Féasson, Vivien. "La retraduction comme outil de légitimation du genre : le cas de la fantasy en langue française." Thesis, Université de Paris (2019-....), 2019. https://wo.app.u-paris.fr/cgi-bin/WebObjects/TheseWeb.woa/wa/show?t=4374&f=28859.
Full textAt the turn of the 21st century, the arrival on screens of several fantasy adaptations and their tremendous success seem to have been a turning point in the reception of the genre in France, especially in the book market where the production of new novels – mostly of Anglo-Saxon origin – is reaching new heights every year. As they kept looking toward the future, many publishers have also been investing more and more in the past of the genre, publishing reissues and revisions but also first translations and retranslations of old titles, now considered as indisputable classics.This thesis aims to question the realities behind such a vision of abundance, by placing at the heart of its approach a careful examination of those retranslations that are slowly creating what could be considered the heritage of the fantasy genre. First, it will examine the editorial side of the phenomenon – the transition of the genre from the Anglo-Saxon cultural world to the French, the changes in its reception and the evolution of the working conditions of translators. Then it will turn to the textual level, opposing statements to acts by comparing what first and second translations have chosen to do with books such as The Lord of the Rings, Conan, The Wheel of Time and the Dragonlance Chronicles
Drouet, Jean-Michel. "The French title arber sub-catalogue." Nancy 2, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987NAN21009.
Full textThis thesis groups together all the english titles of translations or adaptations of french works which appear in the london booksellers' term catalogues 1668-1709 a. D. ' published by professor arber between 1903 and 1906. Every title which has been selected is followed by bibliographical entries which tell us which american and or british library (ies) posses the english work. Then the original french title is given as it appears in the bound catalogue or fiche catalogue of the bibliotheque nationale. The method used in creating this catalogue is explained in an introduction which also draws the lessons this catalogue teaches us about the bi-cultural relations between france and great britain. The seven indexes which guide the reader to the different types of information contained in this catalogue open up new areas of research in literary history

Full textThe thesis combines textual analysis and contrastive linguistics, clustering around intersected problems and theories of translation (from Greek into French and English). It has a double objective: a) to update the concept of connotation, in order to prove its applicability, especially for the analysis of literary translation, b) to put the concept of connotation to the test of translation by observing how connotations constructed on textual networks are transferred from one language into another. The research is divided into two parts: theory and analysis. The first part deals, initially, with theoretical and practical problems of translation. It also traces a historical background of connotation and reshapes it within the different fields of Language Sciences (Pragmatics, Stylistics, Semantics), so as to resituate it into an integrative approach of Semantics. It shows that connotation despite its controversial status can be a functional and useful concept for a literary and textual approach. The second part is an essay of textual semantics from a translation and literary perspective, focusing on plurality of meaning, voices and interpretations. It takes as corpus Kazantzakis' novels and more precisely The Last Temptation of Christ, translated into French by M. Saunier and into English by P. A Bien

Full textCalâleddin Mohammad Balxi or Rumi, a Persian mystical poet of the 13th century, is amongst the best known in the West and one of the most translated authors of Persian literature, especially in English. This is due to the abundance of his poetic works which consist of mystical and didactic Masnavi e ma’navi and a collection of lyrical qazals and quatrains, Divân e Şams e Tabrizi. He is also known and translated because of the relatively recent strong appeal of his poems, with their spiritual undertone, to the North American audience. Rumi’s poems appeared sporadically in German, English and French since the beginning of the 19th century until the full English translation of Masnavi in the early 20th century. Ever since, the English-speaking world has had waves of reception thanks to numerous retranslations and adaptations. In the French-speaking world, however, the reception of Rumi has been far less important: the majority of the translations were introduced in the second half of the 20th century and failed to find an equally enthusiastic audience. Despite numerous translations in both languages, transferring the poetic discourse of Rumi to French and English is a particularly complicated task, considering the specificities of Persian poetry and the mystical quality of his thought. In this study, we will first look into the principal obstacles that translators must surmount and we will work from linguistic, semiotic, stylistic, poetic, and hermeneutic perspectives. We will subsequently show how this transferring process has been carried out by French and English-speaking translators of various periods by applying the principles of Berman’s theory of translation ethics to their works. Working from a diverse bilingual corpus and using the sociolinguistic theories of translation, the present thesis intends to explain the differences in the level and nature of this reception in the two target cultural spheres

