The emphasis of the course will be on the craft and art of translation, and students will be asked to engage critically with their own translation work. The course will require students to complete an original translation and to draft a short essay reflecting on their approach to translation. Required Texts Esther Allen and Susan Bernofsky.

After Babel. New York: Oxford University Press, 1975. Requirements 1. Students will be required to bring a short previously published translation (about 2-5 pages) to each class session. This translation may be a complete translation of a single work, an excerpt from a long poem, a selection of verses from an anthology, prose, poetry, technical writing, legal work etc. You may bring different versions of the same translation to class over the course of the term. These may include your translations as well. You may choose to bring a translation of a work in a language in which you are fluent. I encourage you to choose also works in languages in which you’re not fluent. 2. A brief reflection on the translation (no more than 500 words). This is not necessarily an evaluate critique of the translation (ie. is it good or bad), although it can be. Rather, it is a means to engage with the translation as a product and translation as a process at the point(s)/moment(s) of reception. 3. A short translation of your own. You will work on the same translation over the course of the quarter. So, choose your text (a poem, an excerpt of an essay etc.) with care. You will revise and rework the same translation over the course of the quarter. The theory we read, the works you select, and your short reflective essays on the previously published translation should inform your process of revision. This is a means to engage with translation as a product and translation as a process at the point(s)/moment(s) of creation. Your translation here maybe mediated through another language. You can choose to work collaboratively with another person in producing a translation. 4. A final essay on your translation explicating your process, your method and your approach. You will include 3-5 versions of your translation along with your essay. Grading Class attendance and participation are required and constitute 50% of the course grade. Translation efforts over the course of the quarter will not be graded. The remaining 50% of the grade will be based on the final essay. Final Essays are due on Monday, December 11, 2015 by 12 noon. All papers are due as hard copies.

  • A Comparison Between the Translation Dichotomies Suggested by Juliane House and Lawrence Venuti

Journal of Practical Studies in Education, 1(2), 9-15 DOI: https://doi.org/10.46809/jpse.v1i2.13 Copyright © 2020 by author(s) and Global Talent Academy Ltd. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY 4.0). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Juliane House has split translation into “overt” and “covert” types. Translation has been classified by Lawrence Venuti into “domestication” and “foreignization”. This research attempted to compare the translation typologies rendered by House and Venuti. House’ and Venuti’s translation typologies are similar in 8 points and differ in 4 ones. Overt translation corresponds to foreignization and covert translation to domestication. Dichotomy is neither superior nor inferior to the others. Keywords: Overt Translation, Covert Translation, Foreignization, Domestication, Cultural Filter, Translator’s Invisibility 1. Introduction Communication is a complex and dynamic process. It has a message sender and a message receiver. The former encodes the meaning into a form that the latter recognizes. The receiver decodes the form back into meaningful messages.

  • Venuti, “Translation and Pedagogy,”
    327 TRANSLATION AND THE PEDAGOGY OF LITERATURE Lawrence Venuti he reflections that follow derive fundamentally from the current predicament of English-language translation in the global cultural economy. English remains the most translated language worldwide, but one of the least trans lated into. The translations issued by British and American publishers com Iprise about 2 percent of their total output each year, approximately 1200 to 1400 books, whereas in many foreign countries, large and small, west and east, the per centage tends to be significantly higher: 6 percent in Japan approximately 2500 books, 10 percent in France 4000, 14 percent in Hungary 1200, 15 percent in Germany 8000, 25 percent in Italy 3000 Grannis 1993. This asymmetry in translation patterns ensures that the United States and the United Kingdom enjoy a hegemony over foreign countries that is not simply political and economic, as the particular case may be, but cultural as well. The international sway of English, furthennore, coincides with the marginality of translation in contemporary Anglo-American culture. Although British and Amer ican literature circulates in many foreign languages, commanding the capital of many foreign publishers, the translating of foreign literatures into English attractsrelatively little investment and notice. Translation is underpaid, critically unrecognized, and largely invisible to English-language readers. The power of Anglo-American culture abroad has limited the circulation of foreign cultures at home, decreasing the domes tic oppommities for thinking about the nature of linguistic and cultural difference. Of course, no language can entirely exclude the possibility of different dialects and discourses, different cultural codes and constituencies.

  • How Comp Lit Continues to Suppress Translated Texts Lawrence Venuti
    boundary 2 Hijacking Translation: How Comp Lit Continues to Suppress Translated Texts Lawrence Venuti Uneven Developments Academia is slow to change. The snag, as Pierre Bourdieu observed, is resistance to new ideas, which favors those that currently enjoy authority in a particular field.1 Academics harbor an anti- intellectualism, ironically, bred by the splintering of intellectual labor into so many institutional com- partments. To specialize, however productive the yield in quantity and depth of knowledge, is to clap on a set of blinders. Take the field of comparative literature. It originated in late nineteenth- century Europe, and from the mid- 1950s onward it was firmly established in the United States, housed in departments and programs at many academic This essay began as a comment on the panel “Debating World Literature” at the Institute for World Literature at Harvard University, June 28, 2013.

  • Venuti on Translation
    The Translator’s Invisibility The Translator’s Invisibility provides a thorough and critical examination of translation from the seventeenth century to the present day. It shows how fluency prevailed over other translation strategies to shape the canon of foreign literatures in English, and it interrogates the ethnocentric and imperialist cultural consequences of the domestic values that were simultaneously inscribed and masked in foreign texts during this period. In tracing the history of translation, Lawrence Venuti locates alternative translation theories and practices which make it possible to counter the strategy of fluency, aiming to communicate linguistic and cultural differences instead of removing them. Using texts and translations from Britain, America and Europe he elaborates the theoretical and critical means by which translation can be studied and practiced as a locus of difference, recovering and revising forgotten translations to establish an alternative tradition. Lawrence Venuti is Professor of English at Temple University, Philadelphia, and has been a professional translator for the past fifteen years. He is the editor of Rethinking Translation: Discourse, Subjectivity, Ideology.

  • Foreignization and Domestication in the Croatian Translations of Oscar Wilde’S the Picture of Dorian Gray
    14.2-3 (2013): 537-548 UDC 81'255.4=111 Original scientific article Received on 20.03. 2013 Accepted for publication on 18.09. 2013 Goran Schmidt Josip Juraj Strossmayer University Osijek Foreignization and domestication in the Croatian translations of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray The paper presents results of a diachronic study on foreignization and domes- tication in the three Croatian translations of Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. The study identifies the translation strategies that may be termed as foreignizing or domesticating, compares the three translations in order to see to what extent those strategies are used in the different translati- ons and whether there is a diachronic change. The linguistic, cultural, political and other implications of using one or the other strategy are considered. Key words: foreignization; domestication; translation studies; diachronic. 1. Introduction The terms foreignization and domestication were introduced into translation studies (TS) by Lawrence Venuti (1995). Although readily associated with Venuti, these terms do not represent new concepts. Domestication has been known at least since ancient Rome, and foreignization at least since the Classical and Romantic periods of German culture (Venuti 1998b: 240ff.). Foreignization and domestication are translation strategies, but also ethical categories because they include a certain deg- ree of distortion of the original text.

The present paper seeks an objective way to test the plausibility and practical applicability of the domestication/foreignization dichotomy in TS.
