| COM LIT (W27) | 101W TRANSLATION STUDIES | WOLPE, S. |
| COM LIT 101W: Creative Translation Translation is not simply the transfer of ideas from one language to another. It is shaped by assumptions, values and codes proper to both the source and target cultures. Hierarchies of power and prestige shape both the discourses and lived realities of gender, race, class, sexuality, and national identity––all of which influence, and are influenced by, language. To become effective literary translators or writers in any field, students must learn to look beyond their own cultural frameworks, see the world through multiple lenses, question prevailing assumptions, and cultivate their capacity for creative thinking. This course will: 1. Introduce students to diverse forms of creative translation, as well as the theories and practices of literary translation. Students will examine the cultural, political and ethical challenges contemporary writers and translators face across a range of contexts. 2. Guide students in exploring their own creative practice through translation, developing new ways of seeing, reading, and writing. The course will culminate in a collaborative group project and individual creative projects. Assessment: Students will be assessed through: Reading and writing assignments (45%), attendance (15%), participation (15%), and final projects (25%). Required Texts Required readings are available as PDF files through Canvas. | ||
