Learning Objectives
The course aims at providing methods, strategies and adequate tools for understanding, translating and rewriting children and young adult literary texts of Iberian area (LIJE). It will start from a brief presentation of the LIJE and then move on, through an in-depth analysis of the main theories on translation, rewriting and adaptation process, to practice through analysis and comparison between published versions of selected texts, and a constant translation and rewriting exercise. The course aims at encouraging reflection on linguistic and formal reworking process of a text in relation to a series of extra- and paratextual factors, such as the expressive needs and previous knowledge of the new model reader, the frequent presence of illustrations and the didactic-pedagogical function generally attributed to the message conveyed by Children and Young Adult Literature.
