This course is meeting in Kent 522A
Team-Taught by Souleymane Bachir Diagne and Peter Connor.
This course will explore the significance of translation as “putting languages in touch” (Antoine Berman) and creation of reciprocity and equality even in situations of linguistic asymmetry and inequality. Foundational texts of translation studies will be discussed in connection with the notion of an “ethics of translation”. Particular emphasis will be put on an examination of translation in a colonial context.
