SUMMARY:Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood: Integration\, Community\, and Co-Habitation
DESCRIPTION:A conference of the UCD Humanities Institute\, University College Dublin in collaboration with the Institute of Modern Languages Research\, School of Advanced Study\, University of London\, and supported by OWRI Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community – Translingual Strand. \nClick here for more details and to view the programme \nGlobal mass migration on an unprecedented scale; dangerous journeys across the Mediterranean by refugees fleeing persecution and warfare; the loss of family and friends; the loss of home; the challenge of integrating the arrivants / arrivantes; and conflicting notions of identity and belonging – these are some of the transcultural predicaments of the globalisation processes of the 21st century coming to a head in the local encounters of urban (and rural) neighbourhoods. Whereas Singapore’s Holland Village\, London’s Brixton and Berlin’s Kreuzberg have grown into trendy multi- and transcultural neighbourhoods coined by creativity and a newly affluent cosmopolitan class\, others seem troubled by disenfranchisement\, discord\, and/or feelings of social dislocation\, with Molenbeek in Brussels and the Clichy-sous-Bois banlieue in Paris being perhaps the most notorious examples. While Clichy-sous-Bois gained notoriety during the highly mediatised 2005 street riots\, Molenbeek was labelled a breeding ground for Islamist terrorism after the bombings in Paris and Brussels in 2015 and 2016. \nTransnational neighbourhoods are frequently depicted as the ‘other’ and – as Gillian Jein notes – a ‘deviant terrain’. However\, voices from within often emphasise different perceptions and have the potential to challenge and counter discourses emerging in the context of the rapid rise of populist right-wing parties across Europe that aim to reinstate or “protect” ethnic nationalism\, Christianity as the dominant religion\, a national language and organic culture\, ancestry and lineage\, and membership of a dominant ethnic or racial group as the bases for national membership.The current political debate is highly polarised\, binary and often dominated by quantitative arguments concerning the number of refugees\, and the social\, economic and political impact of their integration. \nAgainst this backdrop\, our conference seeks to shift focus by exploring transcultural encounters in the urban neighbourhood. We posit that the urban neighbourhood is a social microcosm that allows for a more nuanced discussion of transculturality as lived practice. The urban neighbourhood is local but not provincial; it is a fluid space in which various temporal and spatial axes intersect; it is the locus where diverse trans/cultural practices can engender togetherness as well as differences and conflict. It is the contact zone where disparate cultures meet in often highly asymmetrical relations\, fostering processes of hybridisation\, creolisation and neoculturation. The neighbourhood is open to the type of multi-scalar perspective that\, according to Ann Rigney\, avoids entrapment in a binary discourse. \nThe French street- and community artist JR’s work provides an example of how artistic reflections can highlight these positive dynamics\, intervene in political discourse and help shape perceptions of transnational neighbourhoods. His 150m2 fresco Chroniques de Clichy-Montfermeil (2017)\, for instance\, not only charts the 2005 riots and encompasses 750 portraits of the neighbourhood’s ethnically diverse population\, but also interweaves it with France’s revolutionary past by quoting Jacques-Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii (1786) and Tennis Court Oath (1794) as well as Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People (1830)\, thereby transgressing conventional concepts of identity and belonging. \nThe urban neighbourhood lends itself to a broad multi-perspectival and interdisciplinary exploration of transcultural practices. We invite papers from a broad range of disciplines and fields\, including urban geography\, urban planning\, architecture\, memory studies\, film studies\, visual and performance arts\, contemporary literary studies\, cultural studies\, sociology\, practice-based research and linguistics. \nCLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS

