RUSS 38.22 Language Ideologies in Literary and Media Translation

Our focus in this course will be on translation as an ideological weapon, with the capacity for far-reaching misrepresentation of key political and cultural concepts and messages. Such misrepresentation has proliferated in recent times, not least through translations that have been mediated by the Russian language or through deliberately misleading translations. We will use tools including corpus linguistic approaches, pragmatics, and theories of discourse to provide a new perspective on language ideologies.
