EALC 22001 /32001 - Translating Modern Japanese Poetry

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

PQ: Reading knowledge of modern Japanese. Students in this workshop read and translate into English a range of Japanese poetry written from the late nineteenth century to the present. Although we read some translation theory as well as acquaint ourselves with standard accounts of the history of modern Japanese poetry, our emphasis is on generating the questions ourselves through the primary activity of wrestling with the transformation of a set of words living in one language into another. We work collectively and separately. Students propose poems for collective translation and for individual projects. N. Field. Spring.
