SoSe 23: (LK) Secularity Through Arabic Sources
Florian Zemmin
Kommentar
This reading class accompanies the MA course with the same title, and it is recommended to take both courses together. In this course, we will be reading and translating a selection of Arabic texts on questions of secularity. The lecturer will at the beginning present a range of possible texts, stemming from the end of the nineteenth century until the present and from a variety of genres: journalism, political speeches, and academic publications. The participants will then jointly decide on those texts they want to dealt with and translate in the course. We may publish selected translations. This course is also directed to Arabic native speakers, and it will become clear that translating Arabic texts into English prompts a deeper engagement with the meaning of words than their intuitive understanding might yield. The reflection on possible meanings that an author had on their mind goes along with need for contextual knowledge. Google Translate does not have this (yet?). Since this program is however increasingly getting better, we will correct individual translations done by Google Translate, so as to find out when one may productively use that tool and where its limits are at which skills acquired through our historical studies come in.
