The Tragedy of Winter

This conference poster presents an academic overview of a student literary translation project. The poster details the application of Lawrence Venuti’s foreignization theory to translate traditional or cultural narratives, accompanied by illustrative artwork depicting Middle Eastern folklore themes and somber winter landscapes. It highlights the practical linguistic challenges faced during the translation process, specifically focusing on maintaining poetic rhythm, adapting literary terms, searching for proper contextual meanings, and finding accurate cultural equivalents. The visual and textual elements emphasize translation methodology, the preservation of cultural nuances, and the academic reflection of students navigating complex literary texts.
