Themed Translation, Identity and Heterogeneity, the conference will take "on a special urgency today because communication, language, and translation have found new frames of reference in a post-modern world characterized by globalization, immigration, and localization."  Among other topics the conference will cover a variety of translation-related subjects including translation and minority languages, translation and the emergence of new languages, translation and boundaries, translation and inner cultural space, translation and cultural mediation, translation and the politics of language.
