This module is concerned with the theory and practice of translation and intercultural studies. It is suited to professionally-oriented students and, more generally, to those interested in the processes of culture, communication and language. The module is available to all students, but may be of particular relevance to those taking English, Cultural/ Media and Gender Studies, Languages and Linguistics. The course draws on key theoretical issues and practical methodologies of cultural and linguistic translation. In a world where cross-cultural communication has global applicability, translation should be viewed not only as a linguistic end-product, but also as a process profoundly influenced by, and influencing, complex socio-cultural dynamics.
