This seminar has two main aims. The first is to explore translation studies and translation theory. Through readings, activities and class discussions, you will develop a good understanding of the history and current state of both of these fields. The second aim of the seminar is to bring theory into practice. You will utilize your knowledge on translation theory as a guiding framework to understand how translation is taught. Then, you will develop your own course on an aspect of translation. Although this seminar is taught in the French Department, you do not need to have knowledge of French to enroll.
