[CFP] IATIS 2018 – Translation and Cultural Mobility PANEL 12: Advances in Discourse Analysis in Translation Studies: Theoretical Models and Applications
PANEL 12: Advances in Discourse Analysis in Translation Studies: Theoretical Models and Applications
Panel Organizers:
Jeremy Munday (University of Leeds)
Binhua Wang (University of Leeds)
Meifang Zhang (University of Macau)
Discourse analysis in its various forms (language use above the sentence, meaning-making in whole texts in specific social and cultural contexts) deals with the entire act of linguistic and cultural communication and the construction and representation of identity. It has long been applied in translation studies to explain the expression of ideology and to track the translator/interpreter’s cultural intervention. This panel is the continuation of the successful discourse analysis panel at IATIS 5 and the roundtables held in Macao (2012), Leeds (2014) and the University of New South Wales (2016). It aims to take stock of recent developments in the field and to explore, through the methodologies of discourse analysis, how cultural intervention is conducted in translation and interpreting.
While we are open to paper proposals in any aspect related to the panel theme, we particularly welcome submissions for the following areas:
- Manifestations (linguistic and other) of translators’/interpreters’ cultural intervention.
- Analysis of different types of multimodal and audiovisual texts.
- Analysis of interpreting and of the interpreter’s positioning.
- The development of new models and the enhancement of existing models of discourse analysis in translation studies.
- The construction of identity in translation.
- Translated discourse in institutions.
- The translation of media, social media and political discourse.
- Markers of appraisal/evaluation and the interpersonal meta-function.
- Discourse analysis as a means of identifying audience interpretations.
Above all, we hope that the wide range of potential contributions will open up interaction with other panels around the main theme of the conference.
