CCST 233 The Art of Translation in the Age of the Machine 6 credits
In an era when AI tools can produce a translation that is indistinguishable from the work of a professional translator, what role is left for humans? In this course students study the history and theory of translation, while gaining practical experience in literary translation. Topics include the visibility of the translator, questions of identity, authority, and power, and challenges to Eurocentric traditions of translation. Students will become familiar with available translation tools and practice using them ethically and effectively in a workshop setting. The final project will be an annotated translation into English of a literary text of the student’s choice. Recommended preparation: Proficiency in a modern language taught at Carleton (204 or above). Native or near-native fluency in English.

GERM 265 German Studies in Austria Program: The Nation through Art: East-Central European Music, Literature, and Visual Arts 6 credits
How does art, in various forms, shape our understanding of a nation? What does it mean for a place to have a national language, music, painting, architecture, and so on? And what are the peculiarities of these questions in the context of Austria, which was once the center of a vast ethnically and culturally diverse empire? This class explores how art forms can both create and express national cultures while covering the history of East-Central Europe.
