LI 416 - Cultural Translations

This class explores this history of translation and offers the means through which students can learn the transnational literacy that is necessary for translating cultures today. Through reading a series of texts on and in translation, it illustrates the difference between the way a text conveys its truth to its particular cultural context and the knowledge conveyed to the reader at large. The aim of this class is to offer students tools through which they can act in an ethical way, a political way, when it comes to cultural translations in a global cultural context. Fulfills the Global Diversity requirement.
