ENGLISH TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING |
Course Objective |
This course aims to explore the intersection zone between translation and philosophy. It seeks to reconceptualize the central problems and theories in translation studies in the light of various philosophical disicplines. The role and value attributed to translation in the founding texts of philosophy of language, culture and history will be under scrutiny. The relationship of the fundamental concepts of translation studies with the analyses of meaning and social communication conducted by the philosophy of language will also be under focus. Students will critically analyze the function of translation as a tool for the education of philosophy with particular examples from the history of translation. |
