Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Thesis writing is an intense, peculiar, and a most important process within academic study, and in Tibetan and Buddhist Studies translation is a crucial part of it. This seminar intends to provide you with the tools and skills to succeed in your project and opens perspectives for your future career. The course serves 1) as a platform to present, discuss, and decisively advance M.A. and Ph.D. projects. Advanced students who are only planning a master thesis or a doctorate are most welcome. We will learn about effective thesis planning, the phases and issues of the thesis process, and the ups and downs one encounters during academic writing. 2) In this semester, we will mainly focus on the actual translations that you are working with and that are vital when dealing with textual sources. To that end, each of you will select and circulate some passages that we will then read together. Doing so, we will not only examine grammatical details, but discuss what “establishing a text,” and “translation” might mean and what issues you encounter when translating as a researcher. We will add input from translation theories and philology to accompany this process. In this way, students also advance their knowledge about relevant research tools in the field of Tibetology and Buddhist Studies.
