Learning outcomes

Students will get familiar with the specific features of literary translation. The topics are selected in a way that the seminar will give space to discussion and creative approach to literary translation. As recommended in the Czech translatological tradition, we shall accentuate both the linguistic and extralinguistic approaches. In the first term of this facultative discipline we shall work predominantly with parallel Czech and Russian texts and analyze and evaluate translations by prominent Czech translators. Students will come up with their own solutions to the translatological problems and give each other a feedback.
Students will get familiar with the specific features of literary translation and will acquire the skills to translate literary texts and evaluate creatively the translated texts.
