Course summary
Our approach centres on cultures of and in translation. We are interested in how translation is theorised and practised in artistic political and social contexts and in different media. We also use translation as an analytical and interdisciplinary tool to illuminate processes of migration displacement cultural production transfer language policy and intellectual histories.
Course Overview
Before you arrive you will be matched to one or more of our expert supervisors and during the course you will meet with them frequently for guidance on the conceptualization research and writing of your Dissertation. This will include reading and discussion of draft material. You will also be expected to participate in the research culture of the School for example by attending research seminars.
Research Themes
Staff working in Translation and Transcultural Studies at Warwick have expertise in a wide range of research areas including cultural translation and transculturalism memory and transcultural studies literary translation sociolinguistics self-translation in multilingual contexts gender and feminist translation studies sociology of translation and history of publishing. The close link between translation and transcultural studies and the language sections (Chinese French German Italian and Hispanic Studies) strengthens the cultural approach to translation seen as cultural exchange and transfer and is one of our distinctive research aspect. Proposals framed in cultural social and political contexts in other languages and not based on linguistic/textual comparative analysis only could be considered depending on topics and approaches within staff research expertise.
Teaching and Learning
