CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE OF TRANSFORMATIONS

TEACHING IN TRANSLATION


DEADLINE: 15 January 2006


"Translation" raises questions of authenticity, authority, legitimization,
subjectivity, and objectivity. How can we theorize translation so that 
it can
serve as tool to present "experience&#65533; 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 marginalize communities and indigenous cultures? What 
are the
ethics of translation?

For this special issue, we use  the phrase "teaching in translation" to 
refer to
teaching that occurs across boundaries&#65533;of language, nationality, 
culture,
class, race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality as well teaching that questions
traditional disciplinary and hierarchical limits.

The editors of Transformations seek articles (3,000 - 8,000 words) and media
reviews (books, film, video, performance, art, music, etc. (1,000 to 3,000
words) examining approaches to teaching translation as a broadly understood
concept in a variety of contexts: creative writing (for example, the
multilingual texts), literature, women&#65533;s 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.

Topics might include, but are not limited to:

How teaching in translation can be implemented at all levels, K-12 and
higher education.
How teaching in translation can be relevant to progressive education.
Hybrid genres and hybrid languages.
Teaching in translation in non-academic spaces such centers for refugees.
How to formulate and incorporate translation theories into pedagogical
practice.
