Following in the footsteps of recent conferences (Translating and Minority, University of Ottawa, 2016; Justice and minorized languages under a post-monolingual order, Castelló de la Plana, 2017) and publications (Translation and minority, lesser-used translated languages and cultures, JoSTrans, 2015). The aim of this conference is to explore the ways in which translating literature can serve to protect and empower minority, minor, and lesser-used languages, both in contexts of multilingualism where the power balance of the languages spoken in the same country is often unequal and in situations of conflict, where authors and translators face the threat of physical harm, coercion, censorship and/or exile.
In this spirit, we welcome contributions on the following (or related) topics:
- Translation from/into indigenous languages
- Literary translation and sexual minorities
- Translation in Gendered Contexts
- Migrant literature
- Postcolonial literature
- Translation from peripheral languages and cultures
- Translation in situations of censorship and war
- The literary translator as an activist
- The manipulation of national images through translation