SUMMARY:Transnational Perspectives on the Study of Spanish in Society
DESCRIPTION:Languages travel and adapt to the new circumstances faced by their speakers. The growth of the Spanish language has always been transnational in nature\, insofar as any expansion has been grounded in cultural and economic exchange. Therefore\, at this conference\, we wish to bring together those with scholarly interests in the situation of the Spanish language in the contemporary world. Almost twenty years into the new millennium\, we want to reflect on how Spanish speakers\, be they in their countries of origin or in the diaspora\, construct and negotiate concepts of community. How is this achieved by recourse to ideas of borders\, migration and contact? How do speakers move beyond notions of physical space\, and push social\, political\, cultural and commercial boundaries\, in order to break through the limits imposed on them by nations and continents? (Mar-Molinero and Stewart 2006; Foner 2005; Jackson et al. 2004). \nWe wish to explore the following questions: Are we at present witnessing processes of homogenisation and standardisation of norms and uses\, thanks to the global space in which Spanish speakers move and communicate\, all made possible by technological advances\, and policies of a Pan-Hispanic nature? Or\, in fact\, do we find ourselves in an unprecedented social situation which allows language to be more pluricentric\, local\, innovative and ‘superdiverse’ than ever before? (Lebsanft\, Mihatsch and Polzin-Haumann 2012; Zimmermann 2014; Blommaert 2015; Arnaut 2016) Now is the time to debate what methods and research protocols are the most effective at capturing the complexity that arises from such situations. What does it mean to view things transnationally? How can such a perspective benefit the study of the relationships between Spanish speakers in a global world? \nThese will be the triggers for discussion at our conference which\, three years on\, will bring everyone together in Edinburgh\, in order to celebrate a hundred years of Hispanic Studies at The University of Edinburgh. \nBook via: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/transnational-perspectives-on-the-study-of-spanish-in-society-tickets-60746784267 \n\nThis event is organised by University of Edinburgh with support from the Institute of Modern Languages Research and the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community\, Translingual Strand.

SUMMARY:Configuring ‘World Theatre’
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speaker: Professor Osita Okagbue (Professor of Theatre and Performance at Goldsmiths University of London). Conference organisers: Julia Prest and Michael Wood (University of Edinburgh) \nThe purpose of the conference is to unite scholars from Modern Languages departments and related disciplines within the Arts and Humanities for two days of discussion on the topic of World Theatre. Within the Anglophone and European contexts\, ‘World Theatre’ still tends to be understood as referring to the research of separate national theatrical traditions and practices from across the globe or giving overviews of individual theorists and practitioners from outside of the European and American world. Yet there is much that theatre research can gain from the methodologies and insights of World Literature research and Transnational Studies. \nWhile World Literature has become a well-established paradigm for Modern Languages research in recent decades\, this conference seeks to promote the field of World Theatre in Scotland and beyond. Bringing researchers who specialise on theatre within different language areas and scholars from related disciplines into conversation with each other and with existing theories of World Literature and Transnationality\, we hope to find exciting new avenues for on-going and future scholarship\, including collaborative research. \nThe conference will feature a combination of research papers and discussions on a wide and varied range of topics led by scholars from institutions across the world. Participants will be invited to attend a theatre performance in Edinburgh on 20th June that will form the basis for discussion and debate the following day. \nImage: Native American tribal Ceremonies in Philadelphia\, by John Lewis Krimmel and Pavel Svinyin (1811-1813). \nBOOKING TO OPEN SHORTLY \nSupported by the Institute of Modern Languages Research Regional Conference Scheme\, OWRI Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community – Translingual Strand\, with additional support from the School of Modern Languages at the University of St Andrews and the British Academy.

SUMMARY:Digital Diasporas: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Venue: University of Westminster\, 309 Regent Street\, London W1B 2HW \nCONFERENCE HOME PAGE\n\nSince Appadurai wrote on the intertwined phenomena of electronic media and migration as disruptive and defining features of modern subjectivity (1996)\, the relationship between digital technologies and diasporic communities has emerged as a critical area of study across a number of disciplines. However\, such research risks remaining isolated within disciplinary silos\, often despite the similar processes\, practices and materials studied. This conference aims to inspire greater dialogue across disciplinary boundaries in order to develop a richer understanding of the role of the digital in creating and sustaining diasporic connections and communities\, and of how diasporic groups and individuals transform and shape digital tools and technologies for their own creative and strategic purposes.Through this dialogue it is hoped that new transdisciplinary ways of working may develop which challenge knowledge fragmentation in order to confront the complexity of the contemporary context of intensified cultural and linguistic flows and new patterns of human mobility. At the same time\, drawing attention to diasporic narratives and approaches to digital culture and technologies can function as both critique and challenge to centralised narratives of digital progress and development often restricted to predominantly Anglophone contexts. \nWe especially welcome research which pays attention to the linguistic and cultural dimensions of digital technologies and media. This is\, however\, not restricted to any specific geographical area\, language or type of community. Equally\, the digital is intended to encompass the fullest range of digital practices\, materials and technologies\, while the conference aims to include methodological and analytical approaches ranging across\, for example\, ethnographic\, cultural studies and computational approaches. \nEarly-bird registration (available until 30 April 2019):\nStandard rate: £80\nConcession rate (students/unwaged): £50 \nLate registration (from 1 May 2019 and depending on availability):\nStandard rate: £90\nConcession rate (students/unwaged): £60 \nBOOK HERE

