Scholars from a wide range of fields in the Humanities and Social Sciences, including Psychology, Sociology, Social and Technological Sciences, Anthropology, Visual and Performing Arts, Media, Museums, and Cultural Studies, to mention a few, are interested in the multifaceted phenomena of creativity.
Creativity, when viewed as our ability to use our own reflective imagination to create both corporeal and immaterial objects, gets at the very heart of translation.
The relationship between creativity and translation as well as the processes of linguistic, cultural, technological, social, and political mediation of creation have not been ignored by translation and intercultural studies.
The Translation and Interpreting Institute (TII) will host an interdisciplinary forum to commemorate its tenth anniversary. The forum will explore new intersections between translation and creativity as well as revisit established ones in our rapidly evolving global environment. It welcomes academics who put innovation and translation at the core of their work to share their expertise and experience across disciplines and practice contexts in the region and/or worldwide. The theorization of creativity across disciplines and practical contexts will receive particular attention, as well as the multilayered processes of mediation of creativity (interlinguistic, intersensory, intersemiotic, intertextual, multimodal, etc.)
