Guest Editors: Michela Baldo (University of Hull) Jonathan Evans (University of Portsmouth) Ting Guo (University of Exeter) Special issue of Translation and Interpreting Studies The Journal of the American Translation and Interpreting Studies Association This special issue will focus on the role that translation plays in global LGBT+/Queer activism. It will analyze the practices of translation as part of activism within lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and asexual and/or allied movements, that is social movements that advocate for LGBT+ people’s rights, but it will also explore translation as part of queer activism, which emerged out of the AIDS campaigns of groups such as ACT UP and Queer Nation in the late eighties and early nineties in USA.
Special Issue of Target Edited by Alexa Alfer and Cornelia Zwischenberger In recent years, ‘translation’ has become an increasingly widely used metaphor within and across disciplines to describe, broadly, the processes by which knowledge is generated, shared and applied. At the same time, ‘collaboration’ has emerged as a buzzword in translation circles. Discussions of the latter frequently centre on recent technological advances and the expanded potential for collaborative translation they afford.
Special Issue of Translation and Interpreting Studies (TIS) Call for Papers Guest Editor María Constanza Guzmán, Glendon College, York University Periodicals, including magazines, newspapers, and journals, are important sites of translation. As vectors of intellectual exchanges, they are privileged spaces for the circulation of ideas. They are thus key cultural artifacts of the historical archive. Periodical publications have traditionally been considered worthy objects of study in various disciplines, such as history and literary studies— particularly in the sociology of literature.
