Conference Translation as Reframing. University of the Azores.
27-28th June 2019.
The concept of reframing is widely used across different fields (sociology, journalism, film studies, business management, conflict management) to stress the idea that placing an object or situation in a new context – a new frame – changes the way it can be perceived and interpreted. Reframing emphasizes acts of decision-making that illustrate ideological constraints, identity formation processes, the manipulation of cultural images, and asymmetrical power relations at large. This conference invites scholars to rethink a broad range of translation issues through the lens of reframing, its devices and the agents involved in their creation. Deadline for proposals: 31 JANUARY 2019.

Journal Translation Matters: Special issue on Intersemiotic Translation.
