Subject:

Description:

The workshop addresses both the process of translation and the ways in which meaning is created and shaped through words. It explores the art of literary translation by focusing on style, craft, tone, and the array of options available to the literary translator in using translation as a tool for both interpreting textual origins and the performative shape of the translation itself. Class time is divided between a consideration of the approach taken by various translators, theoretical articles on translation, and students' own translations into English of poetry and prose from any language or text of their own choosing. Prerequisite: one year of language study or permission of the instructor.
