COML 171A: Literary Translation in Theory and in Practice
Interested in languages, translation, cultural difference? Checkout this fall seminar. Fall 2021 registration is open!
Led by Professor David Powelstock ([email protected]), this course approaches literary translation from several angles at once, and combines readings in the history and theory of translation with a practical translation workshop. Students will experience first-hand the challenges of literary translation and, with the help of the theoretical readings, reflect on what the process teaches us about linguistic, literary, and cultural difference.
Prerequisite: Intermediate to advanced reading knowledge of any language other than English. For permission to register, in Workday, students should find the course and request an "eligibility override" and add a note about your reading proficiency in the source language you want to work with. This might be as simple as noting how long you've studied the language. This will generate an approval request that will be sent to Prof. Powelstock.
