This conference aims to contribute to ongoing debates in the field of Translation Studies (TS), with a particular but not exclusive focus on literary translation – both as a practice and as an object of scholarly inquiry. It confirms a critical engagement with canon and canonicity that has been a defining concern at CETAPS (the research unit behind this initiative), as shown by our first ‘Version / Subversion’ conference (http://web3.letras.up.pt/version ).

Version / Subversion II will extend this concern in the direction of areas of TS that have recently enjoyed a renewed and reconfigured attention – such as gender, identities and multimodality.
