Teaching method
The introduction to each topic will, whenever possible, be made through the presentation of an excerpt of an original text and its translation in the historical moment that will be the object of that session or series of sessions (e.g. the last scene of \"King Lear\" and its rewriting by Ducis). Students will analyze both texts and draw inferences regarding, for instance, the historical and theoretical background of that particular rendition. After this stage of elicitation the teacher will expound, as interactively as possible, on the contents of each topic. As each topic is covered, students will be asked to take part in the analysis of the historical importance of translation at a given moment and in the explanation and discussion of aspects of continuity and/or variation in relation to other periods and different nations.
Evaluation method
