Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Among the central concepts of contemporary political discourse are "diversity" and "inclusion". They articulate not only the normative self-understanding of organizations (such as universities and companies) but of entire societies in the question of how to deal with the diversity of their personnel. The fact that translation is of particular importance in this context is not only evident through the refugee issue. The experience of linguistic and cultural diversity and its translational processing has long become commonplace and normal.
The lecture takes this situation as an opportunity to raise some basic questions in translation studies and to discuss them with the help of different perspectives and approaches: What does 'difference' mean? Is there a difference between 'difference', 'diversity', 'plurality' and 'diversity'? How is and has it been understood in translation studies? Are linguistic and cultural differences objectively given causes for translation? Or are these differences produced by translation in the first place? Are there other differences that play a role in translation, such as gender, age, religion, but also the difference between man and machine (keyword: machine translation)?
The aim of this lecture is to provide the participants with analytical instruments that enable them to bring cognitive order into a complex field of phenomena.
