Spent third year abroad teaching in Cádiz, Spain.Key modules: Practical Language Skills; Final Year Project in Translation; Translation Theory in a Spanish<>English Context; Spanish Literature & Theatre; Performance; Music in History and CultureDiscovery module: ItalianDissertation Project: I decided to research the translation of children’s literature since the genre both educates and entertains, and plays a key role in the development of a child. Noting that the translator acts as mediator between cultures, my objective was to formulate a model for the translation of children’s literature. To do so, I translated R. Santiago’s novel, Los Futbolísimos, and analysed the methods applied, highlighting the major problematic issues as political incorrectness and culture-specific references. Show less
