PANEL PROPOSAL (panel 18): call for papers – Towards sustainable wayfaring: investigating the (un)translatability of eco-translation

The 8th IATIS Conference, Sustainable Translation in the Age of Knowledge Extraction, Generation, and (Re)Creation, invites scholars to explore the (un)translatability of eco-translation. Panel 18, Towards Sustainable Wayfaring, calls for papers that examine eco-translation as a comprehensive concept threatened by monoglossic and instrumentalist approaches.

Key topics include the philosophical foundations of eco-translation, its interpretations across languages, and its intersections with ecosemiotics, contra-instrumentalism, and biosemiotics. Comparative studies on anthropocentric vs. eco-centric translations, translator training, and pricing models are also welcome.

The full call can be found here in English, here in French.
