This seminar looks at ways in which specific authors/works/genres pass into other cultures through translation. We will look at three genres ' children's literature, drama, and crime fiction ' and for each one, we will analyse the genre, identify challenges in translating it, discuss strategies, and examine examples of relevant works, using close textual analysis to see how translators can tackle problems of linguistic, stylistic, and cultural difference. We will then practice translating texts from that genre.
