Again, making strange or funny scenarios helps keep their interest. For example: Teacher: “If pigs could fly” Student A: “If pigs could fly, they would make nests in trees.” Student B: “If pigs made nests in trees, the birds would get angry.” Student A: “If the birds got angry” Make it mysterious Give students 10 (or more) conditions and have them verbally complete the results for each (or vice-versa), but out of order so their partner doesn’t know the conditional that’s being completed.

With Translator Studies (Chesterman 2009) emerging as a new and vibrant field within Translation Studies, the attention has moved from product to producer and the translator has been brought into sharp focus.
The death of the author, with the assumed birth of the translator, and the cultural, cognitive, creative, and sociological turns within the discipline have acted as strong catalysts for this new interest in the translator. So far, researchers have been particularly interested in the translator’s habitus, in translatorial cognition, in the translator’s cultural and historical rootedness, but few attempts have yet been made to integrate the different perspectives. It is the aim of this conference to set an interdisciplinary stage to discuss theoretical and methodological challenges that come with studying the literary translator, bringing together diverse approaches and multiple perspectives, such as cognitive science, sociology, psychology, creativity studies, identity studies, gender and queer studies, etc. Contributions are welcomed that focus on the literary translator, who, traditionally, tends to remain in the wings, shedding new light on psychological, emotional, physical, social, and cultural facets of the translator’s persona and identity. The languages of the conference will be English and German. Early registration fee (before 28 February 2018): € 220 Fee after 28 February 2018: € 260. The Forum will gather policy-makers, senior civil servants, high level experts and Civil Society Organizations’ representatives from across Europe to discuss the role of civic participation for better policy making and improved public governance systems.
The debate will also be aimed at generating new political support for open government and strengthening commitment to action. The event will include a morning and an afternoon session. The morning session will consist of an interactive discussion to better understand how participation can effectively foster innovation, improve public services and restore trust between public institutions and citizens. There will be three thematic fish-bowl conversations to facilitate interaction among participants and help get structured proposals that can inspire political commitment in the region. The focus of the sessions will be models of civic participation at central, local and European level. The afternoon session will be dedicated to administrations and associations that will present participation best practices at subnational level coming from the OGP subnational programs and from an ad hoc scouting exercise by Italian CSOs. The session will include two parallel events: a poster gallery with texts and multimedia material where participants will have the opportunity to follow a path across Europe and read about 20 best practices.
