Alison Entrekin

Online literary translation workshops

Our focus this term (Term 1, 2023) will be:

  1. Translating the untranslatable. What is truly possible/impossible? Grande Sertão: Veredas and other texts.
  2. Accents, dialect, slang and scatology in literature
 
As previous participants know, the syllabus is flexible. I have a map of where we are going, but sometimes we meander, take detours or spend longer on certain things according to the interests of each group.
 
Homework will be discussed in class.

Estou amando suas aulas. O jeito focado e relaxado. A porosidade. E com a cabeça a mil.
Lúcia Leãopoet, writer and translator
This class was transformational for me and could not have come at a better time, when I concretely am able to put so much of what we address in your class into practice in my literary translation projects. Thank you once again for being a phenomenal teacher.
