This is the blog of the Department of Comparative Literature and English at AUP. We have been looking for a way to represent what our department is. We know that we are constituted by many things – by what goes on in the classroom, what we read and talk about outside, the events we organize and attend. And we know that the identity of the department extends outwards through the network of lives of those who have passed through AUP. So we have begun this blog. We will also be gradually building in new functions for the blog – we hope to be able to catalog the kinds of careers and lives that AUP alumni have built for themselves; we will add the syllabi for all of our courses; we will post regular announcements of events in Paris and at AUP; we’ll try to let you know when our faculty are travelling.

The American University of Paris | Master of Arts in Cultural Translation. First program of its kind The Master of Arts in Cultural Translation is a unique initiative, the first of its kind. A recent panel at the Modern Language Association asserted that cultural translation is 'the most important concept in cultural theory today.' Translation has never been only a linguistic activity; translators negotiate between two cultures, they create pathways for meaning where there were none, and they find themselves intimately engaged – ethically, politically, creatively – with distant and different worlds and lives. The field of Cultural Translation takes the creativity and rigor of the practice of translation, and the deep reflection of contemporary theories of translation, and brings them into active debate with our world.
Questions from the humanities meet questions from political science or from international business, as we try to understand and to inhabit the forms of life that are emerging locally and globally. The MA can be completed in 12 months Find out more.
