Together with the participants, we will attempt to define the interpreter\u2019s specific (real or potential) role and status.<\/p>\n We will examine two contrasting views: the interpreter as a mere conduit for communication, and the interpreter as an actively engaged intercultural mediator. I will briefly present the views of scholars who have addressed this issue, such as L. Venuti (1995), A. Kopczy\u0144ski (1994), C. Angelelli (2004), C. Wadensj\u00f6 (1998, 2008), F. Straniero Sergio (2012), G. Mullender (2014), U. Ozolins (2016), F. P\u00f6chhacker (2004, ed. 2015), V. Duflou (2016), M. Bartlomiejczyk (2017), J. Trzeciak Huss and J. E. Huss (2021), M. Kadri\u010d, S. Rennerts, C. Sch\u00e4ffner (2022), R. Li, K. Liu, A. K. Cheung (2023), E. Diriker (2004, 2025), among others.<\/p>\n We will be looking not only at the role and status of modern professional conference interpreters \u2013 whether elite consecutive interpreters at high level or simultaneous interpreters working in booths or through RSI \u2013 but also at the work of non-professional (volunteer) interpreters, media interpreters, court and healthcare interpreters, sports interpreters, and interpreters of national sign languages and International Sign.<\/p>\n Through a short interactive quiz with the audience, we will examine how new technologies and the Internet have influenced interpreter (in)visibility \u2013 through social media, personal websites, targeted online marketing – and, most importantly, ethical considerations. We will also reflect on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of AI on this issue.<\/p>\n Together, we will aim to understand and define better interpreter (in)visibility in the face of the turbulent social, political, and technological challenges of the 21st century.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.tic-conference.eu\/en\/keynote-speakers\/paola-gentile\/” button_text=”Next speaker – Paola Gentile” button_alignment=”right” disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#000000″ button_bg_color=”#fea30b” button_border_width=”12px” button_border_color=”#fea30b” button_border_radius=”0px” button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”|700||on|||||” button_icon=”$||divi||400″ button_icon_color=”#000000″ button_on_hover=”off” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”|||” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ custom_padding=”50px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” global_module=”1444″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Merriweather|700|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#21212a” header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” max_width=”700px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nI Still Don\u2019t Have a Clear Answer to the Concept of Interpreter (In)Visibility – Do You?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
