TRST 404

Credit: 3 OR 4 hours.

Studies selected writings by authors published bilingually to reflect on the ways in which the practice of translation may be informed by self-translation, and to encounter biographical aspect of bilingualism that directly relates to translators' self-perception and the experience of translation. The emphasis is on how authors' strategies in self-translation compare with the strategies of a translator and how bilingualism relates to self, creativity, national identity, and politics.
