Globalization
and intercultural interaction, as key concepts of
our society, seem to be contributing to changing
traditional universities into actual univer-cities,
where curricula, goals, ways of communication, staff
members and target groups –among others– are
being redefined. The question now is whether academic
societies will really be able to function as "universe-cities" when
sticking to the traditional language and translation
approaches which are used within the nation-state
model.
The aim of this symposium, therefore, is to find
out and discuss the exact implication(s) of the
various communicative changes entailed by the internationalization
(globalization) of language (and translation) strategies.
