1. “All translation is the art of failure,” writes Italian novelist and philosopher Umberto Eco. If by translation we understand both the transfer of meaning between two languages and more loosely, its adaptation into another medium such as the oral performance of a written text, write an essay where you agree or disagree with this statement by using as your examples the description of the work of translation that Mary Phil Korsak offers in her article “Genesis: A New Look” and one of the following: either the video adaptation of St Francis’ “Canticle of the Sun” or The Popol Vuh.
Consider the following: What counts as “failure” and “success” in the translation of religious texts? Under what circumstances might an artful failure count as a success? What is the purpose of each translation? In the case of Korsak, more specifically, how does she understand her role? What is the effect of each translation? What is lost and/or gained in the work of translation?
2. Define what vita activa means for Hannah Arendt and write an essay where you define the three components of active life and analyze how two of them are at play in either Wall-E or any of the images we have studied together.
3. Write an essay where you explain the meaning and significance of the title of either Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si’ On Care For Our Common Home or of Hannah Arendt’s The Human Condition. Make sure your answer explains the meaning of all key terms in the title and relate those terms to the arguments put forth in the text. Your answer must make a connection to at least one other text we have studied together. For example, in the case of Laudato, compare what Pope Francis writes about “care” with the chapter by John Hamilton; in the case of Arendt, consider, for example, how she understands “human” and how any of the creation myths we read understands humanity, or how her concepts of “earth” and “world” connect with Pope Francis’ “home.”
