THE ART OF LITERARY TRANSLATION: SPANISH TO ENGLISH
To those out there in search of training to do literary translations, here is a course worth taking at The Writer's Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
THE ART OF LITERARY TRANSLATION: SPANISH TO ENGLISH
Instructor: Yvette Neisser Moreno
Dates: 10/20/07 to 11/10/07, Saturdays 2:00-4:30pm
Location: Writer’s Center, 4508 Walsh Street, Bethesda, MD 20815
Fee: $140 for Writer’s Center members, $155 for non-members
This workshop is designed for creative writers who want to explore the exciting, mysterious art of literary translation. No previous translation experience is necessary; however, participants should have experience writing either poetry or creative prose in English (and have strong knowledge of Spanish). By examining different translations of sample texts, doing in-class exercises and experimenting with our own translations, we will discuss the myriad questions that a literary translator faces, such as word choice, sentence structure, tone, rhythm, and sound. Discover how the creative process of translation can enhance your skills as a writer and stimulate your own writing. 4 sessions.
To register, go to Writer.Org or call the Writer's Center at 301-654-8664.
