CALL FOR PAPERS‍

Special Issue.

"Translating Otherness: Challenges, Theories, and Practices"

A special issue of Languages (ISSN 2226-471X)

We welcome contributions that explore issues, concerns, and dilemmas in the translation of the Other from various scholarly perspectives. Translation studies are informed mostly by linguistics, literature, and psychoanalysis. Similarly, studies on Otherness tend to be interdisciplinary, being enriched mostly by discussions from critical discourse analysis, rhetoric, anthropology, and philosophy. Thus, this Special Issue aims to collect original and innovative studies that articulate theories and practices from interdisciplinary approaches in order to understand how Otherness travels and is translated into other languages and contexts.

Deadline for Abstracts: 31 January 2023

Abstract acceptance: 28 February 2023

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 May 2023
