EDEB 623 Theories of Literary Translation

This course introduces the student to the various theoretical frameworks that have been proposed, since the beginning of the nineteenth century and up to the present day, in order to conceptualize literary translation: as an intellectual endeavor, as a literary practice; as a mode of circulation, and as a vector of cultural contact. In the course, students will familiarize themselves with a broad range of major theoretical texts and key notions in translation studies, thereby acquiring skills for the study and criticism of translated literary texts. In addition to seminal texts in the Western tradition of this field, the course places a particular emphasis on the practice of literary translation in Turkish and Middle Eastern contexts. The course is open to graduate students in Turkish Literature, in other language and literature departments, as well as in other graduate programs at Bilkent University. Credit units: 3 ECTS Credit units: 5.
