Course DescriptionThis course explores Genre Translation as a critical site of cultural translocation and textual criticism. It investigates how distinct literary forms—drama, poetry, prose, and sacred texts—impose unique formal and ideological constraints. Students will analyze translations not merely as linguistic transfers, but as complex products of socio-political manipulation and audience reception.
