PORTUGUESE INITIATIVES

CALLS FOR PAPERS

3^rd Graduate Symposium: New Voices in Portuguese Translation Studies III, FCSH-UNL, Thursday 6th February 2020. https://newvoicespts.wordpress.com/

Following the success of the 1^st and 2nd Graduate Symposium in Translation Studies, held in 2018 and 2019, we are delighted to announce a second edition to be held in February 2020. Like last year, this Symposium aims to provide a forum where students of Translation and Translation Studies can develop their presentation skills in a safe environment. It is part of a broader initiative to develop Translation Studies in Portugal by offering a support framework for young researchers who might wish to go on to pursue a career in the field: hence, feedback will be offered to any participant that actively requests it.

The Symposium is aimed primarily at Masters or Doctorate students, though people specializing in Translation at Bachelor’s (licenciatura) and Postdoctorate levels are also welcome. It is open to people from all Portuguese universities and beyond.  Papers should be between 15-20 minutes and may be in English or in Portuguese. They may cover any aspect of Translation or Translation Studies. This year our keynote speaker will be Prof. Elena Galvão (FLUP/CETAPS), who will be talking about the interpreting profession.

A short abstract of up to 250 words should be sent to voicestranslation@gmail.com by 15h January 2020, accompanied by a brief biosketch (up to 50 words).

International Conference: The 22nd annual conference of the European Association for Machine Translation will take place from 4th to 6th May 2020 at the Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon. Deadline for proposals: 6^th March 2020. Further information: https://eamt2020.inesc-id.pt/

Journal: Translation Matters: Vol 2. No. 2 (Autumn 2020): Special issue: Translation under Dictatorships. Deadline: 28 February 2020.

 Submissions are invited for a special issue of Translation Matters on the subject of Translation under Dictatorships, and seeks to attract specialists who will make a serious contribution to scholarship in the field. While it is expected that many of the submissions will be concerned with translation under the Portuguese Estado Novo, the Call is by no means restricted to this reality. We are also interested in general or theoretical reflections about translation under censorship conditions, as well as individual case studies from different geographical and temporal contexts. 

Articles, in English or in Portuguese, should be 6000-8000 words in length, including references and footnotes, and be formatted in accordance with the guidelines given on the journal’s website. Papers should be uploaded onto the site by 28th February 2020. https://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/tm/index. Queries to: karen.bennett@netcabo.pt
