Translation, Cross-cultural Communication, and the Media is an introductory seminar on translation theory and practice that is grounded in fundamental questions, ideas, and methods of analysis in the humanities, specifically language and culture. Students engage with a wide range of texts including, literature, song lyrics, film and
television subtitles, painting, photography, journalism and advertising. By examining different translation theories and methods, students are exposed to a plurality of perspectives, creatively analyzing the problems of translation and applying critical methods to solve those problems. Knowledge of a language other than English is not required. (Gen. Ed. AL, G)
