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. CLICK HERE TO BOOK. \nCLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIGITAL MODERN LANGUAGES SERIES \nThis series is part of the AHRC-funded Open World Research Initiative\, and is supported by OWRI projects Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community and Language Acts and Worldmaking projects\, and by the AHRC Leadership Fellow for Modern Languages (Janice Carruthers). 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. Please book via this link if you would like to attend.

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. No previous experience of computer-assisted methods is required. \nVenue: Swansea University\, Keir Hardie Building 149\, College of Arts and Humanities\, Sketty SA2 8PP \nCLICK HERE FOR BOOKING AND PROGRAMME INFORMATION

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.

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: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

SUMMARY:Surrealism and music in France\, 1924-1952: Alexander Soares Recital
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a piano recital of relevant French repertoire by the outstanding young pianist Alexander Soares. \nPraised as a pianist of “huge intensity” (The Telegraph)\, Alexander Soares is developing a reputation as an artist of formidable technique and virtuosity\, with performances of “diamond clarity and authority” (BBC Radio 3 ‘In Tune’). In 2015\, his performance in the BBCSO / BBC Radio 3 ‘Boulez at 90’ celebrations received widespread critical acclaim in the press\, described as a “brilliantly unbuttoned account” (The Sunday Times) and “most memorable of all” (The Financial Times). \nContemporary French repertoire forms a major part of Alexander’s programming. Since a U.K. premiére of Tristan Murail’s work in the BBCSO Total Immersion series\, he has performed this repertoire in his debut recitals in the Royal Festival Hall\, the Purcell Room\, and the Bridgewater Hall. In 2014\, he collaborated with Diego Masson performing Messiaen’s Des Canyons aux Étoiles in Milton Court Concert Hall. The following year\, he performed Boulez’s Dérive with David Corkhill in LSO St. Luke’s.

SUMMARY:Surrealism and music in France\, 1924-1952: interdisciplinary and international contexts
DESCRIPTION:Paris was the principal centre of surrealist activity and the focus of connections between surrealist literature\, ethnology\, sociology\, visual arts and music. The links between surrealism and the emerging disciplines of ethnology and ethnomusicology redefined the concept of exoticism in France and were the subject of a good deal of polemical debate. However\, connections between surrealism and music have been little explored\, although it is clear the movement had a decisive influence on major French composers such as Pierre Boulez\, Olivier Messiaen and André Jolivet. This conference initiates a transdisciplinary and international dialogue and will situate music at the heart of these debates. \nPlease register in advance | Standard: £25 | Student/Unwaged: £15 \nThe event will end with a piano recital of relevant French repertoire by the outstanding young pianist Alexander Soares\, included in the registration fee.

SUMMARY:Iberian Sound Cultures
DESCRIPTION:Recent years have seen a growing interest in ‘sound studies’\, a field of study that addresses the role of the auditory in culture and society. This one-day symposium seeks to establish a dialogue between sound studies and Iberian cultural studies. It intends to examine the place of sound both across a range of Iberian contexts (architecture\, geography\, acoustic environments) and media (sound technologies and sound art\, music and film\, for instance). \nUsing the auditory as a critical starting point\, the workshop seeks to address the following questions: How does sound inform our understanding of Spanish and Portuguese history — and in particular\, their long and fraught road towards modernization? How might the categories of noise and silence\, for instance\, enable us to illuminate more fully historical junctures of crisis and contradiction within the Iberian peninsula? How might attendant changes in technology and culture be understood\, or indeed rethought\, through sound? \nThis symposium invites scholars working across a diverse range of disciplines and media to rethink the place of sound in Iberian cultures. \nConfirmed speakers: Keynote: Kathleen M Vernon\, (Stony Brook University)\nIan Biddle (Newcastle)\, Richard Elliott (Newcastle)\, Sally Faulkner (Exeter)\, Samuel Llano (Manchester)\, Eva Moreda (Glasgow)\, Sarah Wright (RHUL)\, João Silva (Universidade Nova de Lisboa)\, Tom Whittaker (Warwick) \nEvent organisers: Tom Whittaker (Warwick) and Samuel Llano (Manchester) \nFree event: all welcome.

