The 6th International Maastricht-Lódz Duo Colloquium. Call for papers: Translation and Meaning 2015
The overall organisation of the International Maastricht-Lódz Duo Colloquiums is in the hands of the Maastricht School of Translation and Interpreting of Zuyd University of Applied Sciences (The Netherlands) and the Department of Translation Studies of the Institute of English Studies of the University of Lódz (Poland). The International Maastricht-Lódz Duo Colloquiums are organised every 5 years and consist of two parts in one and the same year:
(1) in Maastricht, the so-called Maastricht Session, and
(2) in Lódz, the so-called Lódz Session.
Both Sessions have their own organising committees. The chair of the Maastricht Organising Committee is Dr. Marcel Thelen and of the chair of the Lódz Organising Committee is Prof. Dr. Habil. Lukasz Bogucki.
Main theme for both Sessions: The overall aim of the International Maastricht-Lódz Duo Colloquiums is to provide an international forum for discussion between translation/interpreting theorists and practitioners on issues of meaning in translation and interpreting. The central theme for both the Maastricht and the Lódz Sessions is "Translation and Meaning".
In principle, the Maastricht Sessions will be geared towards practice, and will deal with practical aspects of the central theme and the various sub-themes, and the Lódz session will be geared towards theory, and will deal with theoretical aspects.
