Abstract
Reflection on the links between so-called related disciplines is not new. However, in the last decades, the works which display interdisciplinarity, pluridisciplinarity or transdisciplinarity have increased in number. For some, crossing the borders calls into question the autonomy of the disciplines, as if specialization in one area is no longer possible without recourse to other fields. It is not only a question of revisiting a much debated question, that of the historical relationship between linguistics and translation studies, but of rethinking the nature of the relations which bind one or the other discipline to other fields of study: literature, psychology, philosophy, sociology, cognitive science, culture, communication, history, etc.

The thematic section
The theme for the next issue of Al-Kīmīya, the Journal of the Faculté de Langues et de traduction of the Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth, is Language and Translation: Multidisciplinary Research
Reflection on the links between so-called related disciplines is not new. However, in the last decades, the works which display interdisciplinarity, pluridisciplinarity or transdisciplinarity have increased in number. For some, crossing the borders calls into question the autonomy of the disciplines, as if specialization in one area is no longer possible without recourse to other fields. Is there a need for each discipline to feel threatened? Or, on the contrary, would it be new evidence of the complexity of human activity that escapes any partitioning or unique perspective? The title of this theme, referring to human activities subject to research, (in our case, language and translation) puts more emphasis on the multidisciplinary nature of the reflections. The underlying disciplines are, of course, linguistics and translation studies, but also all related disciplines and sub-disciplines. It is not only a question of revisiting a much debated question, that of the historical relationship between linguistics and translation studies, but of rethinking the nature of the relations which bind one or the other discipline to other fields of study: literature, psychology, philosophy, sociology, cognitive science, culture, communication, history, etc.
The main axes of research covered in the framework of this theme are the following (non-exhaustive list):
- The relationship between disciplines: theoretical contribution, research problems and methodologies.
- The future of translation studies or language research with regard to current interdisciplinary approaches.
- Disciplinary research: epistemological issues.
- The role of academic institutions (at the level of teaching and research) in disciplinary breakdown and/or collaborative research.
- Didactics and interdisciplinary approaches.
- The notions of specialized references and/or researchers working in networks.
Submission guidelines
Researchers wishing to submit their contribution are requested to send it to the following address: may.haddad@usj.edu.lb,
before March 15, 2019.
Proposals for Varia section and book reviews will also be received.

Presentation
Al-Kīmīya is a journal published by the Faculté de Langues et de traduction (FdLT) of the Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth (USJ).
Founded in 2001-2002 under this name from the annals of the Institut de langues et de traduction (ILT), Al-Kīmīya publishes mainly research papers in the fields of translation, interpretation and languages particularly, translation, terminology, history of translation, intercultural communication, translation teaching, language teaching and language sciences.
It is a biannual, multilingual journal receiving original articles in French, Arabic, English, Spanish, Italian and German. Each issue includes a thematic section focused on a specific subject that may be common to the specific disciplines of translation and languages, a Varia section and a reviews section of recent books published in the fields covered by the journal.
Al-Kīmīya is a space for reflection giving the floor to researchers, instructors, PhD students and professionals in translation and language.
