Translation & Interpreting Course for LC Master 2 Students

This course is designed for advanced students specializing in Literature and Civilisation at the Master 2 level, focusing on the theory and practice of translation and interpreting. It aims to develop students' translation skills across various literary and non-literary genres, with a special emphasis on cultural nuances and historical contexts. The course explores the interplay between language, literature, and culture, equipping students with techniques for accurately conveying meaning across linguistic and cultural boundaries.

Students will engage with both translation and interpreting exercises, covering written texts, oral presentations, and spontaneous dialogue. Topics include literary translation (prose, poetry, drama), technical and specialized translation, and consecutive and simultaneous interpreting. Special attention will be given to the challenges of translating culturally specific terms, idiomatic expressions, and historical references, as well as the impact of translation on cross-cultural communication.
