A History of Translation

Catalog description

In the modern world, issues of translation and intercultural communication arise everywhere: in literary texts, on the Internet, on the screen, in business, in science, and in many other domains. This course is designed to explore the history, nature, and practice of the discipline of translation, with a particular emphasis on the historical development of ideas about translation and translation practices from antiquity until today. (Students will receive credit for ENG 3880 or CMP 3880, not both. These courses may substitute for each other with the F-replacement policy.)