SUMMARY:Across Languages: Translingualism in Contemporary Women’s Writing
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speakers: Anna-Louise Milne (University of London Institute in Paris)\, Rebecca L. Walkowitz (Rutgers University) \nA Reading and Discussion with Katja Petrowskaja (Vielleicht Esther) and translator Shelley Frisch of the English translation\, Maybe Esther\, is scheduled as part of the conference on 30 May under the series Encounters: Writers and Translators in Conversation. \nThis conference is organised by the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Women’s Writing (CCWW) in collaboration with the AHRC Open World Research Initiative project ‘Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community’. It follows on from an exploratory workshop that was held at the IMLR in March 2018\, ‘A New Language – a New Life? Translingual literature by contemporary women writers’. It brings together scholars working on translingual women’s writing in a range of language fields in order to explore the particular richness of texts produced by writers in languages that are not their mother tongues. \nIn the current era of mass migration and transnational movement\, analysis of translingualism as the mode of expression of this movement is an important area of inquiry. Where static concepts of belonging are questioned and increasingly replaced by hybrid identities and affiliations\, and by fluid attachments\, changing with time\, the power of translingual language use and its analysis can become a means to re-imagine the identitarian force of language. Translingualism can bring to the fore new subjectivities and new forms of community (Kellman\, 2000; Yildiz\, 2012). Considered in conjunction with questions of gender and power\, translingual writing can also reveal powerful ways of conceptualizing emancipatory feminine writing. Beyond concerns of identity formation\, translingual language use opens up new ways of thinking\, deconstructing established modes of expression through associative cross-language connections. In so transcending the binaries of language use it is apt to reveal new forms of literary writing. \nDr Anna-Louise Milne is an author\, an academic\, and founder of The Paris Centre for Migrant Writing and Expression (ULIP). Professor Rebecca L. Walkowitz teaches English and Comparative Literature at Rutgers University\, New Jersey. Her recent monograph\, Born Translated: The Contemporary Novel in an Age of World Literature (2015)\, has been highly influential in re-thinking literary history as a series of transnational and translingual convergences and divergences. \nRegistration includes attendance at the Encounters reading/discussion with Katja Petrowskaja and Shelley Frisch\, lunch and a drinks reception on the first day\, and refreshments throughout. \nBOOKING NOW OPEN \nStandard rate: £30\nConcession rate (conference speakers/students/unwaged): £15  \nThis event is organised Centre for Contemporary Women’s Writing\, the Institute of Modern Languages Research and the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community\, Translingual Strand.

SUMMARY:Digital Modern Languages Seminar Series Launch
DESCRIPTION:Professor Claire Taylor\, University of Liverpool: ‘Points of Intersection: Digital Modern Languages’ \nAbstract: In my talk I would like to explore the points of interconnection that have arisen in recent years between Modern Languages and the digital broadly conceived\, this latter encompassing digital humanities\, digital culture\, digital pedagogy\, and many more. Starting from an overview of recent developments in Modern Languages research that have engaged with the digital\, I subsequently set out the crucial contributions that Modern Linguists can make to debates in Digital Humanities and Digital Culture Studies. I highlight in particular the insights that Modern Linguists can offer regarding co-creation; a commitment to community engagement; a contestation of Anglophone models; and a linguistically- and culturally-specific cultural studies approach to digital materials. In this way\, the talk argues\, Modern Languages scholarship on the digital can be part of the productive dialogue between humanities-based approaches and cultural studies-based approaches that currently characterises debates in Digital Humanities and Digital Culture studies alike\, and can contribute to the shape of these fields. \nClaire Taylor is Professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of Liverpool and leads the Digital Latin American Cultures Network with Thea Pitman and Tori Holmes. \nThe seminar will be followed by a wine reception. \nATTENDANCE FREE BUT PLACES LIMITED.

