講義題目 /Subtitle The centrality of ‘relevance’ in the context of literary translation
授業の目標、概要 /Course Objectives/ Overview
The course aims at introducing students to the key features of translation theory and praxes by means of a thorough rethinking of the main stances of the most relevant among current theories concerning literary translation and the canonization of literature. The course will exemplify the epistemological challenge that the act of translation entails in a linguistic context as highlighted, among others, by Roman Jakobson in his 1959 essay ‘On the linguistic aspects of translation’, and will build on the theorization of linguists and semioticians such as Jakobson and Eco in order to delve deeply into the benefits and limitations of the interpretation of the translation as a semiotic act. The course will focus on the relevance of retranslating canonical literature for non-erudite readers and audiences, and will therefore also help students define what can be termed as a classic text in relation to the canon formation issues raised at the onset of modernity, and experience first-hand the inner work that the translator undergoes in order to convey the aesthetic and intellectual perception of uniqueness of the literary product’s peculiar moods of expressions among several distinct categories and genres (such as prose fiction and narratives, poetry, theatre).
授業のキーワード /Keywords Translation theory and practice 翻訳の理論と実践 , Literary translation 文学作品の翻訳, Canonization, Classics
授業計画/Schedule
The course will entail a series of classes into which the theoretical explanation of the course’s content will alternate with guided translation exercise sessions and collective discussions. During classes, students will be encouraged to actively participate in the discussion by providing comments and feedback over the critical insights gained throughout the practical sessions and the underlying discussion upon the theoretical stances of the reference bibliography of the course.
授業の方法 /Teaching Methods
成績評価方法 /Grade Evaluation Students’ proficiency and mastery of the theoretical and practical goals of the course will be assessed by written reports to be submitted either during classes or as final assignment and oral examination as well as active participation to class discussions and forums.
履修上の注意 /Notes on Taking the Course
The course will focus on how to critically assess the relevance and limitations of the main stances of modern translation theorists in regard with the specific act of translating belles-lettres. To accomplish the teaching goal of the course, students will therefore be encouraged to put into practice the theories reviewed during the theoretical part of the course by means of a prolonged and extensive engagement commenting edited translation excerpts, as well as attempt translations on their own, either from a classical language into modern renditions (intralinguistic level) or from a language into another (interlinguistic level), on the basis of the main languages used in class. Students who do not feel comfortable with their command of a foreign language will therefore be able to, and encouraged to, produce translations directly into modern Japanese using literary excerpts from Japanese antiquity, or early modern literature.