SUMMARY:Embodied Encounters and the Senses in Modern Languages
DESCRIPTION:This half-day workshop will explore research across languages as an embodied\, sensory process. Scholars working with film\, literature and participatory methods will focus particularly on questions of positionality and the role the senses play in the experience of the languages\, cultures and objects we research. We will explore the opportunities and challenges of carrying out projects and sharing findings with an ethnographically-informed attention to the self and the senses. \nSpeakers:\nMaria Roca Lizarazu (IMLR/Warwick)\nLinde Luijnenburg (Warwick)\nDenise Kwan (Westminster)\nNaomi Wells (IMLR) \nThe workshop is free\, but with limited places.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Jewish Women’s Writing in Germany and Austria – A ‘Minor’ Literature?
DESCRIPTION:This one-day workshop aims to probe whether the label and concept of a ‘minor literature’ (Deleuze/Guattari\, 1975) can be usefully applied to contemporary writing by female Jewish authors in Germany and Austria. The workshop will explore what the term ‘minor’ could mean and contribute when discussing a broad range of contemporary authors and their aesthetics and writing practices\, images of the self/the other inside and outside of their works\, forms of community building\, and their relationship with the broader literary field (i.e. the literary market). \nThis event includes a reading by Mirna Funk. The award-winning German-Jewish author will read from her novel “Winternähe” (2015). The novel was awarded the “Uwe Johnson prize” for emerging writers and nominated for the “aspekte literature prize”\, the “Klaus Michael Kühne prize” and the “Ulla Hahn prize” for “best debut novel”. Mirna Funk\, who is also known for her high-profile journalism on themes related to cultures of remembrance and Jewish culture in contemporary Germany\, will read in German. The discussion will be conducted in German and English. \nProgramme \nThe event is supported by the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Women’s Writing (CCWW). \n\nAdvanced Registration required. £15 standard │£10 students | Book here>>

SUMMARY:A New Language - a new life? Translingual literature by contemporary women writers
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will bring together scholars working on translingual women’s writing in the language fields of Italian\, French and German. We will explore the particular richness of texts produced by writers in languages that are not their mother tongues. Among the questions we will explore are the following: \n• Is translingual writing perceived by the authors in question as a liberation and a new beginning\, or as a requirement demanded by the literary market?\n• How does the particular attention to language required in translingual writing affect the text?\n• What are the distinctive literary and linguistic strategies employed in translingual writing?\n• Does writing in a foreign tongue go hand in hand with establishing a new identity?\n• What can translingual writing achieve that goes beyond the possibilities of texts produced by mother-tongue writers? \nThe symposium is conceived as a springboard for a larger international conference on women’s translingual writing\, which is being planned for 2019. It is part of the AHRC-funded Open World Research Initiative project ‘Cross-Language Dynamics – Reshaping Communities’\, generously supported by the Cassal Trust Fund and co-organised with the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Women’s Writing (CCWW). \nProgramme\n14.00 Welcome\n14.10 Anne Fleig (FU Berlin): New Language and Female Voice – Heteroglossia in the Writings of Özdamar and Tawada;\nMaria Cristina Seccia (Hull): Translingualism as Reparation in Shirin Ramzanali Fazel’s Nuvole sull’Equatore\nLoredana Polezzi (Cardiff): Sharing Spaces\, Translating Voices – Shirin Ramzanali Fazel and Compagnia delle Poete\n15.40 Tea / Coffee\n16.10 Godela Weiss-Sussex (IMLR\, London): Translingual Creativity and Belonging in Katja Petrowskaja’s Vielleicht Esther (2014)\nMary Gallagher (University College Dublin): Nancy Huston on Othering the Mother-Tongue\nAnna-Louise Milne (University of London Institute in Paris): Plural Subjectivities\, or ‘Writing With’ \nBook now >>\n\nThis event is generously supported by the Cassal Trust Fund.
