Course Details

Country: Korea, South
Institution: Yonsei University
Course Title: TRANSLATION PRACTICUM: KOREAN CLASSICAL POETRY INTO ENGLISH
Course Number: ELL8431-01
Course Description: This course has no theory and plenty of practice, as students will engage in translations of Korean classical literature. We will be translating classical poetry written in Sino-Korean(Hanja 한자) and also in Hangul. As many of your will not be familiar with Sino-Korean literature, we begin with an exploration into such poems, learning to analyze them and doing translations in small volumes. We will also be comparing our translations with each other and, more importantly, with available translations that have already been published. The volume of translation will gradually increase. Finally we will embark on a project that involves translating a substantial cultural work of the student`s choice (of course, with my guidance).
