Translation is approached not only as a linguistic operation, but also as a cultural, ideological, ethical, and institutional practice.</p> <p>We particularly welcome papers addressing the <strong>poetics of translation</strong>, understood as the strategies, principles, and creative tensions involved in translating literary, specialized, and hybrid texts, as well as the <strong>politics of translation</strong>, including issues of power, ideology, policy, censorship, ethics, and technological mediation. The role, visibility, and responsibility of the translator—as mediator, creator, editor, and cultural agent—are also central concerns of this issue.</p> <p><strong>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:</strong></p> <ul> <li>The poetics of translation: literary, specialized, and hybrid texts</li> <li>The politics of translation: ideology, power, policy, censorship, ethics</li> <li>Translation and technology: digital tools, AI, and the human factor</li> <li>The translator’s role, agency, and visibility</li> <li>Romanian Translation Studies: historical developments, defining voices, institutional trajectories</li> <li>Localisation, globalization, and cultural mediation in translation</li> <li>Comparative and interdisciplinary approaches in Translation Studies</li> </ul> <p><strong>Submission guidelines</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Length:</strong> 4,000–7,000 words</li> <li><strong>Language:</strong> English</li> <li><strong>Originality:</strong> Submissions must not have been previously published or be under consideration elsewhere.</li> <li><strong>Review process:</strong> All submissions will undergo a <strong>double-blind peer-review</strong> process.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Important dates</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Submission of manuscripts:</strong> 20<em> April 2026</em></li> <li><strong>Publication of the issue:</strong> <em>June 2026</em></li> </ul> <p><strong>Submission procedure</strong></p> <p>Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts via the <em>Linguaculture</em> Submissions page:<br /><a href="https://journal.linguaculture.ro/index.php/home/about/submissions">https://journal.linguaculture.ro/index.php/home/about/submissions</a></p> <p>Please consult the <em>Instructions for Authors</em> before submitting:<br /><a href="https://journal.linguaculture.ro/index.php/home/instructions-authors">https://journal.linguaculture.ro/index.php/home/instructions-authors</a></p> <p><strong>Acknowledgement</strong>: This work was supported by a grant of the Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitization, CNCS - UEFISCDI, project number PN-IV-P2-2.1-TE-2023-0768, within PNCDI IV.</p> Linguaculture 2026-02-02 https://www.journal.linguaculture.ro/index.php/home/announcement/view/16 <p>For this special issue, <strong><em>Anglicists and Americanists Today.

Films, television, music, video games, podcasts, comic books and graphic novels, genre fiction and other categories of pop culture production are constantly transferred and flow between countries and audiences. At the same time, worldbuilding and storytelling increasingly extend across media platforms (transmedia), which draws in new international communities of users and audiences. But audience reception and the uses of a particular pop culture product can vary enormously across cultures. We seek contributions that examine pop cultural phenomena within a transnational context, exploring the ways in which pop culture can be interpreted, used, marketed, and reworked differently across cultural boundaries or in the context of transmediality. Possible examples include:</p> <ul> <li>The limits of American pop culture: how do specific European or other non-U.S. audiences receive and react critically to U.S.-created worlds and characters?</li> <li>The decline of the Western as a lucrative genre (outside of video games): what does it mean and what drives the turn away from Old West entertainments in the U.S. and other regions?</li> <li>The relationship between history and film in a comparative context (U.S./Europe, U.S./Asia), examining how imperialism, the Cold War, or world wars are represented.</li> <li>Transnational cultural analyses of horror films, video games, podcasts, and other media. How has the horror genre changed over time, altering as it spread across transmedia platforms?</li> <li>How do specific locations (e.g., New York City, the American South or Southwest, London, Paris, Tokyo) become global imaginaries in pop culture, and how are they created or interpreted inside and outside of the cultures where the locations actually exist?</li> <li>Japanese or U.S. video games are products that both reflect the culture of origin, and which are interpreted and used within modern global networks, creating communities of user interpretation.</li> <li>How is crime fiction (e.g., Nordic noir) produced and received across national boundaries? How are true crime incidents from outside the U.S. extensively produced and discussed by U.S. true crime media and entertainments (and vice-versa)?</li> </ul> <p>The papers are expected to be in the fields of <strong>literary history and criticism, cultural studies and arts studies, aesthetics, history, marketing and audience reception, and fan studies, </strong>and it is hoped they will engender constructive dialogues between disciplines and generate relevant responses to contemporary dilemmas.</p> <p>LINGUACULTURE accepts original contributions (5,000 to 7,000 words) which have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

S. Lewis taught Literature at Oxford and Cambridge Universities for more than forty years. His final academic book, <em>The Discarded Image, </em>was an invocation not to discard the rich heritage of the past; then and now, it calls the readers to consider what he terms their own chronological – and literary – snobbery (<em>Surprised by Joy </em>207). Within the literature of old, Lewis saw much that was fundamental for the well-being of the future; as an intellectual historian he was prophetic. His calling as an academic – whatever genre his output – was to return his readers to the enchantment of literary transcendence.</p> <p>We invite papers that explore topics related to the scholarship of C.

Lewis and his kindred spirits as members of academia:</p> <ul> <li>biographical particulars;</li> <li>their perspectives on pedagogy and education (higher education in particular) and possible connections to the current state of affairs in this field;</li> <li>their perspectives on the role of the academic as tutor and mentor – and today’s challenges;</li> <li>their vocation as literary/cultural historians and critics;</li> <li>the influence of Middle Ages and Renaissance in their writing – academic, theological, and otherwise.</li> </ul> <p>The papers are expected to be in the fields of <strong>literary history and criticism, cultural studies and arts studies, linguistics, aesthetics, theology, history, ethics, and education sciences, </strong>and it is hoped they will engender constructive dialogues between disciplines and generate relevant responses to contemporary dilemmas.</p> <p>LINGUACULTURE accepts original contributions (5,000 to 7,000 words) which have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

We invite contributions in the fields of literature, language, cultural and translation studies, as well as interdisciplinary approaches dealing with the past or present movement of people and ideas between the two continents, especially in relation to the Anglophone world, highlighting from individual experiences to larger societal phenomena. Papers that focus on representations of intercultural encounters (e.g. travel writing, movies and other cultural products), the circulation of ideas (doctrines, artistic trends, systems of thought) and the outcomes of such mobility and exchanges are particularly welcome.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Contributions are expected by <strong>1 September 2022</strong>. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Issue Editors: <strong>Oana Cogeanu-Haraga</strong> and <strong>Soochul Kim</strong> </span></p> <p>Please consult our<a><strong> Instructions for Authors</strong></a> page for further information about submissions and additional requirements.</p> <p>Use the <a><strong>Submissions</strong></a> page to send us your contributions.</p> Linguaculture 2022-02-16 https://www.journal.linguaculture.ro/index.php/home/announcement/view/4 <p>For this thematic issue we welcome original contributions in the areas of narratology, literature (with a special focus on fantasy, on possible worlds in language structures, at the crossroads between referential semantics and fiction studies), translation studies (the challenge of translating fantasy for readerships of various ages and its effect on reception), semiotics, philosophy, logic, theology, cultural and arts studies, preferably focusing on the works of C.
