12 January - 30 March 2009
This an exciting new course on software and games localisation developed in collaboration with the Humanities Department at Imperial College London, to be delivered by e-learning spanning a total of 11 weeks.
The course was written by a practising software localiser with many years experience in the localisation industry and adopts proven e-learning teaching methods.

The course material is accessible online, and tools, such as a discussion forum, will be available to facilitate communication using the platform WebCT/Blackboard (used widely through Imperial College London to facilitate online learning resources).

Event Details: Literature, Geography, Translation: The New Comparative Horizons
Comparative literature is currently undergoing critical changes. Transnational and global paradigms of study are emerging to supplant the disciplines earlier Eurocentric framework; circulation, translation, postcolonialism and world literature have become the focus of overlapping debates which expand the horizon of literary studies. The complexity of these theoretical and methodological developments should not be underestimated, however. While the globe may be an enticing frame of reference, no one, as Gayatri Spivak reminds us, actually lives there. Or, as Franco Moretti argues, the concept of world literature may have have been with us for two centuries, but we still dont know what it is. The warp and weft of literature as it is written, read, distributed and translated remains the historically dense and often discordant experiences of language, places, intellectual networks, and economic and political inequities. It is, perhaps, only by continually engaging this tangle of specificities that the call for global literary studies will prevail. The Departments of Literature and English at Uppsala University, in collaboration with the University of Oslo, will host a conference in Uppsala, Sweden, on 11-13 June 2009 on this theme. Papers should address, mutatis mutandis, each of the terms literature, geography and translation within a transnational frame. Possible panels may include:
Notions of world literature from Goethe to Moretti, Casanova and Damrosch
Postcolonial translation
Geographies of literary translation
Histories of literary translation
Transnational literary networks
Literature and the circulation of print
The local, the national and the global in literary historiography
Translating genres
Place, space and geography in literature
Translingual aesthetics
Confirmed keynote speakers at the conference will be Susan Bassnett (Warwick), Wai Chee Dimock (Yale), Isabel Hofmeyr (Witwatersrand) and Peter Hulme (Essex).
Proposals for papers (no longer than 200 words) should be submitted before 1 October 2008 to one of the three e-mail addresses noted below. Notification of acceptance of proposals will be sent out no later than 31 January 2009.
A conference website is under construction. More information on this will be circulated presently. Queries concerning practical matters should be directed to litgeo09@adm.slu.se

Event Details: In October 2008 the SWISS TEXT CORPUS project will be completed and be made available online (www.schweizer-textkorpus.ch) as part of a corpus of the German language. It contains German texts from a wide range of different text types of 20th century Switzerland. The German seminar of the University of Basel takes stock at the end of this project and is pleased to announce a conference with the title “Diversity in language corpora”. The aim of the conference is to investigate the different dynamic fields of work that deal with language corpora.
The word “diversity” in the title of the conference refers not only to the diversity of the corpus from a historical or contextual point of view or the diversity of the various kinds of texts and the conditions of their production and reception, but it also refers to the theoretical, technical and practical insights which were gained in the course of the project. “Diversity” also adresses the various academic disciplines with which the language corpus came into contact as well as the various possibilities of use that the corpus offers.
On the one hand, the conference aims to present to the public the SWISS TEXT CORPUS and its partner projects in Germany (Berlin), Austria (Vienna) and Italy (Bolzano). On the other hand it aims to locate the completed corpus within a bigger framework and wants to provide a forum for a dialogue with current debates in related disciplines such as corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, lexicography, digitization and computer science.
The conference will be held at the “Bildungszentrum der mission21″ (Missionsstrasse 21, CH-4055 Basel), from 22 to 24 April.
