Course Description
Summary
In this course we will practice version, the art of translating from French into English. We will work on developing a mindfulness about language use as well as a comparative eye focused on English and French’s stylistic and structural preferences. Grammar and lexical development will also be on offer and will highlight points where the two languages converge and diverge. Thematically, we will examine questions surrounding translating race/class and gender as we focus on translation as a form of cultural mediation. Workshops will allow us to share our work and develop new strategies.
