Call for contributions :
- Theme :
- Both fixed and mobile technologies have set in motion changes that have inspired new directions and transformed the ways we perceive, learn, work, and get our information and entertainment. In translation, they have reshuffled organisational and professional points of reference, values and habits, and prompted shifts in approaches to our work, professional relations, productivity and methods of research. Can we reason effectively about these technologies? To what degree can we/should we accept the technologisation of our work practices? To what extent does this technologisation affect the translation and adaptation (transadaptation) of content envisioned to compensate for linguistic and cultural differences? The investigative and deliberately broad nature of this call for contributions aims to encourage open discussion and critical engagement with issues that have emerged in translation as technology has interacted and interfaced with the transfer of language and culture.
