(FILM 388) The (Un)Translatable Spaces of Contemporary Spain

4 Credits

This seminar delves into the act of translation both as a nexus of comprehension between languages and cultures but also as a medium of signification of habits and ways of life in times of globalization. Concentrating specifically on contemporary Spain impacted by technological growth and economic stagnation, our seminar will examine works of art, literature, film, and poetry that bring to light the power of translation as well as its limits in the circulation of languages, customs, politics and cultures.
