Translation

After a short introduction to Translation Studies we will analyze various arguments of special interest, such as the concept of equivalence, the role of universalistic theories as opposed to the role of relativistic theories, the Skopos Theory and the Scenes & Frames. We will then proceed to practical work, translating some texts, mostly from German to Italian, confronting the structure of some selected syntactic elements of the German Language to the structure of those elements in the Italian Language and analyzing the different possibilities of their translation. We will focus particularly on literary translation.
