C1 & C5 - Lecture - Friday, March 23rd

Remember that on Friday 23rd March at 8:30 in Aula VI Prof. Jan Van Coillie,from the University of Brussels, will be giving a lecture on “From bluebeard to Little Red Patch Fairy. Tale illustrations as Translation”.Both III year groups are strongly advised to come attend as this will give you an opportunity for some intensive listening on a subject matter closely related to your degree course.CI & C5 will then do their normal course lesson at 10,30 so that C1 will not miss a lesson.

MiraMag

Dear Students,
We are pleased to inform you that MiraMag is back again and will come out in May.
In the last few years the magazine has been an opportunity for sharing knowledge,
points of view and information, and a forum for intercultural exchanges among
students from different universities.
In the attempt to continue and improve this wonderful project we are asking for your
contribution. If you want to share your experiences with other students, express your
opinion on a particular topic, tell stories or anecdotes, promote events or activities,
draw for the magazine, or if there is something interesting you would like to write or
read about: any suggestions, reflections and ideas would be of enormous help and
warmly appreciated.
This year, alongside the topics we have already dealt with in the past issues, we
would like to develop new topics of discussion, such as about translation and
intercultural experiences, learning and teaching issues, fashion, art and music, film
and book reviews and extracurricular activities.
Feel free to check the Miramag moodle http://elearning.uniroma1.it/course/view.php?
id=1092 and Mira Mag’s facebook account https://www.facebook.com/mira.mag1 if
you want to know more about the forthcoming special edition or to see past issues.
Here is a list of the email addresses to contact:
The arts (fashion, art and music): miramag.thearts@hotmail.com
Translation and interculture: miramag.interculture@hotmail.com
