Lucas Klein LUCAS KLEIN Comparative Literature is defined in part by anxiety about its institutionality. Approaching translations as works of literary scholarship equivalent to our articles and monographs can address this anxiety and also work against the Herderian assumptions of national literatures. Ultimately, the comparison of comparative literature is a metaphorical process, putting it in the same process of negotiated familiarity and strangeness as translation. In this way, institutionalizing translation might help us de-institutionalize our other institutions.

Department of Translation and Interpreting Studies Boğaziçi University, Istanbul 27-28 November 2014 The standard definitions of "translation" commonly refer to transfer processes from one language into another or to the end product of such a transfer. However, translation is not only an interlingual and intercultural phenomenon. Translation also occurs within the "same" linguistic and cultural domain. One example of intralingual translation is the numerous varieties of expert-to-layperson communication where the sophisticated language of the text needs to be simplified for the layperson.

Edited by Dror Abend-David Over the last decade there has been a dramatic increase in publications on media and translation. In fact, there are those who believe that so much has been published in this field that any further publications are superfluous. But if one views media and translation as anything ranging from film and television drama to news-casting, commercials, video games, web-pages and electronic street signs, it would seem that research in media and translation has barely scratched the surface.
Translation & Interpreting: International Journal of Translation & Interpreting Research Today multilingualism and multiculturalism have become common features of countries and societies worldwide. This striking development has major consequences for the way institutions function and guarantee human rights.

The way in which different societies and their policy-makers have been coping with the diversity of their populations differs, but there is growing awareness across the globe of the need to address these issues.
