[Vera Mackie]

Call for papers
PORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies
 
Special Issue: The Space Between: Languages, Translations and Cultures.
 
We seek expressions of interest for a special journal issue focusing on the
Spaces Between Languages. We seek articles that explore how the space
between languages is experienced through translation and interpretation,
language learning and teaching, contact situations, code-switching,
bilingualism, and in literary and cultural production. We are also
interested in addressing these issues from the Spaces Between Disciplines,
which might include the spaces between linguistics, language and translation
studies, language pedagogy, cultural studies and postcolonial studies.
Possible approaches might refer to Homi Bhabha¹s notion of the Œthird
space¹, or Mary Louise Pratt¹s notion of Œtransculturation¹.
 
If you are interested in contributing to this special issue on ŒThe Space
Between: Languages, Translations and Cultures¹, please send an abstract (500
words) and a brief (one page) curriculum vitae to Emi Otsuji
<emi.otsuji at uts.edu.au> by 31 March 2008. Contributors who have been
notified of acceptance of abstracts will be asked to submit complete papers
by 31 July 2008. Papers should be up to 6,000 words in length (including
notes, references, tables or additional material) and should follow the
PORTAL style guide http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/portal and be
submitted directly into PORTAL via
