Investigating Other Cross-Cultural Paradigms

This seminar aims to bring together scholars with shared concerns ( mainly inter/cross-cultural pragmatics, translation studies, communication studies) with a focus on issues of representation across languages and cultures in a range of contexts (eg the press, television, cinema, the theatre, the internet), and a range of activities central to the sharing of information and knowledge in a global context: news transfer, multimedia/ screen translation, stage translation/adaptation and the provision of multilingual information generally.