The series is convened by Paul Spence (King’s College London) and Naomi Wells (Institute of Modern Languages Research).

SUMMARY:Cartonera: Latin American Cardboard Books
DESCRIPTION:Cartonera is a contemporary publishing phenomenon that lies at the intersection between cultural trend and social movement\, artistic intervention and community project. Known in Latin America as editoriales cartoneras\, they are often referred to as ‘cardboard publishers’\, because one feature that unites the diverse publishing projects is the material from which they make their books: recycled cardboard. Many of these presses popped up in Argentina around the time of the 2001 economic crisis\, as a result of economic hardship\, but also as new social enterprises\, creating cheap and accessible books from waste materials. \nThis free event offers participants the chance to find out more about this phenomenon\, including a chance to see some of the Library’s own collection of cartoneras. A presentation by academic and researcher Dr Lucy Bell (University of Surrey) will be followed by a workshop where you will be able to try your hand at making your own cartonera. \nCLICK HERE FOR BOOKING \nimage: courtesy of cartonerapublishing.com  \n\n\nThe workshop is part of an action-research project on community engagement and the Latin American community in Southwark by the AHRC Open World Research Initiative project “Cross Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community” at the Institute of Modern Languages Research\, University of London\, in partnership with Southwark Council.

SUMMARY:Languages of Moscow
DESCRIPTION:image: Kievskaya Station\, Moscow Metro \nThe “Languages of Moscow” project investigates urban multilingualism from the perspectives of language function\, education and language policy\, among others. The main aims of the project are to study and explain linguistic diversity\, the dynamics of language/culture contact\, language shifts and identity construction strategies in the Russian capital. \nThe ethnic\, linguistic\, cultural and religious diversity of Moscow – Europe’s largest city – is under-researched and in urgent need of investigation. It is fascinating to examine how globalisation processes influence this multilingual urban space. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach to our investigation of language functions in Moscow and its metropolitan area\, we examine language interactions within ethnic communities\, including interaction and linguistic socialisation of immigrant children and their attempts to preserve identity within the state Russian-speaking school system. \nJulia Mazurova\, Marina Raskladkina – ‘Linguistic diversity of Moscow’\nDenis Zubalov – ‘Ethno-linguistic groups in Moscow: the case of Georgians and Greeks’ \nThis workshop is free to attend but places are limited.

SUMMARY:Workshops on Computer-Assisted Literary Translation (CALT) at Swansea University
DESCRIPTION:Swansea Translating and Interpreting Group is delighted to announce two 2-day workshops at Swansea University on Computer-Assisted Literary Translation (CALT) – part of the Open World Research Initiative: “Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community” – Translingual Strand\, with additional support from Swansea’s Language Research Centre. \nFirst Workshop: 25-26 January 2019\nKeynote speaker Prof. Dorothy Kenny\, Professor in Applied Language and Intercultural Studies at Dublin City University\, editor of Human Issues in Translation Technology (Routledge\, 2017): “Corpora\, Machines and Literary Translation. A Guided Tour”. \nLiterary translators tend to resist using the systems which dominate the lives of most other professional translators\, such as CAT tools\, translation memories\, termbases\, machine translation engines. But can these and corpus analysis tools be hacked for the benefit of literary translators? \nWe will discuss the promise and risks involved. There will be training sessions with a variety of digital tools\, as well as presentations of research and practice. \nNEW DATES! Second Workshop: 29-30 May 2019: BOOKING TO OPEN SHORTLY\nKeynote speaker Andy Way\, Professor in Computing at Dublin City University\, editor of Machine Translation journal\, co-author of recent studies on Neural Machine Translation performance with literary texts. Title: tbc. \nThese workshops are co-funded by OWRI “Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community” – Translingual Strand\, and Swansea University’s Language Research Centre\, and are free to attend with advance booking. Academics\, research students and practising translators are all welcome.

SUMMARY:Call For Papers: Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood: Integration\, Community and Co-Habitation
DESCRIPTION:A conference of the UCD Humanities Institute\, University College Dublin in collaboration with the Institute of Modern Languages Research\, School of Advanced Study\, University of London. \nCall for papers deadline: 10 January 2019\nConference dates: 25-27 September 2019\, Dublin \nGlobal mass migration on an unprecedented scale; dangerous journeys across the Mediterranean by refugees who are fleeing persecution and warfare; the loss of family and friends; the loss of home; the challenge of integrating the arrivants / arrivantes; and conflicting notions of identity and belonging: these are some of the transcultural predicaments of the globalisation processes of the 21st century coming to a head in the local encounters of urban (and rural) neighbourhoods. Whereas Singapore’s Holland Village\, London’s Brixton and Berlin’s Kreuzberg have grown into trendy multi- and transcultural neighbourhoods coined by creativity and a newly affluent cosmopolitan class\, others seem troubled by disenfranchisement\, discord\, and/or feelings of social dislocation\, with Molenbeek in Brussels and the Clichy-sous-Bois banlieue in Paris being perhaps the most notorious examples. While Clichy-sous-Bois gained notoriety during the highly mediatised 2005 street riots\, Molenbeek was labelled a breeding ground for Islamist terrorism after the bombings in Paris and Brussels in 2015 and 2016. \nTransnational neighbourhoods are frequently depicted as the ‘other’ and – as Gillian Jein notes – a ‘deviant terrain’. However\, voices from within often emphasise different perceptions and have the potential to challenge and counter discourses emerging in the context of the rapid rise of populist right-wing parties across Europe that aim to reinstate or “protect” ethnic nationalism\, Christianity as the dominant religion\, a national language and organic culture\, ancestry and lineage\, and membership in a dominant ethnic or racial group as the bases for national membership. The current political debate is highly polarised\, binary and often dominated by quantitative arguments concerning the number of refugees\, and the social\, economic and political impact of their integration. \nAgainst this backdrop\, our conference seeks to shift focus by exploring transcultural encounters in the urban neighbourhood. We posit that the urban neighbourhood is a social microcosm that allows for a more nuanced discussion of transculturality as lived practice. The urban neighbourhood is local but not provincial; it is a fluid space in which various temporal and spatial axes intersect;  it is the locus where diverse trans/cultural practices can engender togetherness as well as differences and conflict. It is the contact zone where disparate cultures meet in often highly asymmetrical relations\, fostering processes of hybridisation\, creolisation and neoculturation. The neighbourhood is open to the type of multi-scalar perspective that\, according to Ann Rigney\, avoids entrapment in a binary discourse. \nThe French street- and community artist JR’s work provides an example of how artistic reflections can highlight these positive dynamics\, intervene in political discourse and help shape perceptions of transnational neighbourhoods. His 150m2 fresco Chroniques de Clichy-Montfermeil (2017)\, for instance\, not only charts the 2005 riots and encompasses 750 portraits of the neighbourhood’s ethnically diverse population\, but also interweaves it with France’s revolutionary past by quoting Jacques-Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii (1786) and Tennis Court Oath (1794) as well as Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People (1830)\, thereby transgressing conventional concepts of identity and belonging. \nThe urban neighbourhood lends itself to a broad multi-perspectival and interdisciplinary exploration of transcultural practices. We invite papers from a broad range of disciplines and fields\, including urban geography\, urban planning\, architecture\, memory studies\, film studies\, visual and performance arts\, contemporary literary studies\, cultural studies\, sociology\, practice-based research and linguistics. \nPossible lines of investigation include: \nTheorising the Transnational/Transcultural Neighbourhood\n \n\nThe role of space/time\nNotions of belonging/attachment\nThe dynamic of inclusion/exclusion\nTransculturation/Hybridisation/Creolisation\nPorosity/Enclosure\nProximity/Distance\nIntimacy/Enmity\nVernacular styles\n\nMulti-Scalar Perspectives on Integration and Conflict \n\nCase Studies of social inclusion through education\, training and youth work; preventing and combating discrimination\, gender-based violence\, racism and xenophobia\nCase studies of conflict\, social exclusion\, discrimination\, racism and xenophobia\, and violence\nThe role of civic organisations and local government in promoting/hindering integration\nThe role of social clubs/sports clubs\n\n\nBuilt Environment\, Social and Art Practice \n\nTranscultural community formation and the built environment\nThe role of “small scale” local areas and buildings such as bus stops\, playgrounds\, corner shops\, cafés\, local libraries\nThe role of “large scale” areas and buildings such as parks\, squares\, schools\, shopping malls\, civic buildings\, monuments\nPractices of co-inhabitance/contact and segregation in the neighbourhood\nPerformance of age\, class\, gender\, race and sexuality in the neighbourhood\nCase studies and examples of transcultural art and performance practices in neighbourhoods\n\n\nLiterary and Filmic Representations of Transcultural Neighbourhoods \n\nClose readings of individual texts\, films\, works of photography that feature the transnational neighbourhood\nRepresentations of religion\, gender\, class and race\nAnalysis of a transnational “poetics” of place\n“Transcultural” literary and cinematographic techniques\nThe comparative analysis of literary texts that feature transnational neighbourhoods\nMulti-lingualism in literature and films\nTransgressive performances in literature and films\nRepresentation of the backlash against the transnational neighbourhood in films and literary texts.\n\n  \nPlease send an abstract of approx. 250 words and a short biographical note of about 50 words to: m.rocalizarazu@bham.ac.uk\, britta.jung@ucd.ie\, and stephan.ehrig@ucd.ie \nConference Organisers:\nProf. Anne Fuchs\, UCD Humanities Institute\, University College Dublin (anne.fuchs@ucd.ie)\nDr. Godela Weiss-Sussex\, IMLR\, University of London/King’s College Cambridge (godela.weiss-sussex@sas.ac.uk)\nDr. Britta C.

