Symposium: Circulation of academic thought – Rethinking methods in the study of scientific translation
11-12 December 2015, University of Graz
This international research symposium aims to connect different strands of research dealing with translation in the sciences, social sciences and humanities. The focus will be on different methodological approaches chosen by individual researchers and implications of these approaches for understandings of translating science, the circulation of academic thought and social knowledge-making.
The symposium sets out to promote a cross-disciplinary debate and addresses translation of academic thought from a translation studies, historical, sociological or cultural studies perspective. It is at the same time a follow-up event to two international conferences at the Department of Translation Studies, University of Graz on the sociology of translation (2005 and 2012). The papers and discussions will be published by a renowned academic publisher or will appear as a special issue of an international translation studies journal.
