CALL FOR PAPERS
 Cultures of Translation: Adaptation in Film and Performance
 An interdisciplinary and international conference
 University of Glamorgan, Cardiff, Wales, UK
 26-28 June 2008
 
 Contributions are invited to an international conference which focuses on various aspects of adaptation into film, performance, television, radio and other media.
 Adaptation - the reworking of a verbal text or another artefact for a new audience in a different genre or media - is as old a practice as cultural production itself, yet its systematic study - adaptation studies - is only a recently emerging discipline. The Cardiff School of Creative and Cultural Industries with its strengths in drama, music, media and communication and having strong links with the creative writing unit of the university is the editorial home of Journal of Adaptation in Film and Performance and is now hosting a major international and interdisciplinary conference that will shape the formation of this neglected field of research.
 The event is open to scholars from as diverse, yet closely interconnected areas as the study of film, theatre, opera, music, dance, television, radio, games and graphic narratives. Whereas some of the most recent research in the field focused on the connections between adaptation and appropriation, this conference also addresses analogies and differences between adaptation and translation processes.
 The conference embraces a plethora of perspectives characteristic of the encompassed disciplines and facilitates a negotiation between these stances, whether they emphasise the creative or the interpretive aspect of translation and adaptation. Both the concepts and independent cases of adaptation and translation will receive attention. The event will provide room for the investigation of transformative strategies both against the respective cultural and historical settings and generic or media-based criteria.
The conference therefore offers a range of platforms to participants, including plenaries, papers, workshops, masterclasses, exhibitions, screenings and performances so as to initiate dialogue between theoretical and more practice-based approaches to adaptation and translation.
 Provisional keynote speakers include:
 * Professor Steffen Hantke (Sogang University, Seoul, Republic of Korea)
 * Dr John Milton, (Universidade de S’ Paulo, Brazil)
 * Dr Anthony Minghella (British Film Institute, London, UK)
 * Professor Eckart Voigts-Virchow (University of Siegen, Germany)
 
 The conference is organised by Professor Richard Hand (University of Glamorgan), Dr Katja Krebs (University of Bristol) and Dr M’ta Minier (University of Glamorgan).
 Please send enquiries, abstracts for papers (max. 250 words) and proposals for masterclasses/ workshops, book stalls, screenings, performances or any other platforms of presentation to afp2008@hotmail. co.uk by Friday 29 February 2008.
