| Course description |
The course addresses a number of questions in translation theories that may also be of interest to students of literature and literary criticism. Among these are the issues of translation, authorship, and the canon; translation and orality; and themes arising from the relationship of translation to specific issues in culture (translator's invisibility; foreignisation and domestication; minority, patronage, ideology; translation and post-colonialism; translation and gender; translation and the asymmetrical power relations between languages and cultures). |
