CALL FOR ABSTRACTS FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE (2027)
Call for Abstracts 2026-25-05 New Voices in Translation Studies Call for Contributions for the Special Issue of New Voices in Translation Studies 2027 (Volume 32, Issue 3) Translation & Paratranslation in the Digital Era Introduction New technologies arise every day, presenting unique and unexpected challenges. With many new products, the screen is the main focus of interest and interface for operation of and communication between devices and users. The expansion of multimodal digital communication questions traditional approaches to translation which have tended to foreground interlingual translation of the textual component, completely ignoring paratranslation and paratextuality as critical elements in the creation of the meaning (Yuste Frías & Ferreiro Vázquez, 2024). Paratextualities however can emerge in various formats. For the purposes of the Special Issue of New Voices in Translation Studies, we thus define paratranslation broadly, including, for example, the translation of paratexts in conventional literary contexts, but also extending the scope of this definition to include emerging multimodal practices associated specifically with the digital era and Web.3.0 technologies. Indeed, we welcome contributions which themselves broaden and deepen our understanding of the concept of paratranslation in the contemporary world, in whichever ways that they manifest. As there has been unprecedented diversification in in the tasks of multimodal translation, textual, paratextual and visual elements must be integrated in a cohesive way to create the intended meaning (Méndez González, 2020). Indeed, paratextuality and paratranslation in the broader sense offer much scope for creating meaning within multimodal communications. Such meaning-makings simultaneously generate the need for commensurate critical appraisal and interpretation of the processes involved. It is expected, for example, that professionals working in diverse spheres can appropriately deal with these new genres of texts, in order to satisfy consumer need in a more digital era The training needed for professionals to respond to such needs requires sophisticated and adaptable theorisation of translation and paratranslation. Early Career Researchers (ECR) are therefore warmly invited to submit their abstract for research articles on themes relating to translation and paratranslation in the digital era. Contributions dealing with accessibility; artificial intelligence; audiovisual translation and streaming platforms; digital marketing; literature; social networks; video games; virtual reality; webtoons or any other topic relevant to the new challenges and opportunities for translation, paratranslation and cultural adaptation in new media and for new consumers are all welcome. New Voices in Translation Studies is committed to publishing the work of new researchers, that is, researchers who have so far only three or less published items to their name. Please contact the Guest Editors if you are unsure about your eligibility. Book reviews of recently published academic works on paratranslation are very welcome. Rationale The tasks of translation and paratranslation for digital products are among the most relevant topics in academic research over the last decade. The concept and processes of localization, particularly with the rise of video games, have given rise to dynamic and creative industries which offer opportunities for translators and interpreters alike (González-Santamaría & Ferreiro Vázquez, 2023; Méndez González, 2022a). Paratranslation is however by no means restricted to the field of video games. Paratranslation is increasingly recognised as a process fundamental to working with the multimodality of using several semiotic codes (Tejera Botella & Méndez González, 2020). The non-digital aspects of paratranslation also still loom large. The notion of paratranslation is thus not limited to the covers of a texts, digital or otherwise; it involves every aspect that surrounds, accompanies, and has an influence on the mediation of meaning, be it in the understanding or creation of a translated text (Batchelor, 2018; Schurster & Ferreiro-Vázquez, 2025; Yuste Frías & Ferreiro-Vázquez, 2025). Different studies have focused on different aspects of paratranslaton: a specific facet of a process (Khodorenko, 2025; Mejías Climent, 2022; Méndez González, 2022b) or the use of tools (Méndez González, 2022c; Calvo-Ferrer & Torres-Outón, 2023; Cuevas Montero and Policastro Ponce, 2025; Dumas, 2018; Hăisan, 2017; Kostopoulou, 2015). Other scholars analyse or utilise the concept of paratranslation in specific intercultural contexts (Abou Rached, 2021; Yuste Frías & Garrido Vilariño, 2022; Akdağ, 2021; Pellatt, 2015). The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically Large Language Models (LLM) has given rise to language being configured as sets of data, with the risk of cross-language meaning-making potentially losing part of its meaning or broader context. In that respect, research on paratranslation can highlight paratextual elements of cross-languaging that AI cannot adequately process (Schurster & Ferreiro-Vázquez, 2024). This special issue aims to delve deeply into the role of translation and paratranslation in different communicative contexts and in different types of products of the digital era, in order to continue raising awareness about the relevance of paratranslation in the modern world. List of Topic Areas Translation, paratranslation and interpreting in the digital era. Translation and paratranslation as key aspects of cultural adaptation of any product to make it appropriate for a new market. Paratranslation of multimodal products that communicate their message through the combination of texts, paratexts, visual elements and even sensitive channels (such as a controller in video games). The process of working with digital products that offer new types of experiences to consumers (video games, cinema, literature, virtual realities, etc.). Analysing paratextual elements as key parts of the creation and understanding of the meaning in the translation processes.

