Please join us in this exciting and enlightening encounter between scholars of applied linguistics and scholars of translation/literary studies, as they discuss excerpts from three Modern Korean Novels and their published translations into English:
엄마를 부탁해 Please Look After Mom (Kyung-Sook Shin, trans. Chi-Young Kim)
채식주의자 The Vegetarian (Han Kang, trans. Deborah Smith)
두근두근 내 인생 My Brilliant Life (Ae-ran Kim, trans. Chi-Young Kim)
– explore the interplay between macro and micro levels of meaning-making
– examine what is “lost – and gained – in translation”
– consider enriching applications for each of our fields
