The first edition of the Lisbon Spring School in Translation Studies will take place in the Portuguese capital between 13 and 18 March 2023, aiming, above all, to open space for the sharing of ideas, methodologies and good practices about/in the field of Translation Studies (TE).

The breadth of the event's guiding topic - "Translation is a many-splendored thing" - was purposely defined: on the one hand, to do justice to the nature of TE as an interdiscipline; on the other, to encourage the participation of (and learn from) young researchers and students working on TE, regardless of the object of study, school of thought, language(s) and/or country of origin.

As an international event, Spring School will feature lectures by scholars affiliated to national and international institutions, paper presentation sessions (by PhD students and early career researchers), poster presentation sessions (by MA students) and workshops on translation, including also a cultural programme.

The event will take place at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa and the Universidade Nova de Lisboa.

Proposals should be sent to cecc@ucp.pt until 20 January 2023. 

For more information, please consult the call for papers.

Organized by the Research Centre for Communication and Culture, Faculty of Human Sciences, UCP, in cooperation with the project entitled "The Media System and Journalism Culture in Bulgaria (A Study in the Light of the Three Models of Media - Politics Relations by Hallin and Mancini)", developed under the supervision of Veliko Tarnovo University St. Cyril and St. Medhodius and financed by the Bulgarian National Science Fund - BNSF.

The concept "captured media" has been used to refer to media in countries that transitioned from authoritarian to democratic regimes at the end of the 20th century.  The conference will discuss the evolution of these "captured media" since the establishment of democracy and reflect on how journalistic and media institutions are co-managed by political and economic structures in countries without a robust tradition of freedom of press and fundamental rights of citizens.
