Translating Children Literature (Seminar) Translating Children Literature might seem
"easy،" as it often involves grammatically and thematically simple texts. But، more than
other genres، Children Literature necessitates careful thought about educational
contents specific to various locations and cultures، and in that sense is laid with various
"landmines" such as child labor in Erich Kästner's Emil and the Detectives (as Emil is
working in his mother's hair-salon) or a collective memory of the Holocaust in Harry
Potter. The course reviews various sources and translations of Children Literature.
Objectives:
1. To review basic concepts in Translation Studies
2. Introduction to History and Theory of Children Literature
3. Children Literature، Politics and Culture
4. Discussing some sources about Children Literature in Arabic (by Maschiach، Bertz

and Zamir).
