Translating Discourse in U.S. Drama

Excited and curious, I entered the first session of our seminar Translating Discourse in U. S. Drama today. First introduction of the participants, of the plays to be discussed, giving out tasks, one creative exercise – we are looking forward to seven exciting weeks!

During this seminar, Joseph Megel and Henning Bochert, theater practitioners from both sides of the Atlantic, will work with you to explore the question: How do current societal discourses reflect in U.S. drama, how do contemporary German plays contribute to their own discourse, and how does translation (both German to English and English to German) communicate them?
