Conference for the 60th Anniversary of META – 1955-2015
Translation's horizons: back to the future
August 19-21, 2015 – Université de Montréal
Department of Linguistics and Translation
The Translators' Journal, META, was born 60 years ago under the aegis of Université de Montréal’s former translation students. To celebrate this anniversary, we cannot attempt a thorough review, given how much the field, or rather the discipline, has grown. We can, however, allow ourselves to identify its major milestones, its key concepts, its essential approaches, and its most significant authors, all of which have broadened its horizons and paved its way to the future.
META invites you to go back to the future of translation studies – in August 2015, in Montreal, in the middle of summer celebrations – during this meeting of translators, terminologists, writers, lexicographers, and linguists. There is no use in delineating axes, sub-domains, or topics. We invite you to travel far and wide: back to the future.