Translating Resistance: Literary Activism in Conflict and Solidarity
Translating Resistance: Literary Activism in Conflict and Solidarity Hosted by the Translation Research & Instruction Program (TRIP) at Binghamton University (SUNY), New York October 3–4, 2026 Funded by The International Association for Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS) Regional Workshop Fund Confirmed Plenary Speakers: ▪ Professor Samah Selim (Rutgers University, USA) ▪ Dr. Ruth Abou Rached (University of Manchester, UK) Call for Papers Scholars, researchers, and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this two-day workshop, hosted by Binghamton University (SUNY), to be held in New York on October 3–4, 2026. All submitted abstracts will undergo a peer-review process, and acceptance will be based on scholarly quality and relevance to the workshop theme. Abstract Submission Deadline: April 30, 2026 Translation is never neutral; it frames, amplifies, and contests narratives, particularly in contexts of conflict and solidarity (Baker, 2006; Venuti, 2013). While a substantial body of work has examined translation and interpreting in war, crisis, and diplomacy (Salama‑Carr, 2007; Inghilleri & Harding, 2010; Pérez‑González, 2012; Ayyad, 2025; Todorova & Ruiz Rosendo, 2025), the activist functions of literary translation remain comparatively under-examined. Recent scholarship argues for clarifying the contours of literary translation activism (LTA) and mapping its practices and ethics (Washbourne, 2024). In activist settings, literary translation can document testimony, reframe public discourse and enable transnational solidarities. Solidarity itself is forged in struggle and actively connects places and communities (Featherstone, 2012). Volunteer subtitling and grassroots circulation illustrate how digital infrastructures mediate activist texts (Díaz Cintas & Muñoz Sánchez, 2006; Pérez‑González, 2014). This workshop addresses this gap by bringing scholars, practitioners, and activists together to theorize and exemplify literary translation as a form of activism and solidarity—both within conflict zones and through acts of transnational solidarity from afar. While the workshop is anchored in the Middle East, with particular attention to conflict-affected contexts such as Palestine, Yemen, Sudan, and Syria, it also welcomes contributions that enable comparative reflection across other regions, including Ukraine, Myanmar, and Latin America. Key sessions will examine the socio-political and material conditions shaping literary translation in contexts of conflict, including questions of visibility, ideological contestation, publishing infrastructures, and solidarity networks. We invite scholars, practitioners, and activists with experience in literary activism in contexts of conflict and solidarity to submit abstracts addressing one or more of the following themes: ▪ Literary translation in/around conflict zones (poetry, fiction, drama, life writing): political/material constraints; situated case studies (e.g., Palestine, Yemen, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Myanmar, Latin America). ▪ Solidarity-driven literary translation: poetry, fiction, and theatre; readings or performances; community-based and independent publishing practices. ▪ Translators as activists: agency, ethics, and risk, including questions of visibility and anonymity, security, censorship, and paratextual strategies. ▪ Retranslation as political intervention: feminist, gender-aware, and decolonial retranslations; reclaiming suppressed or marginalized meanings. ▪ Digital circulation and activist infrastructures: volunteer subtitling, social media dissemination, metadata and hashtag politics, and grassroots archiving. ▪ Form and political possibility: why certain literary forms—such as poetry, testimony, and experimental prose—travel as modes of resistance. ▪ Representation and voice: selection biases and gatekeeping practices, avoiding exoticization, and collaborative translation to mitigate appropriation. Proposals should be submitted by April 30, 2026, via the Google Form We look forward to receiving your contributions! Further information about the workshop, including registration and the workshop website, will be shared soon. Important Dates: • Accepted abstracts will be confirmed by May 15, 2026 • Registration opens May 15, 2026 and closes June 15, 2026 • The draft program will be available from June 15, 2026 Registration Fees(In-person attendance, including morning & afternoon sessions + coffee breaks): ▪ Full registration: $50 USD ▪ Discounted registration (student/unwaged): $20 USD A limited number of micro‑grants are available for precarious or Global South presenters (for travel or registration support).

