AUSIT SANT Presents:
Self-translation and Translingual Writing
Thursday 2 May 6:30 to 8:30 pm ACST
MCCSA, 113 Gilbert Street Adelaide SA.
Please register by 12 pm Wednesday 1 May 2024
There are those who have the option of writing in more than one language and translating themselves into different cultures and languages. What are the cultural and linguistic challenges associated with such a practice? Can the theory of translanguaging shed any light on this?
The historical and cultural context of an interchange between Chinese and Japanese linguistics through Li Kotomi’s practice offers a fascinating insight for those interested in translation and the subtleties of language(s) and culture(s). In our talk we will discuss three versions of Li’s novel Hitorimai in three languages to demonstrate how Li’s practice of self-translation and translanguaging muddles traditional boundaries between culture and language.

How to build a criminal law glossary for your working language: a practical workshop for interpreters
Webinar Via Zoom
Saturday 4 May 2024
3:00 pm - 5:00 pm AEST
Please register by 11:59pm Thursday 2 May 2024
A practical workshop designed for interpreters looking to create their own personalised criminal law glossary that will better prepare them for assignments in Australian criminal courts.
Interpreting in a courtroom setting can be very intimidating. Many interpreters avoid these kinds of assignments because they feel they can't handle the pressure. Some say they don't know enough legal jargon to really understand what's going on in court and accurately interpret what the judge and lawyers say. To make matters worse, the Australian legal system might be very different to the systems of other countries they are familiar with, and in criminal proceedings the stakes are high.
Join Carl in this interactive and hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to create your own criminal law glossary in your working language. Instead of going through every word from A to Z, Carl will show you how organising Australian criminal law concepts into specific categories can give you a bigger picture understanding of the legal system. By the end of the workshop, you'll have all the tools you need to build a comprehensive glossary on criminal law and walk into the courtroom to interpret with confidence.
What you'll get from this workshop:
