Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Introduction to narrative theory and stylistics against the background of (literary) translation. Students will learn to analyze literary texts from narratological and stylistic perspectives and learn how this is relevant for the translation of literary texts. Lecture with discussions.

Assessment and permitted materials

For MA Translation (2024) students: part of written module exam (Module LM-01), no semester exam.

For both exams: no aids allowed.
