Course Overview |
This course focuses on the translation (into English) of Japanese Buddhist and other religious texts mostly from the premodern period. Students will gain (1) working knowledge of key Japanese Buddhist terms, (2) an awareness of important Buddhist concepts, and (3) practice in the use of standard Buddhist reference materials to solve text and research-related issues. The first two weeks will be a hands-on introduction to relevant print and digital resources. Subsequent weeks will consist of in-class translations of textual materials. Students must thoroughly prepare the assigned text for each class. Class time will be devoted to reading the text and translating it out loud (with students taking turns). Throughout the course, there will be vocabulary quizzes. At the end of the semester, students will submit a polished translation (with Introduction and bibliography) of one of the translated texts from the course. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
