Description: Translation has always been the medium of communication among nations of different tongues. The role and status of translation has been underestimated and unrecognized but has now begun to attract attention. This course introduces translation as a discipline, and tracks its development, its schools of thought, and theories and practices. We will offer various case studies and discuss how translation reflects power relations, identities, societal interactions, and ideologies. The course will expose students to different types of texts with the objective of developing the necessary skills to translate them.

Weekly Readings: Will be available on the New University in Exile Consortium's website linked here.