Full textOur work examines the process of the establishment of new ideas of English literature in France in the XIXth century. The essential personality of this study is Amédée Pichot. The main question that arises here is the following: what is the importance of this writer in the development of French literature in an era dominated by other major writers, such as Chateaubriand, Hugo, Lamartine, Stendhal and many others?It is through the study of three parties of his literary career that we want to emphasize what a minor writer as Amédée Pichot can do to improve the French literature. His book, entitled Voyage historique et littéraire en Angleterre et en Écosse, published in 1825, his role as a journalist and director of various literary journals and his great efforts in the field of translation are the principal axes which will reveal to us up to what point it was able to participate in enriching the French literature by new aspects of English literature
Mariaule, Mickaël. "Les limites de la traduction et la traduction des limites : traduction littéraire anglais-français." Artois, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007ARTO0004.
Full textWhen confronted with a centuries' old practice, it is futile to propose a theory claiming this same practice is impossible. Translation is possible, but it nevertheless has its limits. These are found both in the process and in the product of translation. For the former, they are called limits to translation, and are found in the comprehension stage of the source text, with, for example, unintentional ambiguity of syntax and discourse, intentional lexical ambiguity with puns, coordinated redundancies, neologisms etc. They may be linguistic in nature, as those we have mentioned above, but also cultural – for example sociolects, proper names, various cultural items etc. These obstacles force the translator to use all his resourcefulness. Arriving at a translation demands a considerable effort. The second type of limits are called the limits of translation. The product, the target text, goes beyond the actual framework of the translation. These limits may take different forms – explicitation, creation, adaptation, etc. , for instance – and are seen in re-writing, or even in post-translation adjustments. It can be seen, then, that this concept of limits provides an excellent methodological tool for taking translation as a continuum, where the different stages (comprehension – conceptualisation – rephrasing) intertwine. It thus serves a useful purpose with regard to theory, separating it from, and putting into perspective, certain of its radical positions. For indeed, translation is a complex activity which can no longer be the centre of black-and-white oppositions and fruitless empirical discussion. Thus the notion of limits gives a new perspective on translation, refining our perception of it, and heralding the birth of new ideas on translation which move away from traditional, linguistically saturated concepts such as fidelity
Nakhaeï, Bentolhoda. "Critical Analysis of the Stylistic Transformations in the 19th and 20th-century English and French Translations of Omar Khayyám’s Rubáiyát : exploring the Common Quatrains in FitzGerald, Arberry, Nicolas, and Lazard." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016USPCA144.
Full textThis thesis aims to carry out a meticulous analysis of the transformation of form and meaning in the rendition of the Rubáiyát in four significant 19th and 20th-century translations—two in English and two in French. The translators of the selected translations are Edward FitzGerald, Arthur John Arberry, Jean-Baptiste Nicolas, and Gilbert Lazard. The translations produced by these translators have offered opportunities of investigation within linguistic boundaries. In fact, one may wonder if the translators have transformed the meaning and the form of the Persian quatrains. If so, which procedures have they employed? More precisely, how are the underlying networks of signification rendered by the most significant English and French translators of the 19th and 20th centuries? Furthermore, what is the quality of the writing in the target language in each translation? On the whole, this thesis seeks to appreciate whether the translators have been successful in understanding the significance of the subtext and the elegance of the poetic form of the Rubáiyát.This dissertation provides its readers with a scientific application of the theoretical concepts of different theorists in translation studies, linguistics, and literature. The most salient theories employed in the present research are those of Antoine Berman, Henri Meschonnic, Peter Newmark, Eugene Albert Nida, Susan Bassnett, Mona Baker, Geoffrey N. Leech, I.A. Richards, Roger T. Bell, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, Michael Hanne, and Max Black. In addition, it must be indicated that this thesis sets out to create a balance between two poles in translation studies, i.e. target-oriented and source-oriented translations.The translation of Omar Khayyám’s Rubáiyát into Germanic and Romance languages is an interesting and controversial subject to discuss. This research seeks to prove that the study of the translations of the Rubáiyát can contribute to highlighting the difficulties and the impossibilities of the rendition of certain issues from Persian into English or French

Full textTranslation is a cultural matter. At first sight, it may appear as a search for equivalents in the transfer from one language to another. However, in depth translation analysis reveals much more than meets the eye. A literary text written in one language cannot be translated into another language without paying attention to its associated cultural background. It has become a truism today to say that individuals belonging to different cultures do not communicate in the same way; while the linguistic dimension is important, so is the cultural one, since cultural habits are at the root of all human actions.The title of this thesis, “The Trials of the Foreign: French Translations of Contemporary Sri Lankan Writers in English”, combines three key words: “culture”, “Sri Lanka” and “translation”. The broad research question we started out with is: how is it possible to convey Sri Lankan culture in French literary translation? The two countries are distant not only geographically but also in terms of practices and values. Therefore, a true encounter between East and West is at stake here, mediated by the English language, which the authors of the two Sri Lankan novels we study here chose as a medium of expression.In his or her attempt to identify viable equivalents of different cultural realities, the translator is confronted with decisions about whether differences should be mitigated or, on the contrary, preserved, in order to maintain the local colour. When cultural differences are smoothed over in translation and the target text contains very few traces, if any, of the source culture, the reader may have the impression of reading an original. On the other hand, when the source culture is given prominence, the translation has the potential to make the reader travel abroad, and gain new experience.The two literary works which make the object of our research, Michael Ondaatje’s Running in the Family (1982) and Shyam Selvadurai’s Funny Boy (1994), are imbued with Sri Lankan culture and pose significant challenges to translation. We draw on Lawrence Venuti’s (1995/2004) distinction between ethnocentric or domesticating translation (naturalisation) and foreignizing translation (dépaysement), while at the same time recognizing the importance of not taking this dichotomy for granted. And we assume, as Antoine Berman did, that translation is “openness, dialogue, blending and decentring” (1984: 16).We start by outlining a number of theoretical considerations about translation strategy, culture, and translating culture. We then carry out fine-grained analyses of the texts and endeavour to show how foreignization operates in Drôle de garçon (1998), the French translation by Frédéric Limare and Susan Fox-Limare of Selvadurai’s novel Funny Boy, and in Un air de famille (1991), the translation of Ondaatje’s Running in the Family by Marie-Odile Fortier-Masek. In the second part of our analysis, we focus on the strategy of domestication, which makes reading more fluent due to the mitigation of differences between cultures. Finally, we discuss some of the ways in which certain cultural facts remain untranslated, with implications for the integrity of the message, and the target readers’ experience of the text. We conclude that translation is indeed an encounter between cultures: a meeting that is fruitful and has the potential to enrich the literature of a new country, by allowing the reader to embark on a journey to a distant destination.Key words: culture, domestication, foreignization, Funny Boy, Michael Ondaatje, Running in the Family, Shyam Selvadurai, Sri Lanka, translation

