Description:

This is a workshop based on the idea that "translation" equals "transformation." How do the choices we make in vocabulary, style, conceptual approach, when we write anything at all, "translate our thoughts into words," affect the result How do we know that the literature in translation is an accurate reflection of the original Can translated literature ever reach the aesthetic and emotional immediacy of texts we are able to read in their original (or "our") language These are some of the questions we'll be examining while also attempting to create our own translations, either from languages we know, or from one kind of English to another. Open to W&L and W&P students only, others by permission of the department.
