- Study Objectives:

The goal of the seminar is to familiarize directing, dramaturgy, theory and criticism students with the basic principles of theatrical translations if the students' specialization is neither philology or translatology, but if in their future work they will still be working with translated texts. Students are to learn both certain aspects of general translation theory and important periods and figures of Czech translating. An integral component of the practical part of the seminar is comparing existing translations and, of course, one's own translation attempts, whether as a group or individually.
- Mode of delivery:
-
Comparison of existing translations, group translating, comparison and assessment of one's own translation.
- Prerequisites and co-requisites:
-
Minimal requirement is a pre-college knowledge of a foreign language (English, German, French, Russian)

Practical part:
