International Colloquium: Translation Studies and Geopolitics

Monday, April 20, 2015toTuesday, April 21, 2015

Languages have always been used to speak about ones enemies, but also with one’s enemies. We can see increasing politization of the actors, and the use of translation products and multilingual communication for political or ideological ends both in the field and in the virtual sphere.
