Students will acquire full awareness of what translation is what are the (inter)cultural skills required for the translation of any text. The second part will aim at the acquisition of theoretical tools to be used in the translation practice. Much energy will be devoted to the topic of audiovisual translation (dubbing and subtitling). Theoretical knowledge will be tuned with translation practice in order to foster text analysis competences and enhance the acquisition of translation skills.

An excellent knowledge of Italian is required for the translation of texts from English into Italian.

The course offers an introduction to the Language analysis of both written and spoken varieties of English, moving from a textual perspective. This aims to start a reflection on the mechanisms of language and its use in context, thus setting the basis for further development of intra- and interlanguage awareness during the following two years. Taking the basic levels of language description (phonetics, lexis and syntax) as a starting point, the course will consider their interaction with the textual and the contextual level, as is typical of the discourse analytical perspective.

The lectures treat with the theme of the biological and evolutionary foundations of language. Starting from the study of the relationsheep between language and brain, two theoretical models will be compared: the theories according to which language cannot be explained in terms of natural selection and the models that explain the faculty of language as a biological adaptation.

This course explores (first part) the basic concepts of cultural anthropology and ethnography (culture / s, ethnicity / ethnic groups, cultural relativism / ethnocentrism, racisms, globalization). The ethnographic method will be analyzed from participant observation up to multi-location and multi-vocal research). In this direction the course (second part) studies the anthropology of migrations also focusing on gender and feminist ethnography. The third part of the course examine the concepts relating to the sociocultural representations and uses of bodies in the local dimension and in the global ecumene (body techniques, habitus, incorporation). Therefore, some ethnographic cases will analyze, focusing on the bio-political dimension and the anthropological critique of human rights.The Multisectorial Academic Program to prevent and combat female Genital Mutilation (FGM/C) is an innovative project and one of the case studies of this course.

Mental Illness in the Modern age

The first part of the course (6 CFU) will primarily be characterized by an ample introduction to the methodology with which the fundamental elements of cultural history are delineated. The initial sessions of the course will explore the characteristics of the disease of mental illness in the modern age, including diagnosis, treatment and care.
Mental Illness in the Modern age

In the second part of the course (12 CFU), the social meaning of mental illness and suffering will be analyzed, especially in the first centuries of the modern age, that is to say in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (although there will be no lack of in-depth exploration of these issues, for the most part through a comparison with later and more recent eras). Finally, interdisciplinary incursions will be made into the history of art, literature, philosophy, and the history of cinema.

The main focus of this programme is on translation studies, particularly on the development of different theories and approaches to translation and their applications. The aim of the course is a) to provide students with the essential theoretical background; b) to make students carry out practical sessions and translate a variety of authentic texts from English into Italian; and c) to reflect on translation as an intercultural mediational process and discuss its implications.
Several text typologies will be taken into consideration (e.g. journalism, academic writing, literature, film scripts, manuals, spoken language, etc.), which differ at the level of discourse both in terms of their pragmatic purposes and their lexicogrammar features (e.g. the connections between different language registers and the choice of words, lexical phrases, idioms and morpho-syntactic structures, etc.).
The programme will also take into account the use of advanced tools for translation, e.g. online dictionaries and language corpora.

Outlines of linguistic history of German-speaking countries

The course outlines the polycentric history of the German language from its origins to the present day, contextualizing it in the main cultural transformations in the broadest sense and focusing both on the fundamental importance of literature in shaping a unified German in the 18th century, and on political-social phenomena such as Nazism or the disappearance of the GDR in reunification.

This course explores the many ways in which 'the other', 'the savage', 'the barbarian' has been narrated by English writers from the beginning of the 17th to the end of the 18th century.

B) Lecture (30 HOURS)
**************************
A) The preliminary course provides a grounding in the Old English Language;
B) The course will focus on a prose text drawn from those available in 'A Guide to Old English'; the text will be translated and analyzed from a linguistic as well as a cultural and literary perspective. Issues relating to its transmission will furthermore be considered.

Notes:
- Students enrolled for the L12 Lingue e Mediazione degree must pass the General Linguistics 1 exam before they take the Germanic Philology 1 exam; other students are strongly recommended to do likewise.
- Students are requested to register for the course by sending an e-mail to the lecturer (paolo.vaciago@uniroma3.it) indicating their name and matriculation number.
- Students unable to attend the course in person are requested to contact the lecturer well in advance of the session in which they intend to take the exam.

Going through the notions of language (Saussure), communication (Jakobson) and discourse (Benveniste), up to discourse analysis (Maingueneau) and argumentation theory (Amossy), the course intends to offer a broad excursus on the text as enunciation device midway between Social Science and Science of the Language, following a linguistic-anthropological-cultural approach.

Literature and Society in the French XIXth Century.
Exile writers (from Hugo to Zola); authors and works that are subject to judicial proceedings (Baudelaire, Flaubert); an important rethinking of the role of poetry and literature (from "art pour l'art" to "J'accuse!"): the relationship of XIXth century French literature to society is complex and multifaceted. The course will propose several itineraries through the way novelists and poets have conceived that relationship in their works and their theoretical reflections.

