INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION, TRANSLATION AND IDIOMATICITY
Literary, Translatological, Linguistic Reflections (Publication in Peter Lang)
13, 14 and 15 March 2024
Virtual venue: San Jose State University, California (USA)
«A Rose is a Rose»… said the song. And it went on to say «I wanted to cut the most tender flower of the rose bush / thinking that from love / I couldn’t prick myself/» . And then, the rose as it pricked me «For a lie and a creed … taught me one thing … that a rose is a rose». It taught me that it was sweet and at the same time dangerous. For that reason – so simple and complicated – when we see each other in a few years we will want to have changed. Communication and migration, technology and personal ties will change. And we will try to make the human being reflect through Literature, Language and Translation on the issues that will be more than ever indispensable:
- Line 1: Intercultural Communication, its animated condition, what it strives to be (dialogue, argumentation, debate, inclusion, otherness, diversity).
- Line 2: What everyone loves: Literary Genres, as poetry and readers are at their own pace (translation, dissemination, poetry and translators, poetic interpretation, prose interpretation, actions, gestures, words).
- Line 3: The irrefutable terrain that gives off this rhythm and that vanishes under its weight (anagnorisis, drama, semiotic procedures, the referents of audiovisual creation, the media).
- Line 4: Philosophers distanced by ideological questions (ethnocentrism, liberalism – tolerance and society -, hermeneutics, empathy, values, mediation).
- Line 5: What each of us, although already forgotten, keeps in our Soul and suddenly emerges (phraseological units, communicative competence, variations in contrast, cognitive aspects).
This conference in several languages (German, French, English, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish) is aimed at Higher Education Teachers, Secondary Education Teachers, EOI’s, Academics, Translation, Interpreting and Communication Professionals, Researchers, Philologists, Filmmakers, Poets and Students. The deadline for submission of communication proposals is 14 December 2023, and they will be selected by the Scientific Committee of this event. The results will be announced on 19 January 2024. For the planned publication in the prestigious Peter Lang Publishing Group (ICEE 183) and in the Academic Journal liLETRAd – subject to peer review – the deadline for submission of articles will be 20 May 2024. The established fee for speakers is 200 euros until 31 January 2024 and 250 euros until 16 February 2024. The established price for students or listeners who do not present a paper is 20 euros, subject to registration until 16 February 2024. All certificates will be issued by the Vice Chancellor’s Office of San Jose State University, California (USA). Our registration form for this congress should be sent once completed to the following e-mail address: aliletrad@gmail.com

About our Congress liLETRAd 2022
12TH INTERNATIONAL LILETRAD CONGRESS
Cfp: «Metaversality and immersive realities: a space for (re-)construction», to be held virtually on 15-16 December 2022
Changes are a constant feature of life and its inhabitants, and we have been adapting to them. With each liLETRAd Congress we have been learning that, sometimes, we have had to create a new itinerary in our plans, with our possibilities and the best we can do. But among the possible parallel worlds that exist – we do not know how many – a couple of questions arise:
1. Will we have to deal with undefined technological proposals, taking into account the above?
2. Will we lose our essence and our literary, linguistic, translatological traditions, becoming distorted, without the Heideggerian Sorge of a hic et nunc?
Without wanting to do dramaturgy, we will leave the answers to the design of the stars… who better? In this 12th liLETRAd Congress aimed at teachers and students in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, 20-minute papers will be presented and then there will be a 5-10 minute debate on how Literature, Language and Translation will always be indispensable. On this occasion we will be hosted by Clemson University (Upstate South Carolina), and our chosen topic will be «Metaversality and immersive realities: a space for (re-)construction.
Reinventing ourselves in the metaverse will make the universal interaction between participants real and sensitive, leaving a vital global impact on the builders and consumers of the immersive virtual world. Our thematic lines for the XII liLETRAd Congress will revolve around:
The relationship between Literature and Metaverse
References to fictitious or collective worlds
The convergence and compatibility of external realities
Authors of science fiction novels and their analysis
How to learn one or more languages in virtual reality
Branded learning activities, immersive video games or others
Human and economic social interaction
Individual, group and authoring experiences
Multilingual cyberspace as a metaphor for the real world
Learning languages and phonetics with avatars
Film works, stories and dialogues
Adapting Translation Companies to the Metaverse and Accessibility
Predictions in translation and interpreting
Voice-constructed worlds and time-space
This conference is aimed at higher education teachers, academics, researchers and students.
