The Third Conference on Interdisciplinarity in Translation and Interpreting
Telescope or Periscope:
An Interdisciplinary Look into the Future
AIMS & SCOPE
Following the legacy of CISTI at GIIT, SISU, this Third Biennial Conference on Inter-disciplinarity in Translation and Interpreting (T&I) aims to provide a platform for professors, researchers and postgraduate scholars in Translation and Interpreting Studies (T&I) and the academic and professional actors of the major related fields in which interdisciplinary training and research is currently performed, such as:
- Economy
- Law
- Medicine
- Neuroscience
- Affective sciences, etc.
T&I has developed from poly-disciplinary origins into an inter-discipline, which is reflected in this year’s conference central theme: “Telescope or Periscope: An Interdisciplinary Look into the Future”.
It also features two dimensions, the time dimension extends from the early practical and theoretical approaches to present-day media and political discourses, and the geographic dimension traverses from Anglophone zones to other world language areas. In engaging the multitude objects of study with inter-disciplinary approaches, we aim to gain new insights into the study of products, processes, agents and social-cultural contexts of T&I, and also address some challenges faced by T&I investigations that share borders with various disciplines. Therefore, this conference aims at covering a range of current trends in T&I.
The Conference will be proceeded by a seminar given by Dr. François MASSION from D.O.G. Dokumentation ohne Grenzen GmbH on 24 October on the topic of Knowledge-aware Terminologies, the New Paradigm in the Field of Terminology Work and followed by Professor Jean-Marie ANNONI from Ordinary professor of Neurology, Department of Medicine, University of Fribourg on 27 October.
