Teaching method
Teaching:
The course will be based on the discussion of current relevant research. As the course progresses, several
texts will be proposed for individual previous reading and discussion in class. Classes will thus have the
format of a seminar. Some case studies of creative translation will be presented, providing students the
opportunity to develop a critical competence for creativity in translation.
Evaluation method
Assessment:
Active participation in class (30%), oral presentation (30%) and final written assignment (40%).
