We are...
Translation
researchers from a wide range of mediated-communication disciplines
and engage in an intensive, academically creative discourse on
difficult, translation-relevant problems either within the framework
of a doctoral thesis (PhD) or with a view to elaborating viable and
innovative attempts at solutions. We operate on three levels: - The
Doctoral College MuTra
takes difficult, highly complex problems of mediated communication as
its starting point. Solutions
for such problems usually cut across several academic disciplines
affecting a diverse range of translation areas (including
audiodescription, (live) subtitling and/or written interpretation)
and involve a mutual exchange by international actors from the public
and private sectors. Bilingual German-English weekly and/or intensive
seminars, individual coaching and/or practical workshops and guest
lectures by well-known experts equip participants with in-depth
knowledge in the fields of planning theory and methodology.
- The operational unit for handling this interchange and cross-fertilization is the Advanced
Translation Research Center (ATRC)
with its offers of complementary practical Translation workshops and other events. It is integrated into Saarland University’s Graduate Center GradUS.
- The
Translation Concepts Network encourages the exchange
and dissemination of new developments within Translation concepts
and events as part of a common Translation framework of conceptual
thought and research principles.