New Voices in Translation Studies Call for Contributions for the Special Issue of New Voices in Translation Studies 2026 (Volume 31, Issue 3) Translation as Resistance, Resilience and Activism: Voices from Palestine and Beyond Introduction Translation as Resistance, Resilience and Activism: Voices from Palestine and Beyond is a Special Issue that delves into the confluence of translation, conflict and activism while underscoring the critical role that translation plays in resisting dominant ideologies, fostering global solidarity and amplifying marginalized voices in contexts of Palestine and beyond. Seeking to synthesize insights from diverse disciplines, this Special Issue aims at emphasizing the transformative power which translation and interpreting can exert in shaping narratives of resistance, resilience and solidarity. Contributors are invited to tackle a vast array of mediums, including religious-political documents, poetry, resistance songs, literature, diaries and digital platforms, with the view of unveiling the activist dimensions of translation. They will ideally investigate themes such as the sociopolitical dynamics of translating during conflicts, the preservation of indigenous narratives and the ethical complexities translators face when navigating colonial and geopolitical tensions. The Special Issue welcomes articles that propose actionable frameworks using emerging technologies and formats. Book reviews of academic works on Palestine recently published are also very welcome. Rationale Activism and Translation are at the core of recent research. Malaka Shwaikh (2020) wrote on the Gaza Strip has highlighted how speaking a different language in a war-zone emphasised the power of witness and the importance of translating the voices of the oppressed. Mona Baker pioneered the movement of translators’ activism in the Arabic-speaking region through many seminal publications (2006, 2020 et al). Others have drawn critical attention to the social and political weight translation can exert on reshaping the worldviews. While the ‘activist turn’ of translation has been a key area of research for decades (Wolf, 2012) we are interested to know: where is ‘the activist turn’ relating to translation and Palestine now? What is translated? By whom? Via which formats? How do qualitative changes in Arabic and other languages due to globalization and technology (O'Brien, 2011; O'Hagan, 2011; Brabham, 2013; Jiménez-Crespo, 2017; Daoudi, 2017; Krimat, 2021) impact on narratives of resistance, resilience and activisms on Palestine and beyond? This special issue title ‘Translation as Resistance, Resilience and Activism: Voices from Palestine and Beyond’ aims to delve into the multifaceted role of translation, including activist translation and interpreting, activities fostering resilience and resistance for justice and survival. List of Topic Areas Translation as Political Activism: The use of translation to challenge dominant state narratives and advocate for marginalized perspectives in conflict zones. Translation as means for resistance, advocacy and amplification of silenced voices. Solidarity and Indigeneity: Translating indigenous and resistance narratives to foster global solidarity. Highlighting the shared struggles of Palestinians and other indigenous communities through mediums like songs, poetry, literature and other creative expressions Decolonization and Postcolonial Perspectives The role of translation in decolonizing narratives, (Arabic and other languages) Ethical considerations in preserving the cultural and political integrity of texts. Innovative Technologies in Activist Translation: The integration of AI and Web 3.0 in humanitarian translation to address challenges like censorship, scalability and transparency. The evolving role of technology in fostering global activism and solidarity, especially within contexts of Palestine. Cultural Preservation and Literary Translation: Translating literature and poetry to maintain cultural identity and address geopolitical tensions. Strategies for activist translation that avoid neutrality and inspire action. Ethics and Ideology in Translation: Ethical dilemmas and ideological pressures in translating texts during conflicts. Translators’ choices and their impact on narratives of resistance and liberation.
