Schematically, translation studies acknowledges that a text can be
translated from one language into another but tends to see source and
target texts as stable entities, while in textual scholarship, texts are
understood to take many forms, but the different textual manifestations
are usually studied only within one language.

In recent years, however, we have seen interdisciplinary approaches that
go beyond the source text–target text pair in the case of translation
studies and cross linguistic borders when it comes to textual
scholarship. For example, thematic journal issues have explored
multilingualism and translation from the point of view of textual
scholarship (Dillen, Macé, and van Hulle eds. 2012), combined genetic
criticism with translation (Durand-Bogaert ed. 2014), and laid out the
foundations for genetic translation studies (Cordingley and Montini eds.
2015). Translation can also be seen as a means for bringing out
different interpretations of a text and as an intertwined part of
writing (Reynolds ed. 2019). Similarly, studies on closely related
themes, such as multilingual writing, self-translation, collaborative
translation, retranslation, indirect translation, pseudotranslation,
backtranslation, and adaptation, may equally provide insights into the
complex geneses and networks of dependence that lie behind texts that
have manifestations in several languages (Gambier 1994; Bistué 2013).
Studies on these kinds of themes often draw on archival resources, as
archival material can provide information on translating, translations,
and translators (Kujamäki 2018; Cordingley and Hersant eds. 2021).

Interdisciplinary studies that put translation studies and textual
scholarship (as well as neighboring fields such as literary studies and
book history) into dialogue bring to the fore questions of /text/,
/transmission/ and /translation/ – that is, they address /trextuality/
by discussing how /texts/ take different forms through /transmission/
and by highlighting the role of /translation/ in it. To foster such
interdisciplinary dialogue, this conference invites proposals on topics
that engage with the concepts of text, transmission, and/or translation,
as well as proposals that address the potential of archival resources in
the study of these and related themes. Potential topics for proposals
include but are not limited to:

- textual scholarship and scholarly editing of translated and
multilingual texts, translations of critical editions;
-textual critics as translators, translators as textual critics;
- genetic translation studies;
- multilingual writing, self-translation, collaborative translation,
editorial processes of translation;
- retranslation, indirect translation, pseudotranslation,
backtranslation, adaptation;
- diachronic and synchronic perspectives on text, transmission, and/or
translation;
- translator and author archives, manuscript studies;
- textual theory, questions of multimodality, materiality, digital texts;
- theoretical and methodological reflections on interdisciplinary
studies relating to trextuality.

        Subject: Reminder: Registration is Open. Online Course: Beyond Encoding (Texas A&M)

Dear all,

This is a reminder that the Center of Digital Humanities Research at
Texas A&M University is offering a remote course this spring,
"Beyond Encoding: Refining and Launching Text-Based Digital Humanities
Projects", through our continuing education program
Programming4Humanists.

Registration is open! Additional information is below. Please
visit our website (http://programming4humanists.tamu.edu) for more
details, or visit our online store to register
(https://tamu.estore.flywire.com/products?storeCatalog=1102).

Please contact us at codhr@tamu.edu with any questions.

Beyond Encoding: Refining and Launching Text-Based Digital Humanities Projects

This intermediate-level course is designed to build upon the basics of
XML encoding courses, for the purposes of building text-based digital
humanities projects. It serves as an expansion for the
Programming4Humanists course Digital Editions from Start to Finish,
though anyone familiar with TEI/XML encoding and looking to refine
their projects will benefit. The course focuses on a variety of skills
necessary to run a digital humanities project and work with the data
it produces. Rather than guiding participants toward a set final
project, this course offers an intermediate-level toolkit of skills
with optional one-on-one project consultations twice during the
semester.

Topics to be covered include both project development (project
management and sustainability, goal setting, content management,
documentation, peer review, etc.) and technical skills to further
develop XML-based projects (regex, git, schema development, XSLT, XML
Databases, and XQuery).

This course will run from February 10 to April 28, 2023 and meet every
Friday from 10:00
AM to 12:00 PM (CST) through Zoom. All class sessions will be recorded
and posted for participants whose schedules conflict with the live
meeting time.
