Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

09W: 12 Translation is at once the most basic and the most complicated aspect of what we call "comparative literature." Whether we are engaged in translation ourselves or studying literature already translated from other languages, we often take it for granted; yet the idea of meanings "lost in translation" is also a commonplace. This course examines both some practical aspects of translation and the theoretical questions to which it gives risIn 09W, This course has a theoretical and a practical component. We will analyze translations of literary works and sample the diverse field of translation theory. At the same time, each student will work on a translation project and participate in workshops on student translations. Reading knowledge of a foreign language is required: at least intermediate competence is recommended. Interested students who are unsure of their language preparation should contact the instructor.