Full textOur thesis examines various aspects of the translator's presence in literary translations from English into French. Our study starts with an overview of translation approaches and theories from antiquity to the present, with particular focus on the translator's presence. We then concentrate on literary translators’ relationships with the authors (and texts) they translate. Translators' accounts often reveal mixed feelings of love, hate, desire and/or pleasure, so many strong feelings that are inherent in the translation process. We go on to discuss three specific cases of translator/author relationships. A study of the various traces that translators leave in their translations (both visible and invisible) introduces our corpus-based study. In this part, the role of the translator as negotiator between languages and cultures is analysed through the translations of H. Fielding's Bridget Jones and J. Austen's six novels: the translators' choices, ranging from visibility to invisibility, are examined in depth. The analysis of Austen's translations is an opportunity to look into the problem of translations by multiple authors and their impact on the perceived unity of the works. A diachronic study of the translations of Pride and Prejudice shows that retranslation is the place par excellence where the translator's presence is most apparent. Our final chapter is devoted to the treatment of several features of V. Woolf's style in the two translations of The Waves by French writers M. Yourcenar and C. Wajsbrot. The translator's presence constitutes an integral part of literary translation, and determines the way foreign literature is received

Full textEnglish cultural humour is cultural, not only because of the references and opinions it channels or because of its syntax but especially because it is deeply rooted in the British cultural context as well as in the English language. Once it is translated into French, it has to exist in and through French. Due to their different mental programs and cultural conditioning, French readers and spectators will not react to British humour in the same way as British people. This is why translators will often try to make the humour more easily accessible for the French public in translated texts. His decisions will have an impact on the faces of the source language, but they will also affect the British faces the French reader has access to. This research has focused on cultural allusions in an analysis of examples from British texts to see the differing effects each text has on its readers and to see if one can talk about British cultural humour once it is translated into French. The analyses will also make it possible to see how translation can affect the representation of cultural identity and the impression the target text reader will have of the foreign text. If one can understand a nationřs humour, one can start to understand its people. In order to do that, the difference of foreign humour should be seen as a key that can allow the foreign text reader and spectator to establish a dialectical relationship with the foreign humour, rather than as an aspect of Otherness which always has to be overcome

Full textReferring to diverse works and authors of various epochs, styles or nationalities, this dissertaion, on the representation of the dialectal and foreign substratum in the french and anglo-american litterature and on its translation, attempts to understand the approach of those authors who resort to phonetic transcription and thereby better comprehend that of the translators. Analysing first the diverse motive which urge these writers to upsted the grammatical and spelling standards in order to transfigure orality and speech on paper, and then questionning the validity of a method to be applied to hese linguistic creations, this study _ notably by an enumeration of the devices wich help materialize the dialectal or foreign accent _ tries to answer the lexical, grammatical or morphosyntactic question induced by such an incursion of the spoken, within the text. As it finally elucidates the translation tools set up in these literatures, this work suggests avenue of insipration for the future translator, thereby transforming blocks into stepping stones to creativity

