Course Description: This 10-week seminar seeks to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of translation, empowering them to bridge linguistic gaps and foster effective communication across borders and cultures. The course will begin with an exploration of various schools of thought in the field, including both theoretical and practical perspectives, and then turn to case studies to develop translation skills. It is a starting point for anyone interested in delving into the world of translation and its profound influence on global interactions.
Presented by The New University in Exile Consortium at The New School for Social Research.