The deadline for submission of paper proposals is 15 October 2022, after selection by the Scientific Committee of this event. The results will be available from 20 October 2022. For the planned publication in Peter Lang publishing house and in the Academic Journal liLETRAd, the deadline for submission of articles will be 17 February 2022. The established price for speakers is 200 euros until 31 October 2022 and 250 euros until 7 November 2022. The established price for students who do not present a paper is 20 euros until 10 December 2022.

Almería, it is you, whom I am dreaming of. You are the sea and the sunshine. It is you, the one whom I once met and you have always been by my side. You mean country and people, tradition and culture. You are my unforgettable friend, you are effort and mood. If I could, I would return to you. Just as the bird comes back to your shore and your letters ask for remaining in my life.
You are A of Affection.
You are A of Amiability.
You are A of Arab and Anglo-Saxon.
You are a part of my Andalusia.
All of my soul. But you are way more than this…
You are varied and different, the tastes use to wear your colours and essence gets dressed by the sound of your music.
In your Alcazaba I knew Ancient Times’ secret and its Alpujarra’s renovation, veiled by tropical species’ sounds. The monuments really tell!
They talk about you and me, about a story which I want to tell you right now.
About those times, when I kept you in my mind. Later on I thought, I would forget you, that the clouds were carrying letters which never reached. So years went by. Until I grew older.
Times passed by with ups and downs, only when I remembered you stronger, the look was young, a little emotion overwhelms me. Will it be a congress? Will it be you, again?
You are a little girl, aren’t you? Now I am quite sure: You are unique to me, time doesn’t matter. And I look at you and I feel you, and I can smell the scent of your lanes. I close my eyes, I squeeze my hands, and there you are. In the Love poems I wrote to you, in the stars of each sky, in the heart of each novel, in the application of each work, in the storm and in the calm, in the celebrations, in the failures, in the reality and in drowsiness. A lot of people discovered from close up.
So, when the cinema became science and saw you, they thought about the most beautiful, because they werelucky to do the shooting in the paradise of your magic. Then everybody came to have a look at you, because in some moment someone speaks about your flowers, and, nevertheless, your perfume is everlasting. It seems that they are the ones which listen to the languages, to those which – even being far away – can be heard in your sound. English, French, Russian, Italian, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese have formed a colony thanks to you. They even seem to understand each other. What a curious coincidence!
Almería, with you I’ve learned. I was discovering that I loved you without knowing it, and I did not know that I loved you so much until I lost you. By mistake, of course. Excuse my Absence. Excuse so many things. But now I have to prepare myself, because I’m packing. And I’m going to start again, I do not want anyone to mine what´s burning inside me. Something else I will tell you: now I am not only going to watch you, but to make you know that there is neither desert that separates us, nor the mountains are as big. Although surely you’re going to teach me again, I’m an eternal learner. There we see ourselves, with Almeria’s passion! This multidisciplinary congress is aimed at professors of public and private universities, all the Official Schools of Languages, where there are so many beloved people, especially teachers.
This congress includes conversation and round tables of experts, professionals and those strange people who write at the wrong time and whom we admire devoutly. Writers of the whole world, come with your works!
Send your proposals before February 15th, 2019 to aliletrad@gmail.com and we will collect research results in a monographic book considering Aneca guidelines scale.

CONGRESS 2018 LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES, NATIONALISMS AND IDENTITIES
The world is divided into five populated continents: Europe, America, Africa, Asia, Oceania. And we think this is true. In order for these affirmations to take on weight, the processes of transformation that occurred were numerous. Nevertheless, please continue reading this brief account:
The man stopped living in his caverns more than five thousand years ago and since then he has fought in search of the longed for Peace. However, to achieve this it has crossed seas and oceans and has been exposed to numerous dangers. Pirates and privateers were always on the lookout. Stereotyped characters, archetypes and empires formed the current imaginary.
Countries defined people as monarchical or republican, as a rule without first asking them.
The cities built their forts, to defend themselves against the invasions, so that little by little they changed the course of history or maintained it. They even coveted other lands and then they abandoned theirs. Others were happy in backcountry areas, away from the problems of pollution.
When some men considered that we were not all equal, nor would we enjoy the same privileges, the wars began and the criminals took advantage of the citizens … Now that the Centennial of the end of World War I is fulfilled, it is a good time for dialogue and for to understand that to defend a position at all costs constitutes an inherent right to Nationality, but to strive to defend Nationalisms is not always optimal and the origin of conflicts, while Identity is a feeling that flows from the individual’s way of being and corresponds to the abstract concept of Homeland.
