DESCRIPTION:International Colloquium - Gender and Genre in Translation\n	Apr
 il 27 - 28 \, 2017\n\nDo male\, female and LGBT translators approach the a
 ct of language transfer in the same ways? Is there any differentiation in 
 their approaches along the lines of genre\, be the texts literary or pragm
 atic? In what ways do translators exercise their power through the use of 
 differentiated language-cultures? Is subservience or domination an issue i
 n arriving at acceptable target texts?\n\nThese questions have been dealt 
 with by scholars whose research has focused on gender\, the exercise of po
 wer in translation and genre studies. Current research tends to question t
 his relationship and brings to the fore the issue of gendered genres in tr
 anslation.\n\nGendered genres represent a significant challenge for studen
 ts of translation\, translators in practice and translation analysts. At i
 ssue is the distinction between sex and gender\, one being a biological fa
 ct and the other being a social construct. This is particularly interestin
 g with respect to the translation of so-called sacred texts often written 
 in patriarchal styles using standard male discourse patterns and frequentl
 y translated by rewriters of a different sex or different sexual orientati
 on into a different language-culture. Another area of similar interest is 
 the translation of legal texts such as court judgments and opinions. These
  texts are often written in a patriarchal style and have to be translated 
 by professionals faced with both the linguistic and sociological challenge
 s of producing equivalent texts in target language-cultures.\n\nIt is a we
 ll-known fact that the translation business is populated by an overwhelmin
 g majority of female translators. The industry also counts among its pract
 itioners a significant number of individuals whose gender may not be defin
 ed as purely biological as is the case of members of the LGBT community. H
 ence\, the ability to role play has an influence on the way in which trans
 gendered or homosexual translators may approach texts authored by what the
 y may intuitively or cognitively identify as the other.\n\nAlterity in thi
 s case is a matter of both genre and gender. It may be argued that there a
 re opposing language-cultures in this context: male-dominated language\, f
 eminist or feminine language and a multivariate LGBT language-culture.\n\n
 Papers are invited dealing with gender and genre issues in translation\, g
 endered genres and the transfer of knowledge from one language-culture to 
 another by members of groups sociologically differentiated by gender. Case
  studies and analyses of translations are welcome. Young researchers are e
 ncouraged to make proposals.\n\n\nCALENDAR\n\nJANUARY 16\, 2017 - Deadline
