This
class is intended for students who have had at least three years of Japanese and
who can read at the advanced level. Through practice, students are encouraged
to think about the nature and limits of translation within the Japanese
context. While focusing on the techniques and craft of translation, students
are also introduced to translation theory, both Western and Japanese, and
examine well-known translations by comparing source and target texts. Students
will be introduced to various translation approaches in different genres, and
will have the opportunity to complete their own translation projects as part of
the class. Prerequisite: JAPN 302 or equivalent. Class
