Call for papers:

Queering Translation – Translating the Queer

to be held at the Centre for Translation Studies of the University of Vienna
on 26-28 March 2015

Aim and Theme of the Conference:

Since de Lauretis introduced queer theory as "another discursive horizon,
another way of thinking the sexual" (1991:iv), this approach has played an
important role in the analysis of sex and gender in Literary, Film and Cultural
Studies. Despite its claim of interdisciplinarity, Translation Studies has yet
to fully integrate the concepts and theoretical instruments of Queer Studies.

If Queer Studies problematizes the representation of otherness, then
Translation Studies highlights the otherness of representation. Bringing
together Queer Studies and Translation Studies, therefore, should destablize
not only traditional models of representation, understood  as mimesis,
reflection, copying, but also the authorial voices and subjectivities they
produce.

The aim of this conference is to explore the common ground, both on a
theoretical and practical level, of the two disciplines and to promote
cross-fertilization by bringing together scholars from different cultures with
various research backgrounds.

Suggested Topics:

The conference is open to a variety of queer and lesbian/gay/bisexual/

 transgender topics and approaches. Possible themes include the following:

•    Queer Theorizing of Translation/Interpreting
•    Intersections between Queer Studies and Cultural Translation
•    Queering Translation/Interpreting Pedagogy
•    Translating/Interpreting (for) Marginalized Sexualities
•    Constructing Queer Identities across Cultures / in Translation
•    Translation of Queer Theoretical Writing
•    Translation of LGBT Fiction/Films
•    Queer Representations of Translators/Translation
