Università Roma Tre

From poetic translation to specialized translation

Students will achieve competences in theoretical and practical translation through the study of a great variety of language and literary texts. Various text analysis tools and techniques will be introduced and literary genres will be explored in their socio-cultural context. Students will be able to critically analyze, interpret and recreate texts at various levels of complexity according to a comparative method which will allow them to examine and understand the process of translating as the result of a specific spatial and temporal context.
