Translation Studio (4 sessions)

This workshop is designed for creative writers who want to explore the art of literary translation. We will examine different translations of sample texts, discuss various theories/approaches to translation, and do in-class exercises; but class time will focus primarily on “workshopping” participants’ translations. As such, students should come to class with an idea of one or more short texts they would like to translate from any language/genre into English. (Translations in progress are also welcome.) Discover how the creative process of translation can enhance your skills as a writer and how your writing skills can enhance your translations. Note: No Class 11/12.
