Course content
The aim of the course is to comprehensively prepare neo-Ellenists for theoretical comprehension and practical implementation of acts of intercultural communication based on theoretical knowledge and practical skills, primarily consecutive interpretation, abstracting and annotating materials in native and foreign languages, editing translated texts, and researching translation issues. The first part, "General Humanitarian and Linguistic-Philosophical Problems of Translation Studies," is intended to develop an understanding of the complexity of translation studies methodology and the multidisciplinarity of translation studies; to form an idea of the procedural and productive nature of translation, and to develop skills in the stage-by-stage translation process. The second part, "The Place of Translation in the Literary Polysystem," forms an idea of the principles of developing a translation norm for the translation of fiction as a flexible system of parameters in a state of opposition, the content of the main parameters of the translation of a literary text, the principles of their organization into a system established by the culture of the target language, the relationship between literary translation and cultural space.
