- Seminar Report "RCAPS 20th Anniversary Special Seminar Translation Language and Poetics"
Aug 2, 2016
The lecture was attended by about thirty people, including undergraduate students and faculty. The lecture began with opening remarks from RCAPS Director Professor FELLIZAR, followed by an introduction of President KORENAGA. The lecture topic was Translation Language and Poetics. President KORENAGA spoke in English about contemporary Chinese poetry, his area of specialization, and the process of translating it into Japanese. During the question and answer session, the audience asked questions such as, "Poetry can be interpreted in various ways, so how can it be translated?" and "How are rhyme and rhythm translated?" At the audience's request, some of the poetry actually translated by President KORENAGA was also presented. The students commented that, "It was a good experience, because we rarely have an opportunity to listen to a lecture by the President."
