About this Unit
From 2017 this unit replaced by 102500 - Writing and Form. The movement and migration of people and identities across different constituencies necessitates a crossing over of grammar, vocabulary and meaning-making. This unit will involve a consideration of processes of translation between cultures. It will focus on examples of specific cultural forms (from literature and other art forms) and develop readings that allow us to reflect upon processes of intercultural communication. It will also consider the transference, or translation of ideas into written and other creative forms, using the idea of searching or quest (for meaning and understanding) as a point of reference.
