Translation Class

This inter­act­ive class explores the approach and prac­tice of trans­lat­ing clas­sic­al Tibetan lit­er­at­ure. Tak­ing into con­sid­er­a­tion the spheres of aca­demia and Buddhist prac­tice trans­mis­sion, we will address the themes of trans­lat­ing, the role of the trans­lat­or, and meth­ods of trans­la­tion. In addi­tion to allot­ting time for inquir­ies and dis­cus­sion, space is most import­antly offered for a mix­ture of indi­vidu­al and col­lab­or­at­ive in-class trans­la­tion. Be ready to dabble your digits on the key­board, prance your pens on the paper, or silently sit and survey.
