Translation theories

Does something like ‘translation theory’ really exist? Surely there are – and there have been – many different theoretical approaches to this activity. The class offers a diachronic and synchronic overview of the main positions in translation studies. Theoretical lessons will alternate with practical exercises (and homeworks) in translation from German into Italian.
