Our world is basically made up of words, the very essence of communication. These words find their way among us in one big conversation. In James W. Carey words: “Life is a conversation”.
This holds good even more so when it comes to conveying our thoughts across the borders of language, culture, country and profession. The conversation between individuals on different sides of these borders is enlarged by an instance of otherness while crossing into many instances of translation.
We invite you to discuss these topics in the following sections of the conference:
• Communication and Language Studies
• Literature and Cross-Cultural Studies
• Translation and Interpreting Studies
Keynote speakers:
Dr. Hermann Scheuringer, Universität Regensburg, Germany
Dr. Titela Vîlceanu, University of Craiova, Romania