Full textThe readability of a text not only concerns the ease with which it may be read, but also the pleasure which it conveys. In books for children, the readability is essential in creating a sense of complicity between the author and the reader. Given both the expectancies and the requirements of the young public, and in order to restore the readability as faithfully as possible, the translator has to make choices which may then increase or decrease the readability of the text
Cadeddu, Paola. "Les traductions italiennes de Colette : un aspect de la fortune de Colette en Italie : traduction et réception." Versailles-St Quentin en Yvelines, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009VERS017S.
Full textThe work I have been doing for this thesis, has to do both to French literature and to the reception of literature. I have tried to understand the relations of Colette with Italy so, I have done a comparative analysis of Italian translations of four novels of Colette. Doing this work I have notice that the conception that Italian readers have of Colette, is quite different from the conception of French readers. In France, Colette is one of the most famous writer of the XX Century, but in a second moment she was judged a scandalous woman, a writer of erotic novels. In Italy, the publishing, the literary criticism and translators, have contribute to reinforce this image and nowadays it seems impossible to think of Colette different from the writer of Claudine and La Vagabonde. My thesis aims to change this image of Colette and give her back her place in contemporary literature, the place that she has conquered hardly thanks to a meticulous work with the French language. In this thesis I have found out a new Colette, who can adjust herself to every narrative contest. This thesis could be a starting point for people who intend to study Colette in Italy from a new point of view and could help to discover an author who is, for a large part, unknown
Wada, Eri. "Proust et la traduction : l'évolution stylistique et esthétique de Marcel Proust à travers la traduction des ouvrages de John Ruskin." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040039.
Full textThe translation of John Ruskin's the Bible of Amiens and Sesame and Lilies was for Proust a turning point in his literary formation : he discovered, by translating and annotating, his method of criticism and the very foundation of his style and his novelistic aesthetics. The preface of the Bible of Amiens appears as the criticism of all the criticisms which have preceded it. The work of translating was also for Proust the occasion to imitate Ruskin’s style and polish his own: he discovered what could make his sentence dynamic and organic: musicality, power of adjective, the technique of paradox and imagery. As much as the translation, the work of annotating has contributed to Proust’s literary formation. If Proust did not share Emile Male's nationalistic tendency in spite of his sympathy for him, it is because he had already been oriented by Ruskin toward an aesthetics based on the allegory, allowing him to build an imaginary universe, both "internal" and "real", where reality has been transposed, according to his vision of the world, into signs to be deciphered

Full textCommonplace within the historiography of this artistic and literary movement. By moving the chronological cursor towards the 1789-1830 period, that is between the end of Ancien Régime anglomania and the accepted date of the romantic triumph in France, this dissertation deals with the conditions of appearance of hundreds of artworks borrowing their subjects from within a corpus of more than forty British authors, from Macpherson and Smith - who unveiled Ossian’s poems to Europe - toLord Byron, Sir Walter Scott and William Shakespeare. Many of these works of art could have been localised, or are known through various testimonies, and their study allows us to observe the heterogeneousness of the relevant artists’ profiles, trainings and motivations. By applying an analytical pattern designed to use tools forged by reception studies, translation theory and comparative literature, it is possible to determine that the reception of literary texts in the visual arts proceeds through four phases :diffusion, adaptation, appropriation and repercussion. Placing this artistic production within the sociocultural and economical context of its time reveals a less idealized image of some «gothic» romanticism, the deep complexity of the contemporary French artistic scene which sees the birth of bothromantic imagination and imaginary romanticism
Codeluppi, Martina. "Writing Memory : global Chinese Literature in Polyglossia." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCA067/document.
Full textThis thesis aims to investigate the representation of fictional memories in the context of global Chinese literature, showing how displacement and translingualism affect the works by authors from the Mainland and from overseas, who express their creativity in different languages. The four novels Zha gen (Striking Root) by Han Dong, Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise (Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress) by Dai Sijie, The Crazed by Ha Jin, and Rou zhi tu (Beijing Coma) by Ma Jian are compared as reflections of individual memories of the Cultural Revolution and of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. The first part of the thesis addresses the new theoretical approaches configuring contemporary Chinese literature as a polyglossic and deterritorialised entity. The second part focuses on the analysis of two examples of autofictions, Zha gen and Balzac et la Petite Tailleuse chinoise, comparing their representation of time as reflected in the evolution of the individual. The third part explores the two novels The Crazed and Rou zhi tu, focusing on the spatial character of memory transposed in the form of a fictional témoignage. Finally, the fourth part investigates the interactions between Chinese literature and world literature, placing the cases analysed in a translingual perspective. The comparison between the Chinese, the English and the French versions of the novels shows how deterritorialised memories are modulated through translation and self-translation
La tesi esamina la rappresentazione narrativa della memoria nel quadro globale della letteratura cinese contemporanea, mostrando l’influenza di dislocamento e translinguismo sulle opere di autori cinesi che scrivono tanto dalla RPC quanto dall’estero, in cinese o in altre lingue. I quattro romanzi Zha gen (Mettere radici) di Han Dong, Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise (Balzac e la piccola sarta cinese) di Dai Sijie, The Crazed (Pazzia) di Ha Jin e Rou zhi tu (Beijing Coma) di Ma Jian saranno comparati come immagini di memorie individuali della Rivoluzione Culturale e delle proteste studentesche di Piazza Tian’anmen. La prima parte si incentrerà sulla discussione di nuovi approcci teorici che inquadrano la letteratura cinese come un’entità poliglossica deterritorializzata. La seconda sarà dedicata all’analisi comparata di Zha gen e Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise e metterà in evidenza la rappresentazione del tempo in termini di evoluzione identitaria dell’individuo. Nella terza parte, il paragone tra The Crazed e Rou zhi tu sottolineerà il carattere spaziale della memoria come testimonianza narrativa. La quarta parte, infine, esplorerà le interazioni tra la letteratura cinese e la letteratura mondiale da una prospettiva translinguistica. La comparazione tra le versioni in cinese, inglese e francese dei romanzi mostrerà come tali memorie deterritorializzate sono modulate dalla traduzione e dall’autotraduzione

