What are the greatest critical theories that helped shape our modern world? How are these ideas translated across geopolitical and cultural contexts? How did they help people envision a different way to live, think, and love? This course examines how some of the greatest thoughts and ideas that shaped our modern world get translated. We will look at key thinkers, their texts, the social, cultural, and political contexts of their times and that of their translators. We will discuss the role of translation in facilitating cross-cultural exchanges and societal changes.
