The International Conference of
Journals and Translation
This international conference is the
first of its kind in its particular focus to examine the connection between
translation and journal publication. The conference will be held at Jinan
University, Guangzhou, China on 28-29 June 2014. It invites both empirical and
theoretical expositions. Innovative, new paradigms which situate translation and
journal publication/publishing in the production of literary forms, intellectual
history, modernity, language hegemony, cultural and national identity etc. are
all welcome. Conference participants coming from other countries or regions in
China are advised to arrive in Guangzhou on 27 June 2014.
Under the umbrella of translation and
journal publication, abstracts of papers may be submitted to the organizing
committee on the following suggested – though not exclusive – themes:
1. Journal as a vehicle of
translation

journal publication
3. Scholarship, translation and
journals
4. Historical survey of a journal
and its use of translation
5. Globalisation, translation and
cross-cultural dialogue
6. Bilingual dictionaries and
translation
7. Intellectuals and the impact of
translation
8. Social change, translation and
interpreting
9. Modernity, translation and
transformation
10. Ethnicity, translation and

The journals referred to may take the
traditional printed format, or exist as virtual publications. The notion of
‘translation’ is understood in a broad sense, including conventional translated
texts (the source text can be identified), or adaptations, re-writings,
journalistic productions which could be regarded as hybrid
translations.
Interested scholars are invited to
submit a 250 to 300-word abstract by 10th March 2014. Contact information and
academic affiliation should be included as well. Please send submissions to ocfsc@jnu.edu.cn. The
official languages of the conference are English and Chinese.
The conference is hosted by the
School of Foreign Studies, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China. It represents the
efforts of Chinese translation scholars to interact with colleagues in East
Asia, Southeast Asia, and beyond. A special feature of the conference is that
editors of a number of prestigious journals of translation such as
Translation Studies, Perspectives, The Translator, TTR: Traduction,
Terminologie, Rédaction, Babel,
Asia Pacific
Translation and Intercultural Studies, Chinese Translators
Journal and
