Talk: Overview of Digital Research Methods in the Arts and Humanities This talk will explore how digital research methods can be adopted in translation studies research and teaching in order to collect, prepare, analyze, visualize and present research data. It will begin by critically discussing digital tools and their strengths and weaknesses for humanities research […]

Professor Miguel A. Jiménez-Crespo will present an overview of the main methodological issues in the study of translated digital texts and potential avenues for research.

Professor Bart Defrancq will argue that corpus-based interpreting studies should resist the appeal of theoretical frameworks that have inspired many translation scholars working on translation corpora, i.e. the universals of translation framework. Rather, a rich corpus of interpreting, even of limited size, can reveal many interesting facts about interpreting that experimental setups could never lay bare.

Dr Adolfo M. García will survey the tenets of relevant neuroscientific techniques, review the evidence they have afforded regarding IR, and outline key questions for further research, with the focus on behavioral and neuropsychological methods, positron emission tomography (PET), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and electroencephalography (EEG). In doing so, he aims to foster a more active involvement of cognitive translatologists in brain-based research.

The lecture is about conceptual foundations and distinctions, influential ideas about interpreting, models of interpreting and paradigms in Interpreting Studies.

Although imagology, the field studying national and cultural images, for decades has focused on literary discourse, recently there is a tendency to include forms of recontextualization in non-fiction. In modern media societies, journalistic discourse is highly influential in producing and distributing national and cultural stereotyping.
