CERLIS, the Research Centre on Languages for Specific Purposes of the University of Bergamo, organizes the next Conference on Translation and Gender in the Profession. After the successful 3rd Valencia/Napoli Colloquium on Gender & Translation, jointly organized by the GenText Research Group of the Universitat de València, the Dipartimento di Studi Letterari, Linguistici e Comparati of the Università di Napoli ‘L’Orientale’, and the GETLIHC Research Group (Grup de Estudis de Gènere: Traducciò, Literatura, Història i Comunicaciò), CERLIS takes over the initiative and proposes a Conference whose aim is to offer a broad view of research on Translation and Gender in the Profession around the world. The theme will be tackled from transdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives, with various methodological approaches for LSP analysis (Translation Studies, Translation Theory and Practice, Applied and Cognitive Linguistics, Social Semiotics, Corpus Linguistics, etc.), especially in regard to discourses of academia, law, business, science, medicine (and their popularized forms), as well as tourism and the media, with a specific focus on gender perspectives.

Plenary lectures will be delivered by the following keynote speakers:

David Katan (Università del Salento)
José Santaemilia (Universitat de València)
Pascale Sardin (Université Bordeaux-Montaigne)
Jane Sunderland (University of Lancaster)

About Bergamo

Bergamo is in Northern Italy, 50 km north-east of Milan, on the way to Lake Garda and Venice. Thanks to its international airport (sometimes advertised as ‘Milan-Orio al Serio’, or Milan-BGY), Bergamo can be reached by plane from many European cities; alternatively, participants may fly to Milan and take a train to Bergamo.

In this case, you will need to take a train from Malpensa to Milano Centrale Station (Milan Central Station) and a train from there to Bergamo.

Milano Malpensa Airport

Malpensa airport has two terminals: Terminal 1 (for international flights) and Terminal 2 (for low-cost airlines). Between Terminals 1 and 2 there is a free shuttle (Navetta Terminal 1-Terminal 2), active 24 hours a day, running about every 7 minutes from 06.00 to 23.00 and about every 30 minutes from 23.00 to 06.00 (For more information: https://www.milanomalpensa-airport.com/it/da-per/collegamenti-terminal).

From Milan Malpensa Airport to Milan Central Station (Milano Centrale):

Malpensa Bus Express or Malpensa Shuttle Air Pullman to Milano Centrale (not Milano Cadorna) from Terminal 1 and 2: buy tickets from the driver standing by the door of bus; buses leave every 20 minutes from 6 to 1:20 am (takes 60 minutes). Ticket price: approximately € 10 round trip, € 16 round trip. (For more information: https://www.milanomalpensa-airport.com/it/da-per/in-bus)

The Malpensa Express train to Milano Centrale (not Milano Cadorna) takes about 60 minutes and departs every 30 minutes from 05:37 to 22.37 (departures are at 7 and 37 minutes every hour from Terminal 2, and at minutes 13 and 43 from Terminal 1).

Stopover in Milan (by Richard Dury)

1. There are a number of business-type hotels near the Stazione Centrale - but they and the area are pretty dull.

2. An interesting area is Corso Magenta (continuing into Via Meravigli) – it’s got little specialist shops, historic buildings, Bar Magenta that was trendy the last time I went there (but since I stopped going, who knows...) and S. Maria Maggiore with Leonardo’s Last Supper (you have to book, but if you stay at a nearby hotel they should be able to help to book ahead of arrival; the number for booking yourself is 02/89 42 11 46) - you might think the Last Supper is so familiar that you know it already, but every time I’ve been to see it, it’s been an impressive experience (Nobel Laureate Dario Fo has just come up with a theory that the perspective lines give you the impression that you are floating a few feet above the ground). It’s also near the Ambrosiana, which was, I believe the first public art gallery. Note that the Via Meravigli area is quite close to Stazione Cadorna where the Malpensa Express shuttle train arrives/leaves from. In this area there’s Hotel S. Marta Suite (Via S. Marta 4). Also Hotel King, Corso Magenta 19. Via S. Marta is not far from Via Spadari and Peck, an amazing Aladin’s-cave of a delicatessen. Right next door to Peck is Hotel Spadari.

3. The most monumental and Parisian street in Milan (and perhaps the only bit of modern Milan apart from the inside of the Scala theatre that helps you understand why Stendhal asked to be buried under just his name and ‘un milanais’) is Corso Venezia: broad pavement and magnificent historic buildings on one side and the park on the other, leading down into the centre. On the trafficked Piazza Oberdan at the end of Corso Venezia is Hotel Promessi Sposi. Nearby in Via Nino Bixio 4/a is the Roxy Hotel (might be worth staying there just for the name).

4. The Brera area behind La Scala and round the main art museum (Brera) is also ‘molto tipico’, art galleries, cobbled streets, restaurants, Armani's house... On the busy street that marks the limit of the Brera area is Hotel Cavour, Via Fatebenefratelli 21.

Accommodations and meals

Participants are invited to make their own accommodation arrangements. Both in the Lower Town and in the Upper Town various hotels are available, from relatively inexpensive to luxury: below you will find a list of possible contacts. Early booking is highly recommended, as Bergamo is a popular tourist destination throughout the year.

As for meals, many restaurants and bars are located in the neighbourhood of the Conference venue.
