課程目標：

Course objectives: This theory and practice-based course seeks to provide students with conceptual and practical tools for motivating the act of translation, reassessing prevalent binaries in conceptualizing translation, translation as a public service and projects of foreignization, translation, and mediation that involve inter/intra relations of languages, mediums, forms and fields. To do so, we will weigh in on relevant theoretical resources by exemplifying the practice of translation.

評量配分比重：

Work for the course:

1.     Course attendance & weekly exercises: 30%

Students are expected (i) to attend weekly—the student will automatically fail the course with more than two absences. And, (ii) to engage and participate actively in each weekly discussion which will involve a close reading of a text and the completion of a translation exercise. Please examine references with a curious and patient attitude based on assigned weekly questions/directions.

2.     Collective midterm assignment: 30%

Students are expected to prepare, draft, and hand in a midterm translation exercise. The midterm translation exercise will involve an exemplification of weekly references corresponding to the first half of the semester. The instructor will provide a list of specific guidelines for the midterm assignment two weeks before the deadline.

3.     Final assignment: 35%

Students are expected to prepare, draft, and hand in a final translation exercise. The final translation exercise will involve an exemplification of weekly references corresponding to the second half of the semester. The instructor will provide a list of specific guidelines for the midterm assignment two weeks before the deadline.

Weekly attendance, completion of translation exercises, active and careful analysis of references are all necessary to get ready for the midterm and final assignments.