SUMMARY:Brixton Reel Film Premiere: Virginia Casta
DESCRIPTION:Virginia Casta \n\nA premiere of the Colombian romantic comedy film\, followed by Cuban and Salsa music. \nDirector: Claudio Cataño (Colombia) | Spanish with English subtitles. \nBased on a best selling Colombian novel Virginia Casta stars acclaimed actress Cristina Umaña who gives a darkly comic performance as a love damaged heroine. Devastated by her recent break up\, Virginia Casta attempts to jump from a balcony\, but far from ending her life\, she becomes an infamous social media personality. Between rock music\, tears and frenzy with a scruffy musician\, two dysfunctional friends and a pothead grandmother\, Virginia discovers the meaning of friendship and a way out from this mess. Until her ex shows up again! \nIn association with the Institute of Modern Languages Research (University of London) and the AHRC Open World Research Initiative project: Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community. \nPlease book in advance at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brixton-reel-virginia-casta-tickets-51547042592  \n\nAbout Brixton Reel Film Festival \nBrixton Reel is a pioneering mental wellbeing film festival set up to engage with hard to reach\, socially excluded and often lower income BAME communities. \nThe festival is run by film and diversity company ImagineAsia Ltd and led by the Brixton Reel Steering Group\, which is made up of a range of mental health service providers including Certitude\, Mosaic Clubhouse\, Teléfono de la Esperanza (TEUK) and Dragon Café\, among others. It includes mental health service users and people of diverse backgrounds. \nTeléfono de la Esperanza is a Migrant Health charity that offers a free comprehensive mental health service for the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking communities in London. \nSince 2015 Brixton Reel Film Festival has been working with TEUK-Voades and Southwark Council in the delivery of its health and wellbeing outreach events. Brixton Reel has developed a long-term relationship with TEUK which provides strong links with the Spanish-speaking Latin American communities in Southwark and Lambeth. \nThis year’s festival edition focuses on the seldom heard stories of mental wellbeing by BAME communities in London. Black Asian and Minority ethnic people’s stories are rarely told. This year Brixton Reel Film Festival is asking members from Black Asian and Minority ethnic communities (including the Latin American community) and LGBTQ+ people to tell their own stories on mental wellbeing. \nOWRI in partnership with TEUK-Voades will organise a workshop with young Latin Americans living in London to learn more about their views on mental health. The workshop aims to explore how cultural and linguistic differences (re)shape the way we speak about mental health. Their recorded testimonials will offer insight into the way culture and language shape our understanding of mental health. \nThe festival takes place on two dates this year with an early event on World Mental Health Day 10th October and the main festival taking place from 8th to 15th November. The festival will take place in Lambeth\, Southwark and Hackney. \n