Full textThis study goes through the whole of the French translations of Homer’s Odyssey from the Renaissance up to the XXth century. It is a further step in the study of the history of translations, based on a new technical and conceptual tool, using a wide range of new techniques in the field of Digital Humanities, which should help us enhance research about such a major text in Western civilization. Our hypothesis is to locate the turning point in the ways to translate Homer at the end of the XVIIIth century in France, with progress made in archeology and philology, a hypothesis that has been verified throughout this study, thanks to the software we made. We have studied both the history of the translations of the Odyssey and a wider history, that is to say, history of translations in general. Our study also aimed at giving access to the wider public to the results we got. We digitized and gathered all the French translations of the Odyssey in an enriched XML format. We have dealt with 26 translations, within which 23 are complete. Except for copyrighted texts, all our texts are open source. The digital tool we made does not only exist to ease the scientific work, but it also allows us to see new phenomena that would be impossible to spot with a human eye, and obtain results that cannot, even with rigorous expertise, be obtained by a human. We see there the double function of a digital tool that can both confirm and help discover. Firstly, the tool can allow us to confirm philological intuitions that can be operationalized and visualized in pedagogical way. On the other hand, unexpected phenomena can be found and visualized, such as changes that might have been hidden due to the wide period studied or the quantity of texts analyzed

The first part of the thesis will examine the relationship between the Roman de Brut, written by the francophone author Wace in the 12th century, and its English translation, La3amon’s Brut. The second part is devoted to a comparative study of French and English versions of a romance about Alexander the Great, the 12th century Roman de toute chevalerie, by Thomas of Kent, and its 14th century translation, Kyng Alisaunder

Full textThe favourable reception in Spain of works by Madame de Genlis, Madame de Beaumont, Madame d’Épinay and Madame de Lambert constitutes an important chapter in the literary fortune that these authors came to achieve outside of France and particularly, in Spain during the period of Enlightenment. The pedagogical obsession of the Spanish Enlightenment scholars, women’s interest in reading and the development of publishing provoked a veritable avalanche of texts aimed at the education and schooling of women throughout the XVIII century, especially in the middle of the century at a time when a strong interest in translating foreign literary works was surfacing. Concurrent with this pedagogical interest taking place during the Enlightenment, the subject of education had become a beacon in the editorial production of the time. Consequently, the educational debates which had been taking place in France also began to become the subjects in Spanish educational circles a result of the various translations of French literary works. The pedagogic lens in the literary production of Marie Leprince de Beaumont, Stéphanie Félicité de Genlis, Louise d’Épinay and Madame de Lambert seduced a large number of Spanish Enlightenment intellectuals. The sensitivity of these French pedagogues on moral and religious matters translated perfectly to Spanish literary creations; it was a literature which respected traditional spiritual values at the same time as remaining open to the new concept of “sensitive virtue” This resurgence in female influence would go on to became apparent in the translations of French pedagogic literary works as a good number of these writings passed through the hands of women. Ana Muñoz, María Jacoba Castilla, María Romero Masegosa, Antonia de Río y Arnedo, Cayetana de la Cerda and so many others alternated between being translators and Spanish writers who gave a feminine perspective to the movement to emancipate and educate Spanish women. Notably, these women were responsible for the first Spanish versions of works by Madame de Lambert, Madame d’Épinay and Madame de Genlis. This research will analyse the transformation of these French pedagogical works: their first translations in Spain and how they influenced Spanish pedagogical literature, especially when produced by women. In doing so it will outline a number of specific traits which characterise hispanic female literary production

Full textThe purpose of this dissertation is to study Italian translations of French chivalric narrative and French translations of Italian chivalric narrative from the late 15th century to 1560. The work lays at the intersection of two fields of study: medieval texts still read during the Renaissance and literary vernacular exchanges between France and Italy. For this purpose, I have studied some almost unknown French and Italian texts and compared each of them to the original in the other language. Regarding France, I have examined the translations of Guerrin Meschino, Morgante il Gigante, Orlando Innamorato and Orlando Furioso. As far as Italy is concerned, I have analyzed the translation of Guiron le Courtois preserved in a manuscript from Florence (first quart of 16th century.) The same chivalric romance of Guiron was later adapted in Italian verses by the court poet Luigi Alamanni, at the request of the French monarch (1547). Finally, I have studied some Italian translations from French (Meliadus, Lancelot and Perceforest) as part of a chivalric editorial collection published in Venice in the mid-16th century.In addition to the analysis of the translations, I have broadly investigated the chivalric romance with special regard to its late editorial evolution and its reception, especially, the public reception, the invention of a “modern” romance in the forties, the blurred boundaries of the chivalric romance genre and the perception of these texts in the 16th century imaginary

Full textAt the dawn of the twentieth century, turning point in the intellectual and literary history to the Middle Kingdom, Lu Xun (1881-1936) is clearly the iconic Chinese writer: he is the modern author most translated outside borders, and particularly in France. Therefore it seems interesting to study, through a historical and translatological review, the almost century-old course of the work of this author in France. First, the textual and contextual research allows to open a new access road to his work and to shed a new light on the question of translation of his work. In a second step, it is to establish the panorama of French translations from 1926 to the present. Since then and still today, translations appear with the joint efforts of Chinese and French translators and, in various media publications and in a rhythm different. The reasons that these ferrymen of languages and cultures are interested in the work of Lu Xun differ greatly, mainly because of the politicization then the call for the depoliticization of the writer. Indeed, we will see that the "translators-introducers", the official interpreters, the supporters of political ideology and those who stick are far from aim the same translation purposes. Moreover, their translation projects differ from one another due to the evolution of translative thought and literary exchanges during near a century. Finally, the different trends will be highlighted through the comparative analysis of translations that update the issues and challenges of the style of Lu Xun. We ask, in this regard, to what extent and by what strategy the dynamism of textuality can be transmitted in the target text

