TRAN 101 - Introduction to Translation and Interpretation Studies

3 Credit Hours
This course introduces students to the theory and practice of translation. The first part of the course is devoted to the study of the history and methodologies derived from the art and craft of translation, providing students with new ways of interpreting a variety of texts. The second part of the course focuses on the actual process of translating. Special attention is paid to the structural differences among languages; the significance of tone and style; the author’s voice and the translator’s positionality; the on-going problems of fidelity, literalness, freedom, imitation, analogy; and the limitations of cultural and textual translatability.

Prerequisite(s): ENGL 101 /CRWS 101  and either SPAN 202 , SPAN 231 , FREN 202 , ITAL 202 , or documented placement-exam results above the 202/231 level; or consent of instructor.
