Course description
The course provides an introductory, practical, and methodological exploration of Spanish ¿ English translation through critical engagement with a diverse range of Spanish source texts. These texts span various genres and types, including journalistic, scientific, literary, graphic novels, and subtitles, representing regions from across the Spanish-speaking world. These materials will serve as catalysts for collective analysis of key translation issues and the deconstruction of hegemonic language ideologies, power dynamics, and intersectional biases inherent in the translation process. This approach encourages students to contextually question, resist, and subvert dominant paradigms. This course aims to consolidate and advance students¿ linguistic competence to B2.2 Level on the CEFR language proficiency scale,¿through the lens of translation.
