The conference about languages, translation and integration organized by the Centre for intercultural studies Ariel at the University IULM in Milan, on November 28th, 2007, involved a good number of scholars from different Italian universities and a great number of proposals and papers. These works were related to the development of the reflections on language, languages and their translatability, on the one hand, and with the last stages of translation studies and their incorporation in the academic world, on the other. The contributions collected in this volume go from topics such as teaching Spanish as a second language to the specific characteristics of literary translation, and the application of new technologies in foreign language teaching and the role of these technologies as tools for the translator. But, above all, these papers focus on the importance of the cultural elements which are transmitted through language. An invitation, in brief, to take on its plurality and instability. To stand “in Babel’s shadow”, learning not to inexorably search for mediations and to accept the dispersion and multiplicity of languages.
L'incontro su lingue, traduzione e integrazione organizzato dal Centro di Studi interculturali ARIEL presso la sede dell'Università IULM di Milano, il 28 novembre 2007, ha visto l'adesione di numerosi studiosi appartenenti a diversi atenei italiani e una pluralità di proposte e contributi. Riguardo allo sviluppo della riflessione attorno al linguaggio, alle lingue e la loro traducibilità, da una parte, e agli studi traduttologici e il loro nuovo ruolo nel mondo accademico, dall'altra. I contributi presenti nel volume spaziano dalla didattica dello spagnolo come lingua straniera, alle peculiarità della traduzione letteraria, passando attraverso le applicazioni delle nuove tecnologie nella didattica della lingua e al loro ruolo al servizio del traduttore: Ma sono anche, e soprattutto, volti ad approfondire l’importanza degli elementi culturali veicolati dalla lingua. Un invito, insomma, a prendere atto della sua pluralità e instabilità. A vivere "all'ombra di Babele", imparando a non cercare con spirito inesorabile le mediazioni e ad accettare la dispersione e la molteplicità dei linguaggi.

Abstract
The conference about languages, translation and integration organized by the Centre for intercultural studies Ariel at the University IULM in Milan, on November 28th, 2007, involved a good number of scholars from different Italian universities and a great number of proposals and papers. These works were related to the development of the reflections on language, languages and their translatability, on the one hand, and with the last stages of translation studies and their incorporation in the academic world, on the other. The contributions collected in this volume go from topics such as teaching Spanish as a second language to the specific characteristics of literary translation, and the application of new technologies in foreign language teaching and the role of these technologies as tools for the translator. But, above all, these papers focus on the importance of the cultural elements which are transmitted through language. An invitation, in brief, to take on its plurality and instability. To stand “in Babel’s shadow”, learning not to inexorably search for mediations and to accept the dispersion and multiplicity of languages.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