Full textThis study covers the Greek translations of French literature and their presence in the Greek literary world during the entire twentieth century and at the dawn of the twenty-first. The finding that translations play a crucial role in the absorption of this literature in Greece, and that, to date, their recording within the examined period is fragmented, set a research goal for the fullest possible, accurate and documented recording of any Greek translations of works of French literature (prose - plays - poetry), published in our country in the period from 1900 to 2010.The quantitative and qualitative processing of certain parameters, such as the year of publication of a translation, the translated author, the translator, the translated work and the publisher, as well as the relevant conclusions, intend to contribute to the presentation and overview of the overall image of this translation sector

Full textNotre etude a tache de combler un vide theorique dans un domaine qui n'a fait l'objet d'aucune recherche systematique. L'organisation specifique du discours litteraire est a considerer dans l'interaction de la coherence et de la plurivalence discursives, lesquelles sont susceptibles de definir la litterarite et la poeticite : de l'un a l'autre pole on aura une intensification croissante de ces criteres. Le discours poetique se revele comme une interaction du phonique et du semantique ou le premier, a travers une redondance lexematique, sememique et semique motivee vient deformer, modifier, sursignifier le second en le revalorisant, le reactivant, le dynamisant. Le sens second (le symbolique) se superpose sur le sens premier (le semiologique) pour former une structure isotopique complexe decelable a la suite d'une lecture consciente prenant appui sur tous ses parametres enonciatifs. Seul le symbole est en mesure d'assurer le passage du processus de signification immotivee a celui de signification motivee, ou le signe, d'abord apprehende a travers son signifie au niveau de la langue, se transforme ensuite au niveau de la parole litteraire a un symbole ideologique. C'est un systeme complexe qui developpe deux genres de reference, l'un externe (linguistique) et l'autre interne (symbolique), le premier permet de circonscrire le second : la correspondance entre le referent denotatif et les referents connotatifs est assuree a travers le designe denotatif (linguistique) qu'ils ont en commun. C'est dans ces termes-la que nous pouvons parler d'ecart grace a un double critere; semantique (la coherence pertinemment plurivalente du discours litteraire par rapport a la norme du langage d'usage) et structurelle (la structure semantique de la metaphore represente un champ conceptuel pertinent, non existant au niveau de la langue). Une theorie de la traduction litteraire, inseree eventuellement dans le cadre d'une linguistique textuelle, ne tenant pas compte de ces facteurs-la, ne fait et ne fera qu'ajouter "une discipline" parmi d'autres. Il serait errone tant theoriquement que pratiquement de vouloir traduire la polysemie lexicale de l'enonce; c'est sur sa plurivalence discursive a travers la coherence de l'ensemble qu'il faut centrer ses efforts. Les notions de traduction provisoire et de traduction definitive sont indispensables afin d'atteindre une meilleure fidelite au
Lindenberg, Judith. "Giorgio Caproni, poète-traducteur : le rôle de la traduction dans le processus créatif." Paris 3, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PA030114.
Full textGiorgio Caproni (1912-1990) is now recognized as one of the greatest Italian poets of his time. As a parallel to his poetic work, he also devoted himself, as did a number of his contemporaries, to the translation of some of the most important figures of twentieth century French literature: Proust, Céline, Apollinaire, Char, to name but a few. Following some of the analyses of the philosopher Giorgio Agamben, we see how, with the aid of authors from another genre (prose) and language (French), Caproni’s practice of translation, at the crossroads of a literary and translatological reasoning, constitutes a laboratory for experimenting with his poetry to come. It is through the translation of such authors as the above (particularly during the nineteen sixties) that Caproni’s translational poetics is elaborated, characterized by the deconstruction of syntactic links. Punctuation, used as a rhythmic and melodic instrument, furrows the text and gives rise to a play of enunciation that one subsequently finds in his poetry. Indeed, the collection Congedo del viaggiatore cerimonioso (1965) marks the appearance of a character and the beginning of a new phase of his work. The series of characters who populate the second part of Giorgio Caproni’s work testifies to a strategy, formed through his translations, of the theatricalization of the poetic space. But this theatrical simulation is only one of the modes used by the poet to express his loss of confidence in the power of the word to represent reality. This assessment opens out onto the themes of the dissolution of the subject and the absence of God: themes which are to be understood not so much from the point of view of philosophy as from that of the musical language towards which this poetry strives and which founds its modernity