SUMMARY:Language and Identity: Explorations Through Film
DESCRIPTION:The dynamic relationship between languages and the different community identities to which they are linked can be explored innovatively through film.  This event will showcase four short films made by former students of the University of Manchester’s Visual Anthropology MA programme\, who are now independent film makers. They address themes from the Manchester-led\, Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded ‘Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community’ research project which supported the films. Languages ranging from Arabic\, indigenous languages of Mexico and South Africa\, and ‘Spanglish’ are featured. \nTaking the form of a mini film festival with talks and discussion\, the event is aimed at all members of the general public interested in language\, identity and/or the short film documentary genre. \nAttendance FREE! but space limited. CLICK HERE TO BOOK

SUMMARY:Beyond Words: Multimodal Encounters in Translation
DESCRIPTION:Research into the theory and practice of translation has traditionally focused on the conversion of source texts into target texts. However\, during the past decade the rise and sprawl of digital media has ensured that interconnections between different visual\, aural\, and oral modalities have acquired much greater cultural prominence – a development that has destabilised certain time-honoured translation-theoretic paradigms. This shift has directed critical attention towards acts of translation involving more than one modality. Moving beyond text-to-text translation\, pioneering work by a number of scholars has begun to explore different kinds of text-to-music\, text-to-dance\, text-to-image\, dance-to-image\, music-to-dance\, dance-to-text\, and image-to-music transfers. While some of these approaches draw upon well-established traditions of ekphrasis and iconology that can be traced back through the centuries\, they also probe in new and provocative ways the limits of these activities. Indeed\, for some scholars the very term ‘translation’ has become an inadequate one for describing the full range of interactions involving the transfer of meaning from one modality to another. Therefore\, terms such as ‘transduction’\, ‘transaptation’\, ‘transformation’\, and ‘transcription’\, have sometimes been usefully repurposed. But how do these practices differ from each other\, and what are their distinctive respective characteristics? While this is still an inchoate field of enquiry\, it has already inspired ground-breaking analytical approaches that deserve careful scrutiny. A core purpose of this event is to bring together both those who produce multimodal ‘translations’ as well as those who theorise about them. By encouraging truly inter and trans-disciplinary dialogue\, this conference aspires to impact on research directions in the area of translation and multimodality. \nThe conference will take the form of a two-day event. Each of the eight main speakers will prepare a paper in advance\, and these will be distributed to all the registered delegates two weeks before the start of the event. Each speaker will have a 20-minute slot during the conference in which to give a short verbal summary of their paper\, followed by a further 25 minutes of questions from the attendees. In addition\, there will be two workshops that will showcase practical multimedia examples of multimodal translation in action. At the end of each day there will be a ‘Round Table’ discussion session\, chaired by one of the convenors\, that will provide an opportunity to explore in greater detail specific points of connection and disconnection between the presentations and workshops. \nPlease register in advance | Standard: £40 | Student/Unwaged: £20 \nClick here for programme information and booking.\nThe conference is part of the activities of the research group Cambridge Conversations in Translation\, based at the Centre for Research in the Arts\, Social Sciences\, and Humanities (CRASSH). The event is supported by CRASSH\, the Institute of Modern Languages Research (IMLR)\, and the Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community (CLDRC) OWRI project (Translingual Strand).

SUMMARY:Critical Reflections on Multilingual Research Practice
DESCRIPTION:Increasing numbers of researchers are engaging in studies involving complex contexts of ‘superdiversity’ and participants who have a broad range of linguistic repertoires and communication needs. Yet there are often limited opportunities for scholars to exchange knowledge and experience on key conceptual\, epistemological and methodological questions. \nThis event invites critical reflection on what it means to conduct research multilingually. It is anchored around examples of recent research projects that help to shed light on questions facing researchers interested in investigating the multilingual practices of others\, researchers who draw on their own multilingual capabilities as part of their research practice\, and the role of intermediaries in research such as translators and interpreters. \nThe event will be of particular interest to doctoral candidates and early career researchers working on areas in which multilingualism is prominent\, but also to more established researchers new to these areas. \nOrganised by Multilingual Manchester at the School of Arts\, Languages and Cultures at the University of Manchester. The event will take place on 3 July 2018\, 1-5pm\, in the Graduate School Training Room\, Ellen Wilkinson Building\, University of Manchester. \nCLICK HERE FOR FURTHER DETAILS AND BOOKING
