SCHOOL OF TRANSLATION – GLENDON COLLEGE, YORK UNIVERSITY
When: March 26 – 28, 2021
Where: York University, Toronto, Canada
Description: Into the second decade of the 21st century, technology continues to play an increasing role in translation processes and translator environments. What is translatable or not translatable through the mediation of machines is a central question heading into the era of neural translation and artificial intelligence. Conference attendees will be invited to consider whether the interaction of human and machine in present and future translation ecologies is a harbinger of an enlightened post-humanism or a problematic process that favours disembodied networks,
algorithmic decision-making and unsustainable growth in a time of runaway climate change and environmental degradation.