Full textThe English adventure novel of the nineteenth century, descending from a tradition shaped by the writings of Defoe, Scott, and Dumas, was to find its masterpieces in Tresaure Island and Kidnapped! by Robert Louis Stevenson. These texts represent both the high-point of the genre, and its rewriting and subversion. Joseph Conrad, in his adventurous fiction, responds to this problematizing of the conventions of the genre. Both authors had to situate themselves in relation to the literary debates of their era, and the soon-to-end dominance of realism. In France, at the turn of the twentieth century, literary critics were seeking an alternative in foreign fiction to the moribund novel that they had inherited. In the face of the this “crisis of the novel”, Marcel Schwob was to find, in Robert Louis Stevenson, the author who seemed to give form, in his fiction, to a novel of adventure which transcended the stale oppositions which had fed the debate on the future of the novel in France. This literary encounter is the starting point for a discussion which continued into the 1900s in the literary reviews, where critics led by André Gide begin to develop a theory of the roman d’aventures. This concept of adventure permits us to examine the reception of the works of Stevenson, and those of Conrad, in the literary culture specific to France at the beginning of the twentieth century. In writers’ correspondence, in literary reviews such as the Revue des Deux Mondes, the Mercure de France, or the Nouvelle Revue Française, in translations and French editions of the two authors, a literary phenomenon takes shape, a cultural transfer between the great cosmopolitan writers of the period

Full textThe aim of this research, which draws on a descriptive approach to translation and uses a corpus-based methodology, is to explore D.H. Lawrence’s style through his use of body-related metaphors. I will focus on their stylistic particularities in order to examine the manner in which body metaphors were translated into French. The main argument of my study is that Lawrence’s metaphors are a relevant tool to highlight his vision of human relationship. This thesis falls into three parts: first of all, I explore different theoretical frameworks from Aristotle to more recent studies, notably those carried out by Lakoff and Johnson. This step confirms that metaphors are a relevant tool of communication that organises one’s thought in order to create a specific representation in a given situation. Secondly, in order to weave a link between metaphors and Lawrence’s writing in The Rainbow, I examine style in Translation Studies and beyond. Metaphorising and translating are two closely related processes that revolve around a common aspect, movement. Thirdly, I conduct a qualitative and quantitative analysis of 35 excerpts from the censored and the unabridged edition of The Rainbow (1915) with their French translations by Albine Loisy (1939) and Jacqueline Gouirand-Rousselon (2002) in order to highlight convergences and divergences in the style and metaphorical representations of the body. The recurring use of metaphor in The Rainbow is a means of conceptualising Lawrence’s vision of the world. Both translators had to overcome at least two challenges: to preserve the metaphorical images and to opt for a style that reflects the complexity of the Lawrencian writing, while respecting the stylistic norms of the French language. Differences in translations pave the way for new interpretations that could take shape through future retranslations

Full textStarting from a corpus of English, German and French rewritings and translations, this work aims to interpret the critical and literary revival of which The Metamorphoses of Ovid have been the object over the course of the past 20 plus years. The rewritings of the Metamorphoses are testimonies to their globalization. They evoke a reading of Ovid that privileges an aesthetic of variation which reflects upon the manner in which we now constitute the corpus of world literature. These rewritings also make resonate the mediations which have assured the transmission of Ovid and offer up to reflection the times that come back to us through the ancient translations, in particular that of A. Golding. By exposing the memory from which the obvious continuity of the classical is woven, these rewritings interrogate the often repressed historicity of national languages and literatures. The times which are resurrected through the coming back of secondary and ancient works allow them thus to speak the fragile memory of that which History has forgotten. They likewise allow for the connection between the returning time of literary memories and the elaboration of a post-colonial literature

Full textThe literary influence exercised by Golden Age Spain on France in the first half of the 17th century is related to a very considerable mass of editorial activity. This thesis, which combines the history of the book and literary history, studies French translations of Spanish texts which circulated in France between 1600 and 1660 - translations concerning texts of all kinds (religious, literary, scientific, technical, etc.).In order to evaluate this editorial activity, a bibliometric enquiry must first be carried out. This enquiry allows us to reconstitute the history of of the circulation of this material in print. The principal centres of production are identified and the production of the workshops of the booksellers’ operating in this market are examined. The analysis then shifts to the activity of translation itself, in all its diversity. The profiles of the different principal translators from Spanish to French are laid out: the professional translator, the enlightened amateur, the printer, the cleric, the physician, etc. Particular attention is paid to men of letters who attempt to conciliate what is perceived as lowly hackwork with their literary ambitions. Finally, the translators’ practices themselves are the object of study, through comparison, using textual analysis as well as examining questions of format and layout, of different (concurrent or successive) translations of the same text. Account is thus made of the diverse motivations of these versions and the specificity of each writing project and publication. Taking as its base a large swathe of writing produced in French often neglected by literary history, this study of the penetration of Spanish culture in France and of the world of translators looks anew at the relation between writing and publication, as well as at the editorial role in the construction of literary legitimacy

Full textThe aim of this research work is to study the translation problems raised by linguistic and sociocultural aspects through four French literary pieces belonging to different genres: drama (Huis Clos by Jean-Paul Sartre, and Les Justes by Albert Camus) and novel (La Porte Etroite by André Gide and La Vie Tranquille by Marguerite Duras). This study is based on the practical case of French to Armenian translation. The thesis is in three parts. The first one deals with general points concerning the target language (Armenian). The same part also contains the main points of various translation theories and, above all, the rich history of Armenian civilisation translations from the creation of the Armenian civilisation to the present day. In the two following parts, the study focuses on sociocultural problems (the role of various elements on the translation) and linguistic ones (the pecularity of translating possessive phrases, relative pronouns, relative clauses, comparisons, idiomatic phrases, gallicisms…)

