The University of West Georgia and Artelingua present : FOUND IN TRANSLATION
A translation project in literature to promote a cultural exchange between American and Italian students.
Since last year Artelingua has been a leading partner in the Study Abroad program at the University of West Georgia which focuses on English literature, but also included an intensive Italian language course provided by Artelingua.
This year’s 2014 UWG Study Abroad wants to enrich the relationship with Spoleto by providing even more intercultural exchange opportunities between the university students and real-life
encounters. In the famous movie ” Lost in Translation ” by Sofia Coppola, language itself becomes an insurmountable obstacle. However in our project, FOUND IN TRANSLATION, language turns out to be the essential key to understand each other, to discover and create knowledge.
What you can expert:
- 2/3 meetings focused on literary translation from Italian into English.
The first meeting will be coordinated by Prof. Chad Davidson, Associate Prof. in English Literature at the University of West Georgia (USA) and Director of the Study Abroad program.
The Italian students who participate in the program will work closely together with the American students either in pairs or in small groups.
- OBJECTIVE : to create an English literary piece of work from Italian.
Conclusion and public presentation of the work (either at the Municipal Library or at Artelingua ).
The activities are free for Artelingua students .
