Interpret&TransReasrch&Prac II

Comp Lit 482 is the second part of a two-semester Certificate in the study of interpreting and translation across a range of contexts. In this course, students will continue to build on the knowledge and skills they acquired in the previous semester. The course is structured around four social and professional domains in which interpreting and translation play a significant role: Diplomatic, Healthcare, Business, and the Law (Court/Prison/Police, International Tribunals and Truth and Reconciliation Committees).

Greek Tragedy/Stage & Screen

This course explores classical Greek Tragedy and modern cinema's relationship with Greek tragedy. We will study ten plays in translation to examine the structure and aesthetics of tragedy and its historical, social, cultural, religious, and political function in fifth-century BCE Athens. The reading of each tragedy will be paired with the screening of at least one film. This course will proceed, not by privileging each classical tragedy as a source text and each film as the target text, but rather by viewing them as two autonomous texts that bear a relationship.
