AIMS & SCOPE

Following the legacy of CISTI at GIIT, SISU, this Third Biennial Conference on Inter-disciplinarity in Translation and Interpreting (T&I) aims to provide a platform for professors, researchers and postgraduate scholars in Translation and Interpreting Studies (T&I) and the academic and professional actors of the major related fields in which interdisciplinary training and research is currently performed, such as:

  •  Economy
  •  Law
  •  Medicine
  •  Neuroscience
  •  Affective sciences, etc.

to present their research projects and exchange ideas with peers and senior colleagues. In line with our practice and research culture at SISU, this conference aims to foster collaboration and communication between researchers from different disciplines and encourage theoretical and methodological exchanges.

T&I has developed from poly-disciplinary origins into an inter-discipline, which is reflected in this year’s conference central theme: “Telescope or Periscope: An Interdisciplinary Look into the Future”.

It also features two dimensions, the time dimension extends from the early practical and theoretical approaches to present-day media and political discourses, and the geographic dimension traverses from Anglophone zones to other world language areas. In engaging the multitude objects of study with inter-disciplinary approaches, we aim to gain new insights into the study of products, processes, agents and social-cultural contexts of T&I, and also address some challenges faced by T&I investigations that share borders with various disciplines. Therefore, this conference aims at covering a range of current trends in T&I.
