dialogue
Translation in relations across societies
International relations, diplomacy and translation
Communication barriers and translation
- professional expansions
Translation and human rights issues / translation and laws
Professional organisations of translation
Problems of organisation

Translation standards, contracts and copy rights
- fields of practice
Literary translation (prose, poetry, drama)
Translation of religious texts
Translation of theoretical texts
Translation of scientific and technical texts
