29-468 Sartre's La Nausée -- Interpretation and Translation

These two intimately connected activities will be given equal importance in this course. We will proceed by looking at the text in the original: study its genesis, its themes, and how its vision of the universe is expressed through its language and imagery. We will also debate how the translation approximates or misses out on the multiple meanings below the surface.
