Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The lecture is understood as an introduction to new debates and perspectives that have developed in the field of translation studies over the last ten years. In particular, two very important and inseparably connected areas are discussed. In the first part of the course, the relationship between translation and space is examined, including concepts such as "translation zone," "translation sites," and "spacious translation." In the second part of the lecture, the relationship between translation and ecology is deepened, addressing the question of why it is important to apply the concept of ecology to translation. Furthermore, we will explore how the translation of literary texts can best be carried out in a "slow" manner.
