4316560 Translation and Intercultural Studies | OB | 0 | 1 |
Students must have officially enrolled on the master’s degree programme in Translation and Intercultural Studies in the academic year 2020-2021.
This 15-credit module is compulsory for all the programme’s students and provides a theoretical foundation common to both specialisations. Its general objective is for students to become familiar with aspects of interculturalism and plurality and with the crucial linguistic mediation involved in translation and interpreting. It covers anthropological considerations and cultural differences in different continents and countries as bases for correct translation and interpreting, as well as the parameters of discourse analysis, which is key to successfully identifying the time and place of origin of discourse so as to be able to interpret and translate it correctly. The module also includes essential content on translation methodology and is designed to foster the acquisition of knowledge and skills vital to the proper use of the documentation and terminology resources most appropriate to professional specialised translation and research in translation studies and intercultural studies.