Poetry and Drama in Contemporary Anglophone America: USA, Caribbean, Canada (2nd part)
As categories of literary compositions, literary genres are naturally flexible and open to blending and hybridization. Poetry and drama, in particular, share specific characteristics and often impregnate each other with lyricism and performative qualities. We need only to address the work of modernist poets, the beat and post-modernist generation, great dramatists and post-modern authors of different ethnicities and gender to discover how often those genres mingle to create new subversive blurring. We will aim at reaching an adequate understanding of the significance of genre in contemporary literature.

Literature and Society in the French XIXth Century.
Exile writers (from Hugo to Zola); authors and works that are subject to judicial proceedings (Baudelaire, Flaubert); an important rethinking of the role of poetry and literature (from "art pour l'art" to "J'accuse!"): the relationship of XIXth century French literature to society is complex and multifaceted. The course will propose several itineraries through the way novelists and poets have conceived that relationship in their works and their theoretical reflections.

Poetry and Drama in Contemporary Anglophone America: USA, Caribbean, Canada (2nd part)
As categories of literary compositions, literary genres are naturally flexible and open to blending and hybridization. Poetry and drama, in particular, share specific characteristics and often impregnate each other with lyricism and performative qualities. We need only to address the work of modernist poets, the beat and post-modernist generation, great dramatists and post-modern authors of different ethnicities and gender to discover how often those genres mingle to create new subversive blurring. We will aim at reaching an adequate understanding of the significance of genre in contemporary literature.
Among the authors: W.C. Williams, Kenneth Patchen, Diane Di Prima, Sylvia Plath, Seamus Heaney, Derek Walcott, Bob Dylan, E. Albee, Erin Shields, Djanet Sears, Toni Morrison, Colum McCann.

The module offers an introduction to Discourse Studies as a comprehensive frame for research into the relationship between form and function in language use. Sitting at the interface of disciplines like linguistics, pragmatics, stylistics and rhetoric, Discourse Analysis can enhance students’ analytic capacities and metalinguistic awareness, both from an intra- and an interlinguistic perspective. After outlining general theories that have laid the foundations for an understanding of language as communication, the course will present some fundamental notions for the study of discourse, focusing on different aspects of the discourse situation. These will include the concepts of text type, genre, register, and style, all accounting for the variety of discourse forms as an effect of their function, and concepts related to the presentation of information (foreground vs background, given-new management, explicit vs implicit, evaluation). Special attention will be given to two types of texts: narration and argumentation. Narration will be approached mainly from a stylistic point of view, while argumentation will be addressed drawing in particular on the Pragmadialectical model.

The texts in the reading list are collected in a reader (dispensa), which is made available at the Copiando copy center

Poetry and Drama in Contemporary Anglophone America: USA, Caribbean, Canada (2nd part)
As categories of literary compositions, literary genres are naturally flexible and open to blending and hybridization. Poetry and drama, in particular, share specific characteristics and often impregnate each other with lyricism and performative qualities. We need only to address the work of modernist poets, the beat and post-modernist generation, great dramatists and post-modern authors of different ethnicities and gender to discover how often those genres mingle to create new subversive blurring. We will aim at reaching an adequate understanding of the significance of genre in contemporary literature.
Among the authors: Walt Whitman, Bob Dylan, Kenneth Patchen, Edward Albee,Oh! Calcutta, Derek Walcott, Erin Shields,

Poesia e teatro nell’America anglofona contemporanea: Stati Uniti, Caraibi, Canada (6 cfu)
Generi che si avvicinano per impregnare il teatro di carica lirica e la poesia di carica drammatica sono naturalmente flessibili ed aperti a e ibridizzazione. Poesia e dramma condividono caratteristiche specifiche e si impregnano vicendevolmente di carica lirica e performativa.
E’ sufficiente prendere in considerazione le opere dei maggiori poeti, modernisti, beat e post-modernisti, dei drammaturghi della post-modernità, di diverse etnie e gender per scoprire le modalità in cui I generi si mescolano per creare sconfinamenti sovversivi.
Lo studio condurrà a raggiungere la comprensione adeguata del significato di genere (genre and gender) nella letteratura contemporanea.
Tra gli autori che studieremo: Walt Whitman, Bob Dylan, Kenneth Patchen, Oh! Calcutta, Edward Albee, Derek Walcott.

Literature and Society in the French XIXth Century.
Exile writers (from Hugo to Zola); authors and works that are subject to judicial proceedings (Baudelaire, Flaubert); an important rethinking of the role of poetry and literature (from "art pour l'art" to "J'accuse!"): the relationship of XIXth century French literature to society is complex and multifaceted. The course will propose several itineraries through the way novelists and poets have conceived that relationship in their works and their theoretical reflections.
