Encounters in Translation

Aims & Scope

Encounters in Translation is an interdisciplinary, Diamond Open Access (free of charge to authors and readers) and double-blind peer-reviewed journal. It is aimed at scholars from a variety of disciplines who place translation at the heart of their work. Conceived as a space of reflection on the critical significance of translation, it interrogates the processes of mediation and refraction of linguistic, cultural and power differentials at play in knowledge production and circulation. Encounters goes beyond the common perception of translation as source-target transfer, understanding translation instead as both a historical and a contemporary practice, and as a transdisciplinary object of enquiry encompassing highly interconnected, diverse and elusive processes of mediation. Operating an open, multilingual, and community-supported translation policy, the journal promotes translation as an emerging paradigm in open science that can contribute to contesting the uncritical use of machine- and AI-generated translation, and its linguistic, cultural and epistemological ramifications. Papers may be submitted in French or English. Submissions in other languages may also be entertained, subject to confirmation by the editors. Papers may be submitted as a contribution to a regular or special issue.
