Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
After a brief overview of early reflections which translators (often: of the Bible) made on their activity (often subsumed under the catchword "historical dilemma"), we shall look at the current paradigms of Translation Studies and the models of the translation process proposed by them. A central concept, at least during the first few decades, is the concept of equivalence. From very early, scholars have tried to correlate text types and translation strategies. The most popular of these text typologies is the one elaborated by Katharina Reiß, who even tried to integrate her typology into the skopos-theoretical approach proposed by Hans J. Vermeer, an attempt which is criticized for not being compatible with a stringent skopos approach. In the last unit we shall therefore propose a typology of translations instead of a text typology in order to offer a solution to the "historical dilemma".
