Course Objective

Cognitive Stylistics and Narratology are the two recent research fields aiming to reveal the features of the texts to be translated. More than the previous stylistic studies the texts are scrutinized within the norms of the cultures they are produced without ignoring the writers which have created them. This course will create an awareness on the students on these recent tendencies and have them examine the Turkish literary texts translated into English within the years according to the norms created with their new awareness.

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The sources suggested for this course are mainly two different types. The first group of sources include the recently published academic books and articles. The students are expected to skim and scan them before they come to class. After the necessary theoretical knowledge and common terminology is gained through this period case studies begin. The translations made from Turkish into English throughout the long years are scrutinized in this process. The translations are grouped, evaluated and criticised in the light of the recently gained knowledge. Students prepare individual responses to the given cases and come to class ready to present them.
