ANNOUNCEMENTS

Journal: The second issue of Translation Matters, a Special issue on Intersemiotic Translation and Multimodality, is now out. The complete issue and/or individual articles may be downloaded at: https://ojs.letras.up.pt/index.php/tm/issue/view/458

Open Session: A Arte de Traduzir do Neerlandês, Patrícia Couto, 13 de Novembro (4ª-feira), entre as 16h00 e as 18h00, no Auditório 2 (3º Piso da Torre B) da FCSH, Avenida de Berna, 26 C.
Estas sessões públicas visam familiarizar os tradutores com os seus leitores, bem como proporcionar a académicos e a estudantes de tradução um conhecimento mais aprofundado da actividade tradutória. Outro objectivo destas sessões, inseridas num projecto de investigação mais vasto que procura levar a cabo o mapeamento  cognitivo dos tradutores portugueses, consiste em valorizar o trabalho do tradutor tanto ao nível científico como social, dando-lhe a possibilidade de expor publicamente a sua “teoria” e a sua metodologia de tradução junto de um público interessado (leitores, estudantes de tradução), conferindo-lhe simultaneamente maior visibilidade e promovendo o seu estatuto na sociedade portuguesa.

A Arte de Traduzir do Neerlandês
O que faz Camões nos Países Baixos? E que razões terão levado ao afastamento entre as duas culturas, a holandesa e a portuguesa, depois de um período de convivência comum e de intercâmbio cultural? Por vezes, a literatura oferece-nos, de forma mais subtil, pistas sobre os meandros da interculturalidade, passada e presente. É desses fios de que é entretecida a cultura que Patrícia Couto, tradutora do Neerlandês, nos vem falar hoje, ao abordar algumas das múltiplas peripécias que marcam as relações culturais entre os dois povos.

CALLS FOR PAPERS

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

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 third 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 [email protected] by 15h January 2020, accompanied by a brief biosketch (up to 50 words).

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: [email protected]
