Keynote speakers:

Piotr Blumczynski (Queen’s University Belfast, UK)
The Anderson Centre for Translation Research and Practice at the
University of Galway, Ireland,is delighted to announce the 2nd
Trextuality Conference, scheduled on September 4-6, 2025. Following
the success of the inaugural conference at the University of Turku
(Finland) in September 2023, titled “Interdisciplinary Approaches to
Translated and Multilingual Texts,” this second edition will focus on
the theme “Material Turns in Translation: Intermediality and Circulation.”
The concept of ‘trextuality’ brings together the perspectives of /text/,
/transmission/ and /translation/. This second dedicated conference aims
to deepen the discussion on how today’s media hybridity influences both
the products and processes of translation, examining the ways in which
the convergence of different media forms reshapes translated texts. This
includes exploring how combining text, sound, image, and interactive
elements affects the creation, interpretation, circulation, and
reception of translations. We also seek to understand how these hybrid
forms challenge traditional notions of translation, requiring new
approaches and methodologies that reflect the complexities of multimodal
and cross-media environments. By investigating these dynamics, we hope
to cast a shining light on the evolving role of the translator in
navigating and negotiating the intersections between diverse media
platforms and cultural contexts.
More specifically, we invite scholars to reflect on the intersection
between translation, mediality, technicity (Littau 2011, 2016), and
performativity (Bennett 2018, 2022) and to delve into the media, modes,
and modalities of translation (Elleström 2010/2021 and 2023; Bruhn
2021). The framework proposed by late media scholar Lars Elleström
explores how translation is not merely a linguistic process but a
multimodal and intermedial phenomenon. He argues that translation
involves a complex dynamics between various media (such as text, sound,
and image), modes (e.g., argumentative, narrative, or descriptive
styles), and modalities (e.g., sensory channels or cognitive perceptions).
Recent work in translation studies drawing on Karin Littau’s and the
Linnaeus School of Intermediality’s influential scholarship has
emphasized the importance of understanding how these elements interact
and shape the translation process (O’Connor 2021; Blumczynski 2023;
Tanasescu 2024; Vidal Claramonte 2024), impacting not only the meaning
conveyed (Haapaniemi 2024) but also the way it is perceived and
understood across different cultural and technological contexts
(Robert-Foley 2024). We encourage scholars to examine these complex
relationships and delve into how translation functions across different
media and how it adapts to the specificities of each modality and mode
involved (Cronin 2017; Grass 2023; Campbell & Vidal 2024). This approach
asks for a broader consideration of translation, seeing it as a dynamic
process that goes beyond the transfer of words between languages to
include the transference of cultural, social, sensory, and technological
experiences.
Conference Themes:
We warmly encourage contributions that engage with the following topics:
Hybridity in translation (intermedial translation)(analysis of
hybrid forms of translation across different media, including print,
digital, and audiovisual formats);
Translation across transmedial cultures (rendering content,
narratives, or ideas across different forms of media, such as from
literature to film, video games, art, or digital platforms);
Multimodal translation practices (exploring how translation
intersects with various modes of communication—text, image, sound,
and gesture);
Translation studies and textual scholarship(exploring the
theoretical, methodological and practical intersections between
various disciplines);
Historical perspectives on translation materiality (investigation
of printed traditions, manuscript cultures, and their impact on the
translation process);
Circulation of translated texts (investigating the ways translated
works move across borders, both geographically and culturally, and
the socio-cultural implications of these movements);
Translation and infrastructure(examining infrastructures for and
of translation as well as translation as infrastructure);
Digital and postdigital translation (studying the impact of
digital technologies, including artificial intelligence and machine
translation, on translation products and practices, including
issues of accessibility, interactivity, and media convergence);
Eco-translation and environmental media(exploring how translation
studies engage with inter-species translation, environmental
discourses, green media, and sustainability narratives across
different cultures and languages);
Translation and sensory experience(investigating how translation
mediates sensory experiences, such as taste, touch, and smell, in
addition to the more traditional senses of sight and sound);
Embodiment and translation(investigating how bodily experiences
and corporeal movements influence translation, particularly in
performance arts, dance, and embodied literatures);
Translation and memory(exploring the role of translation in
preserving, transforming, or erasing cultural and material memory
across generations and within diasporic communities);
Translation and participatory culture(investigating how
translation practices intersect with participation, where users
actively contribute to content creation and dissemination across
media platforms);
Visual and spatial translation(exploring how visual art,
architecture, and spatial design are translated across cultural and
media boundaries).
We welcome submissions from both emerging and established scholars
across various disciplines. Contributions may employ traditional methods
or innovative, mixed-method approaches, reflecting the evolving nature
and interdisciplinarity of the translation studies field.
