Call for Publications-
Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies (LLIDS), an academic journal, invites original and unpublished research papers from scholars on the following:
Establishment of Translation Studies as an independent academic discipline in the second half of 20th century, and the subsequent burgeoning of its corpus, has apportioned debates on conceptualization of translation within
western and non-western frames. These debates concern themselves with
the translational praxis across different linguistic cultures which
resist a monolithic understanding of the discipline of translation along
with the problematic of meaning within the translated texts itself
which varies significantly from one culture to another.
At
this juncture of available scholarship it is recognized that any
fruitful discussion of translation addresses, if not necessarily begin
with, an act of interpretation. This question of translation as
interpretation itself merits scrutiny as to what is involved in a
translation/interpretation, for it is only as interpretation that a
particular translation limits or delimits the discursive spaces of
meaning in a particular text. Focus on translation as interpretation
also problematizes the location of translation itself as well
as conterminous re-presentation of the source text and the target text.
Moreover if translations are to be viewed as “rewritings”, as Andre
Lefevere suggests, then the notions of ‘authorship’ too demand to be
revisited and complexity of these notions of authorship in
individualistic terms need to be played off against “community
translations.”
We propose this Call for Papers for a more
comprehensive view of what is called translation and its pivotal
position at the cross-road of interdisciplinary studies. Please send us
papers that delve on or go beyond the following themes -
- Historical and contemporary perspectives on translation
- Tradition of translation
- Translation and authorship
- Evolution of translation practices
- Translability of texts
- Literature in translation
- Praxis of translation
- Interpretation and Localization
The broad aim of Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies consists in providing a discursive space for all the researchers committed to quality work. We believe that in reaching the society at large, quality research has not only the potential to transform it, but also to redefine intellectual landscape by harnessing the synergy essential to inter-disciplinary research. With this broad aim in view, we encourage scholars from humanities, social sciences and other related disciplines to submit their research work.
Only complete papers will be considered for publication. The papers need to be submitted according to the latest guidelines of the MLA format. You are welcome to submit full papers (not less than 3500 words) along with a 150 words abstract, list of keywords, bio-note and word count on or before 20th November, 2017. Please email your submissions to - llids.journal@gmail.com
Note - We do not solicit any fee for publication.
