Translation plays an important role as a powerful medium of representation, especially in a world of intensified cultural and technological interaction. It is a complex process that involves not only the transfer of texts across languages and cultures, but also the exercise of a politics and ethics of representation that reflect the positionality of the translator and are embedded in structures of authority as well as specific ideological and technological environments.

Prefiguration, or ‘prefigurative politics’, involves experimenting with ways of enacting the principles being advocated by an activist group in the here and now, rather than at some future point when the conditions for the ‘ideal society’ have already been created, thus collapsing the traditional distinction between means and ends.
Deadline for applications: 15 September 2014 ARTIS, or Advancing Research in Translation and Interpreting Studies, is a new research training initiative in the broad area of translation and interpreting studies. The training we offer is designed to help researchers to improve their research skills and methods, to set up and manage research projects effectively, and to negotiate and apply theoretical models. In providing training along these lines ARTIS seeks to contribute to the enhancement of translation and interpreting research quality in general.
