Stemming from Translation and Reception theories (Jauss, Iser) and more recent cultural theories (Bassnett, Lefevere), this course highlights some of the issues - political, social, historical among others - that determine the translation of an author in a receiving country. Case studies of Balzac in English and in Chinese serve as a basis of study of his translation/reception in other languages and/or countries. Partant des théories de la réception (Jauss, Iser) et des approches culturelles plus récentes en traductologie (Bassnett, Lefevere), ce cours mettra en lumière quelques-unes des questions, politiques, sociales, historiques et autres qui déterminent la traduction d'un auteur à l'étranger. Des études de cas sur Balzac en anglais et en chinois serviront de base à l'étude de la réception de Balzac dans d'autres langues et/ou pays. Note: The language of instruction will be French when the course is offered by the Graduate Program in French/Francophone Studies, and may be French or English when the course is offered by the Graduate Program in Translation Studies. When offered by the Graduate Program in French/Francophone Studies, more emphasis is put on the analysis of the source text.

The term, multilingual education, typically refers to the teaching of and through more than two languages. This means that multilingual education is concerned with language policy. Language choices and uses in education reflect social policy decisions within a multicultural or cross-cultural context. In this course, we investigate language policy, education, ecology, and hegemony in our changing world. Multilingual education will be viewed in multiple ways, incorporating internal and international responses to globalization and multiculturalism. In our world today, people live in increasingly multicultural, multilingual countries where historical concepts of belonging are under pressure to respond to current cultural realities. Technological advances of the late twentieth century have simultaneously provided people with the means to move around the globe much more easily and drawn edges of the world closer within virtual space, such that cross-global communications take place in nanoseconds. This has changed language use enormously in terms of both which languages we use most often and the media through which we communicate using these languages.

Paradoxically, while the social meanings attached to race are recognized as groundless, race persists in defining and confining identities, facilitating social cohesion, and making subjectivies that transcend time and space. The focus on discourse in this course explores this paradox. We examine connections between language and different form of knowledge - of culture, History, Anthropology - in making and sustaining race. We consider how discourses of identity and difference, culture and nature, converge with discourses of the body in multiple representations to make race, like gender, one of the most naturalized discourses of our time.

Urban communities are typically spatial centres to which individuals migrate and immigrate. With this comes increased population density, economic disparities and increased cultural, ethic, racial and religious diversity. Public institutions, and schools in particular, are charged with the responsibility of addressing the resultant challenges. Using Toronto as an example, the course begins by examining the question: What characterizes urban schools We then go on to examine the historical, social, economis and political issues in the city and investigate how the demographic changes in particular have affected the education system. What changes have occured in the teaching, professional and administrative staff of the schools in term of representation What curricula, programmatic and pedagogical changes have occured? What are the challenges and tensions that the schools face as they attempt to accomodate diverse cultures? Schools in Toronto will be investigated and used as case studies. Through urban theory, field visits and individual assignments we will investigate the extent to which schools' currucula, program and staff representatives are responsive to the needs of today's students. Special attention will be paid to the roles of educators, students and parents in helping address educational, cultural and social issues. The goal of this course, therefore, is to enable students to develop working (tentative and transitional) conceptualizations around the following essential question: how are power, knowledge, identity and cultural representation organized within the space of urban educational encounters?
