Provide a Concise Description of the Proposed Change Add ENGL 212 World Literature II to the list of courses approved to meet IGR #2 Cultural Awareness and Social and Environmental Responsibility. Section 2. Provide the Effective Date for the Proposed Change Fall 2014 Section 3. Provide a Detailed Reason for the Proposed Change The components of ENGL 212 World Literature II course correspond with the IGR #2 objectives, and thus the department seeks approval and inclusion of ENGL 212 on the designated list of IGR #2 courses. Section 4. Provide Clear Evidence that the Proposed Modification will Address the Specified Goals and Student Learning Outcomes IGR #2 goals and SLO’s are detailed below, along with specific means by which this course will address each goal and achieve each objective. This course description is provided here for reference. Course Description: ENGL 212 World Literature II: Selected works of world literature in translation since the Renaissance. ENGL 211 and 212 need not be taken in sequence. Goal: Students will acquire knowledge about the world's peoples - their cultures, arts, and environments - that prepares them for further study, deepens their understanding of the human condition, and strengthens their commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Student Learning Outcomes: As a result of taking ENGL 212, students will be able to: 1. Articulate the ways in which different peoples express an understanding of the human condition and respond to environmental opportunities and constraints, 2. Describe how personal choices derive from and affect social, cultural, and environmental ATTACHMENT II 11 2 IGR #2 – ENGL 212 World Literature II contexts, 3. Engage in aesthetic experience in order to understand artistic expression and to learn how meaning emerges from the cultural contexts of both artist and audience, and Student learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3 will be addressed in written assignments and discussions. ENGL 212 World Literature II pays particular attention to people’s written expression of their understanding of the human condition, including genre, form, and style. The temporal scope of the class allows reviews how many concepts have evolved over the centuries, and insight into ideas about issues such as tolerance, gender and racial equality, and appropriate behavior as they were expressed in earlier times provides students with a context for understanding them in our own. These outcomes will be assessed as described above. 4. Explain the ethical consequences of decisions and actions concerning the environment to strengthen commitment to local, national, and global citizenship. Each course meeting this goal includes the following student learning outcomes: Required: #1, #2, and #3, or #1, #2, and #4 Section 5.

Course Description: Selected works of world literature in translation since the Renaissance. ENGL 211 and 212 need not be taken in sequence. 3 credits. Prerequisite: ENGL 101. Additional Description: This course will be taught entirely through Desire-to-Learn (D2L). It will consist of extensive reading, writing, and discussion and will require weekly posting to a discussion group and the completion of three analytical essays. System General Education Requirements and Student Learning Outcomes: English 212 meets Goal 4 of the System General Education Requirements, which is that “Students will understand the diversity and complexity of the human experience through study of the arts and humanities.” The course includes five of the student learning outcomes for courses meeting Goal 4. Students taking English 212 will be able to (1) demonstrate knowledge of the diversity of values, beliefs, and ideas embodied in the human experience, (2) identify and explain basic concepts of the selected disciplines within the arts and humanities, (3) Identify and explain the contributions of other cultures from the perspective of the selected disciplines within the arts and humanities, (4) demonstrate creative and aesthetic understanding, (5) and explain and interpret formal and stylistic elements of the literary or fine arts. Institutional Graduation Requirements and Student Learning Outcomes: English 212 can also be used to meet IGR Goal 2: “Cultural Awareness and Social and Environmental Responsibility: Students will acquire knowledge about the world’s peoples – their cultures, arts, and environments – that prepares them for further study, deepens their understanding of the human condition, and strengthens their commitment to social and environmental responsibility.” Note that the course cannot be used to satisfy both the SGR and the IGR requirements.

NucLear D iscourse ancI Its D iscontents, or, ApocAlypsE Now or Never Jean BEThkE ElskrAiN Human beings think most often in images; a terrible or delightful picture comes into our minds and then we seek to find words to express it, to capture it, to make it somehow manageable. Thus it is with the possibility of nuclear war. Our images are fixed. The scenes of utter destruction at Hiroshima and Nagasaki; two cities laid waste; people disappeared, remaining as shadows on cement or persisting in a terrible and painful twilight zone of lingering death from radiation. Or, even years later, moving through the world carrying within them a perceived taint, a threat to themselves and others: “I am one who has been touched in the most frightening way by the most horrible sort of weapon.” I taught a class at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst for five years called “Issues of War and Peace in a Nuclear Age.” Inevitably, we would arrive at the section of the course that required a discussion of the dropping of the atomic bombs in World War 2.

  • Translation Studies As a Transforming Model for the Humanities

    Translation Studies As a Transforming Model for the Humanities

    TRANSLATION STUDIES AS A TRANSFORMING MODEL FOR THE HUMANITIES Lynn Hoggard Dennis M. Kratz Midwestern State University (U.S.A.) The University of Texas at Dallas (U.S.A.) [email protected] [email protected] Rainer Schulte The University of Texas at Dallas (U.S.A.) [email protected] Abstract: The digital revolution that began in the twentieth century and continues today has profound and surprising implications for the role of the humanities in higher education. Three prominent characteristics of the twenty-first century — ubiquitous technology, global interaction, and relentless change — require a new approach to the education that fosters technological expertise, communication across boundaries of language and culture, and creative response to new challenges and opportunities. This situation creates new opportunities for a revitalized role of the humanities in education that combines critical with creative thought and emphasizes communication in a world connected by interactive technology. Literary translation can be a key contributor to the development and implementation of a humanities curriculum for the modern world designed to educate technologically sophisticated, innovative “citizens of the world.” This paper has two sections. The first section sets a conceptual framework; the second suggests ways to apply translation to achieve this 1 goal: both employing translation in a traditional manner and attempting to expand its meaning and implications. Key Words: translation; interpretation; creativity; humanities; education 1. PART ONE: EDUCATION IN THE DIGITAL WORLD The digital revolution that began in the twentieth century and continues today has profound and perhaps surprising implications for the role of the humanities in higher education. Despite superficial differences, from a wide range of sources — among them educators, economists, psychologists, and futurists — there has emerged a consensus of three essential characteristics of our brave new world.
  • Andrzej Kopacki Laudatory Speech for Martin Pollack Good Evening

    Andrzej Kopacki Laudatory Speech for Martin Pollack Good Evening

    Andrzej Kopacki Laudatory Speech for Martin Pollack Good evening, Martin. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Just what does it mean to be a translator? That’s a tricky question and one that has become suspiciously relevant these days. I say “suspiciously relevant” because passing fads and short-lived cultural trends are dodgy by definition. Literary translation has become fashionable. It’s a staple focus of conferences and seminars, symposiums and workshops nowadays. The good old translator, once the wallflower in the ballroom of literature, has suddenly been asked to dance. But the music is not very pleasant because the orchestra seems to be playing—literally—out of tune. It does not seem to know the score, but only abstract concepts hatched in the theory of translation, cultural studies and linguistics. These abstract concepts are apparently needed for the “transcultural” world to reflect on its own globality. Passing fads should not be overestimated; between one ballroom and another, the translator puts on the overalls of a pipefitter of literary works. Things are supposed to be fast and neat. The payment will be made according to the rate set by the works dealer. The name of the man or woman in the overalls, with a black case full of nuts and bolts, seems unimportant. There is no space for it on the website. The face? Who remembers the face of a pipefitter? Yet translators have always been with us. Let’s face it: the vast majority of literary works would have never been known to us had it not been for translators.
