Translation in Transition
Barnard College, New York City, May 1-2, 2015
How can we consolidate the gains made by Translation Studies over
the last quarter century? What are the future coordinates of a field
that is always – and perhaps should remain – in transition?
Translation Studies emerged as an academic discipline within the last
thirty years, and the word ‘translation’ itself is often invoked when we
celebrate the productivity of intellectual exchange. Yet despite
translation’s growing visibility as a metaphor for such exchange, and
indeed as a vehicle for it, translation’s place in the university
remains in flux. This conference seeks to take the pulse of current
research in Translation Studies and to map emerging and innovative
approaches in the field. Our aim is not merely to examine the role of
translation in academic settings; it is also to explore the
relationships universities might foster with other sites where
translation is at work
