CALL FOR PAPERS: Translation, Adaptation and Dramaturgy (TAD) Working Group, International Federation for Theatre Research (IFTR) conference IFTR 2020 Galway, Ireland, NUI Galway, 12-16 July 2021
Delegates are invited to resubmit their proposals for the 2020 conference (and can be assured that papers accepted for 2020 will be accepted for 2021), or to submit entirely new proposals.
In response to the theme of the Galway 2021 conference – ‘Theatre Ecologies: Environment, Sustainability and Politics’ – we propose the following combination of topics, partialy carried over from last year and enhanced for 2021:
The IFTR Translation, Adaptation and Dramaturgy (TAD) Working Group will be meeting at the IFTR conference in Galway, Ireland, 12-16 July 2021.
FORMAT OF CONFERENCE SESSIONS:
The co-conveners will arrange abstracts into panels grouped by connected topics. Papers (up to 3000 words) are pre-circulated four weeks before the conference, followed by brief (up to 10 minutes) verbal presentations at the conference to ensure time for discussion and exchange. We are open to proposals featuring other presentation formats that fit the allocated timeframe.
WG members currently have a book project underway on politics of translation adaptation and dramaturgy but are open to starting new collaborative projects too.
SUBMITTING YOUR ABSTRACT:
We welcome both existing and new WG members to submit papers on any aspect of translation, adaptation and dramaturgy. We are keen to hear from academics and researchers at all career stages and welcome attendees from diverse geographical locations. The WG aims to encourage lively and energized debates during the sessions and in this spirit, we also invite observers to attend and contribute to our discussions. The group is welcoming and inclusive and we will be organizing a social event for all of our WG members during the week of the conference.
Abstracts should be no more than 300 words and are due 31 January 2021.
