Holocaust/Exile in Translation

The Holocaust and Exile in Translation
Readers across the globe have learned about the atrocities of the Holocaust through translation. Translators have transferred testimonials about concentration camps, exile, and resistance into many languages. In this course, we study how translators have shaped this vibrant literature according to the priorities of different cultural communities. Combining theory and praxis, we analyze the multilingual journeys of influential works such as The Diary of Anne Frank through a translation studies lens. Students will also translate texts from various genres including autobiography, children’s and young adult literature, and subtitle testimonial footage. (Advanced skills in one language in addition to English required). 3 hrs. lect.
