Interlingual Mediation

wöch.

Students shall be introduced to the challenging and fascinating activity of translating different types of texts.

In this course we will deal with various practical aspects of interlingual mediation between English and German, dealing with texts ranging from from literature and film to cookbooks, travel brochures, instruction manuals, newspaper articles and magazine stories.

We will analyse translations produced by professional translators as well as produce our own German - or English - versions of short passages taken from authentic texts. Students are invited to make their own suggestions regarding texts they would like to analyse or translate in class.