At our V International Congress liLETRAd, to be held on 4, 5 and 6 July 2018 at the Catholic University of Cuyo (San Luis, Argentina, C / Felipe Velázquez, No. 471, CP: 5700), we want to discover the adventure that brings us in America this new company of Literature, Language and Translation in several languages: Spanish, German, French, English, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Chinese and other languages. We anticipate that a Gala Dinner will be held on July 6 at the same host university.
This congress is organized by the INTERNATIONAL liLETRAd Association, promoted by the Research Group HUM-978 of the University of Seville and by the Vice-Rectorate of the Catholic University of Cuyo. We will set out previously from many remote places to participate in a meeting-point in Buenos Aires (1st and 2nd of July 2018, Plaza de los Españoles, at 10:00 AM). We will walk through its elegant streets in the district of Puerto Madero, we will dance Tango in the quarter of Boca and we will taste the best Creole flavors.
Obtain your registration form in the following link and send it to the email aliletrad@gmail.com before April 30, 2018. The discount for speakers and assistants ends on February 28, 2018: Reg_Form 2018
The deadline for articles to be published in a monographic volume is August 20, 2018. Access all the information about the new sections here: Topics_liLETRAd 2018

Committee of Organization liLETRAd
Dear colleagues, dear members of liLETRAD INTERNACIONAL:
It is a great pleasure to greet and WELCOME you all to our new edition of liLETRAd 2017, which will be held on the 5, 6 and 7th of July!
On this occasion we are making a delightful proposal, which hopefully will open a way to academic exchange and cultural communication among countries.
Given the pleasant experience in our previous editions, we are about to extend your participation. Among our speakers we will find our beloved Honor Partners: Mrs. Inger Enkvist, Mr. Darío Villanueva, Mr. Pedro. R. García Barreno and Mr. Juan de Castro.
If we were to emphasize an important aspect of their personality, it would be their accessibility, that magic word that differentiates them but makes us closer as well. They are Academics, and we can type it in capital letters, but they evidently learn from observation and dialogue. We therefore invite you to do the same in several languages: German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Chinese and Spanish.
Based on our extensive thematic fields, which include LITERATURE, LANGUAGE and TRANSLATION, our line of argument, «BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN EAST AND WEST», focuses on a brand new and social current theme: the existence or construction of walls, Barriers, Brexit and further delimitations, which, rather than uniting us, could break with global love as well as with ethical principles and constitutional rights. From a universal and integral perspective, we would like to contribute to our basic object of study, the Humanities, and to investigate both the pros and cons of research and production, teaching and learning. Starting from our hidden but inevitable initiative we would like to join our voice to moderate all those situations or conflicts that in one way or another affect us. Sometimes, these blissful ideas invade our precious global village without reason…
liLETRAd International Conference 2017 is mainly addressed to university professors and other professionals, Secondary Education or Special Regimes and / or Primary Education, although our Cátedra liLETRAd Literature competition could accept relevant works written by other participants for their presentation during the days 5, 6 and 7th of July, upon proposals from their authors. Check our policies here: rules-of-the-literary-contest-2017
We will be looking forward to seeing you in the incomparable setting of the University of Seville, where your scientific work will be presented rigorously, and where through its thematic sections we will establish a framework that requires of your worthy knowledge.
During this year changes are expected to take place in our old Europe, measures will be taken in our beloved America and we will still keep on dreaming that one day there will be a world in peace. The actions we undertake together are those that will last through time. In our classrooms Luís Cernuda, Manuel Ariza, Aula Magna and Paraninfo (Rectorate of the University of Seville) we will discuss the implications and consequences of these changes. We can all bring fresh ideas to the place!
Then the entertainment time will come. We are fully confident that you will like the Alfonso XIII Hotel, next to the university, in which we will have some snacks to promote this spirit.
Speakers can register for the conference from now until the 30th of April 2017, whereas the attendees can do it until the 30th of June 2017 by sending their application form to aliletrad@gmail.com. Please click in the following link to download the registration form: registration-form_en_2017 For further information you also may contact ccastro1@us.es
Contributions for publication must be submitted before the 10th of August 2017. They will be peer-reviewed and indexed in databases through our REVISTA ACADÉMICA liLETRAD, which will reach its impressive 4TH volume.
We wish the greatest ethical fortune upon all of you and an enterprising event that brings us closer in a transcultural atmosphere.
Our best wishes from the liLETRAd team!
