Seminar on translation I will introduce some of the ground principles, meaning, and challenges of working with translation and experiences as a translator. Together we will read excerpts from literary texts that deal with translation in both linguistic, conceptual, and visual ways, and use the seminar to prepare for the upcoming seminar with writer and translator Don Mee Choi. Some of the texts we will read and look at in class are: AZUL by Christina Quintana; Dictee by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha; DMZ Colony and Translation is a Mode=Translation is an Anti-neocolonial Mode by Don Mee Choi; Talk by Maja Lee Langvad.
