Trefnydd: Prof Helena Miguelez-Carballeira

1. Understand the evolution of Translation Studies as an academic discipline and the seminal theoretical debates held from its emergence in the late 70s to the present.
2. Demonstrate an ability to apply theoretical notions to the study of translations of different textual typologies (literature, cinema, criticism).
3. Understand the importance of translation as a mode of cultural negotiation.

During this course, you will be introduced to the discipline of Translation Studies as has emerged and developed in the past three decades. Through the study of a number of seminal works, you will be guided through contemporary debates about the theory and practice of translation, including the controversy around such concepts as 'equivalence', 'manipulation', 'power differentials', feminist, 'queer', and postcolonial debates. Time will be devoted to the study of both textual and audiovisual translation. Practical cases and examples, in a variety of modern languages, will be considered in the light of the theoretical debates covered.
