This workshop 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.
