CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE

Teaching In Translation
=93Teaching in Translation=93 refers to pedagogies that cross
boundaries--language, nationality, culture, class, race/ethnicity,
gender, sexuality--as well as teaching that questions traditional
disciplinary and hierarchical limits.  =93Translation=94 raises questions=
 of
authenticity, authority, legitimization, subjectivity, and objectivity.
How can we theorize translation so that it serves as a tool to present
"experience=94 with respect for the integrity of the other? What is the
relationship between the different subjects involved in the process of
translation? What is the role of translation in the validation of the
narratives of marginalized communities and indigenous cultures? What are
the ethics of translation? What does the process of translation teach us
about power and inequality?

The editors of Transformations seek articles (3,000=968,000 words) and
media reviews (books, film, video, performance, art, music, etc. =96 1,00=
0
to 3,000 words) examining approaches to teaching translation as a
broadly understood concept in a variety of contexts: creative writing
(for example, multilingual texts), literature, women=92s and gender
studies, anthropology, history, psychology, sociology, art, photography,
geography, religion, philosophy, working-class studies, ethnic studies,
cultural studies, science, and others. Multidisciplinary approaches that
focus on--or include--discussions of non-western cultures are especially
encouraged. Autobiographical criticism, narrative scholarship,
photo-essays, and experimental work are welcome.

education, from K-12 to universities.
