Inhalt:
This course critically explores the intersections between the three fields of cultural production “translation”, “image” and “text.”

Individual and group-work in-class discussions and exercises will be used to explore practical & theoretical dimensions.

We will read across a diverse range of studies and disciplines. A particular focus will be on drawing links with your own experience in the translation industry and/or translation studies & research.

Activities & Skills:

• Identify key theoretical approaches relevant to the study of the intersection of translation, image & text
  
• Critically examine the relationship between image and text related to your own translation experience, public & scholarly discussions
  
• Study and evaluate text-image constructions of “the translator” in different media (social, print, film)
  
• Identify the wider socio-political mechanisms that intertwine translation and multi-media publications
  
• Explore available visual and textual avenues for translators to create a public profile
