EC An interdisciplinary approach to translation

This course brings together two approaches to translation studies: first, the study of diverse English retranslations of canonical texts (Homer, Beowulf, Ovid, Racine…), and second, the role of translation in the language learning process, through the lens of psycholinguistics. The  cultural or aesthetic translation strategies brought to light in the retranslations, in relation to their societal, literary or historical contexts, are considered in connection with language learning and the subject. Parallels can thus be drawn between translation as an agent of division or healing in society, and within the self.
