  Risk and History: How to assess international historical research activities?

  XXII Congress of international committee of historical sciences – RT 6

  The concept of “risk”—especially as developed by sociologists Ulrich Beck, Anthony Giddens and Robert Castel, anthropologist Mary Douglas, andpolitical philosopher François Ewald—has been at the heart of numerous scholarly debates for more than two decades. Recently, the concept has attracted the attention of a growing number of individual historians from around the world, although this phenomenon has received little attention from the international historical community. This call for applications therefore aims to recruit researchers whose areas of specialization cover the various uses of risk in history, and who will be responsible for discussing a written assessment of the relevant international historical research and the outlook for related scholarly debates.

  Translation History Matters

  1st East and West Conference on Translation Studies

  This conference aims to provide a biannual forum for East and West dialogue on Translation Studies.  This inaugural edition will be dedicated to “Translation History Matters” and welcomes contributions addressing issues related (though not circumscribed) to translation history, historiography and metahistoriography. Centred on translation understood as an intentional phenomenon of human and mostly intercultural communication, this conference aims to focus on the role played by translation in Eastern and Western cultural practices and encounters through history as well as on the role of history to understand both translation and translation studies.  By bringing together Eastern and Western views on a multitude of translation history matters, this conference aims to stress why, how and for which purposes translation history matters.
