calls for papers: The (Self)translation of Knowledge: Scholarship in Migration

 from History and Translation Network Newsletter

two of our members, Spencer Hawkins and Lavinia Heller, would like to announce two calls for papers: one for a special issue of the journal Target: International Journal of Translation Studies, titled “The (Self)translation of Knowledge: Scholarship in Migration”; and one for a panel of the same title at the 2022 conference of the European Society for Translation Studies in Oslo.

The call for the Special Issue can be found here:

And the call for the EST Conference panel at number 33 here:

The special issue and the panel build on recent work around the forced adoption of English and American academic culture by (primarily Jewish) scholars and intellectuals fleeing the Third Reich (https://forcedtranslation.uni-mainz.de/). This special issue (and the conference panel) is explicitly intended to broaden the scope to highlight configurations of interlingual migrant academic, i.e., humanistic production in the geographic contexts of South America, Africa, and Asia—as well as work on the relationship between the wealthy hubs of academic production and the “peripheries” (Canagarajah 2002) or “semi-peripheries” (Bennett 2014) of global academia.
