This course aims to introduce students to the history of translation from both Western and Chinese perspectives. Students will learn the evolution of thoughts about translation through studying extracts of articles by Chinese and Western thinkers as well as examples of translation to understand the various approaches and methodologies in their cultural, social, and historical contexts. The course provides opportunities for students to deepen their knowledge of translation studies and prepare them for higher level content of the discipline.
Priority will be given to students enrolled in the Major or Minor Program in English to Chinese Translation. Other students will be admitted as space permits.
