DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to provide advanced instruction and supervised practice in translation from English into French and from French into English. During the course, students will be working with texts of moderate to high difficulty. Several genres will be encountered, including extracts from novels, essays, theater, short stories, and songs in both languages. The course includes both theory and supervised practice of translation. Using the selected texts, we will explore the challenges linked to the place of the individual in contemporary society: identity and family relationships, identity and relationships with others, social condition, normalcy, and collective consciousness.
