Translation, Identity and Heterogeneity

New Date: December 7-9, 2007

Hosted by the University of San Marcos, Lima, Peru

Organized by
Stefano Arduini, Steve Berneking, Jose María Jimenez Cano, and Camilo Fernádez Cozman

The theme of the Lima Conference, “Translation, Identity and Heterogeneity,” takes on a special urgency today because communication, language, and translation have found new frames of reference in a post-modern world characterized by globalization, immigration, and localization. The Lima Conference will explore many aspects of this theme, including translation and minority languages, translation and the emergence of new languages (creoles, pidgens, street-languages), translation and boundaries, translation and inner cultural space, translation and cultural mediation, translation and the politics of language, to mention just some of the more obvious topics.

The conference aims to support serious, high level academic discourse on a theme of growing importance for the academy, the churches, the professions, and many other sectors of industry and society. It will bring subject matter experts together from around the world to highlight an emerging yet powerful trend in research, training, evaluation and production of translation discourse. Following the conference, the Nida Institute will publish a collection of essays taking up the themes of translation and heterogeneity, edited by S. Berneking and S. Elliott.
