Learning outcomes

The course is designed to provide the student with:

- a knowledge of critical issues in translation theories and studies (methods, criticism, description vs. prescription, etc.), with a particular emphasis on Italian theories of translation in XXth Century.
- a language (vocabulary) and discourse (manner) for “talking” about translation.
- a critical skill to analyze and compare different interlinguistic translations of a literary source text.

Program

This course will:
- deal with the main topics faced by modern Translation Studies, such as the couple theory-practice, reflection-experience, acceptability-adequacy, source-target text;
- analyze key terms in the field of Translation Studies, as interlingual, intralingual and intersemiotic translation, domestication, foreignization, manipulation, movement, poetics, constraints, translation project, translation purpose, ethics of translation, productive criticism etc.;
- analyze interlingual translations of a number of literary texts presenting specific formal constraints (as proverbs and puns), and also different intersemiotic translations of the same source-text.
To support the teaching and to integrate the exam, students will have Power Point slides available. Non-attending students must contact the teacher to agree on the exam topics.
