[CFP] 3rd International Conference enTRetextos

Events

The research institute IULMA organizes the 3rd International Conference enTRetextos, which will take place online on 13th and 14th May 2021.

The previous Conferences of enTRetextos have undertaken the analysis of the translation of specialized discourses (Valencia, 2016) and the multidisciplinary quality of the research in specialized discourses, as well as the global vision towards these discourses (Castellón, 2018). In the existing research, great attention has been paid to the three axes that shape the edition of this EnTRetextos Conference: (a) discourse and discursive genres, (b) the study and application of specialized corpus, and (c) specialized translation. These three axes have exhibited a wide evolution in recent years, which has been accelerated by the incorporation of the digital world in current research and in the professions related to professional and specialized discourses. In this sense, this third EnTRetextos Conference aims to combine voices and research that reflect the impact that the digital era has had on the aforementioned areas of research.

This 3rd edition of enTRetextos Conference will therefore focus on the discursive, corpora, and translation genres in professional and academic contexts, focusing on the challenges and opportunities that arise in the context of the digital era. Therefore, the general theme of the Conference will be:

“Discursive genres, corpus, and translation in professional and academic contexts.
Challenges and opportunities in the digital age”

enTRetextos 2021 aims to provide a forum for analysts and users of the specialized discourses (and other related areas, such as those that are ascribed to labels such as “academic discourse” and “professional discourse”), as well as suggest new forms of analysis and share experiences. Entretextos also wishes to raise awareness among graduate students of the interest in the study and application of specialized discourses within the general field of applied modern languages.
