So-called Journalistic Translation Research is an area illustrating to what extent the discipline of translation studies over the past decades has continually expanded to different types of transformation and transfer, be they interlingual, intralingual or intersemiotic. This presentation will expand on the highly multilingual contexts of journalistic production as well as the ubiquity, yet invisibility of several types of translation therein. In research this is also expressed through the coining of terms such as ‘transediting’ or ‘journalator’.

Luc van Doorsaler is Professor of Translation Studies at the University of Tartu and Vice President of EST, European Society for Translation Studies.

Everybody is welcome!