Full textIn Loth century France, translation can be viewed as a process which settles the strategies of intertextual appropriation and through which the outcrop of the 'subject of writing' can be elicited. To enlighten this evolution we have focused upon it two converging analyses. The perception of the marks of an 'author-subject' recorded in the translation of “Amadis de Gaule” results first from a text-effect. By overriding the devices which, in previous romanesque adaptations, had gradually instituted the narrative economy of verisimilitude, the version under consideration wittily exhibits the deviations entailed by this very treatment. It reads as a setup of heterogeneous texts, each reflecting the mirror image of another, this specular game being assumed by a showman who actually slips his own signiature into the text. Simultaneously, around 1540, the discourse about translation posits a set of derogative values to discriminate that type of activity from the original 'invention', and correlatively it launches a new representation of the Author as free inventor and owner of his work. By tracing the shifting of the images and topoi which betray the relations of the translator both to his model and to the French language, we tend to argue that the figure of the Poet delineated by the “Deffence et illustration” stems from this evolution. Now, between the individual gesture of the Poet who appropriates his models and that of the Prince who, when embezzling and ennobling the 'work' of the translators, revives and restores the productivity of the great texts, there is a homology which testifies to the larger ideological stakes allowing to situate the new symbolical status alloted to the scriptor

Full textThe translation s of the Greek poet Constantine Karyotakis as well as the influence of French poets in its works constitute the subject of this study. This thesis falls within the scope of applied linguistics, translation studies and comparative litterature. The subject is examined both diachronically and synchronically. After presentation of the poet and his works, we examine the French influence in Greece and, thereafter, in the poet's works, which are distinguished in those influence by poets already translated in Greek and those inflenced by poets appaearing in the French Anthology "Poètes d'aujourd'hui". Insofar as the translated works are concerned, they were studied not only in terms of linguistics and sociolingistics but of pragmatics as well. We also investigate the transfer of the cultural elements in the translated text, and issue considered as one of the most difficult problems on translation. Furthermore, we looked into the topics and the functions of the translations in the works of Karyotakis. Having taken into considration the intercultural value of the translations we compared some of these translated works to those translated by others : a study of the translation stategies adopted as well as the translator's identity as an intercultural mediator

Full textThis dissertation aims to study the translations and the reception of twentieth-century Chinese literature in Spain. Two main interrelated hypotheses are presented: the marginality of Chinese modern and contemporary literature in the Spanish reception and the mediation of the Anglophone and Francophone literary systems in this reception. These hypotheses are tested through the analysis of the history of translations and a case study scrutinising the reception of Mo Yan’s (莫言) work and the indirect translation from the English into Spanish of his novel Tiantang suantai zhi ge (天堂蒜薹之歌). The marginality of this literature in the Spanish context exhibits numerous symptoms: the profusion of indirect translations, the recourse to editing, the preference for the documentary value of the novels, the emphasis on the radical otherness, etc. Moreover, indirect translation provides the main evidence of the mediation of the Anglophone and Francophone literary systems in this process. One hundred translations are presented, the examination of which enables us to study the evolution of the types of translations, the mediating languages, the channels for choosing the works to be translated, the homogenisation and temporal proximity of translations in English, French and Spanish, the typology of the translated texts, etc. Special attention has been paid to paratexts and reviews in the study of the reception of these texts. Furthermore, the dissertation examines the role played by the mediation of the Anglophone and Francophone literary systems in the incomplete assessment of this literature. The analysis of the reception of Mo Yan’s work and of the translation of one of his most prominent novels offers concrete examples that support this thesis.

Full textThe present work is composed of 4 chapters. The first chapter presents the history of the publication of Philosophical Studies (Etudes Philosophiques) in France, in Russia and in Armenia from 1830 to our days. We are trying to explain why in Russia and in Armenia these works are less published. The second chapter concerns the problem of the translation. We found important to speak about the difficulties of the translation of the titles, of the tenses, of the expressions used by Balzac, which are the most of time neglected in translations. In the third chapter we represent the reception of the works of Balzac, especially of Philosophical Studies (Etudes Philosophiques) in the three above mentioned countries. The last chapter is devoted to the psychoanalytical study of Philosophical Studies (Etudes Philosophiques). It is not a secret that Balzac was an unloved child: this fact gave us the idea to read his works from the point of view of psychoanalysis

Full textThis dissertation is a study of the influence of “gallant” libertine literature from England and France on German literary creation in the last three decades of the 18th century. The number of translations and critical commentaries which appeared at the time testifies to the successful impact in Germany of four novels of seduction, the very emblems of the genre, namely Clarissa Harlowe, Les Égarements du coeur et de l’esprit, Le Paysan perverti and Les Liaisons dangereuses. It is therefore legitimate to search for echoes of those works in the German production of the late 18th century. The survey of scientific evidence of the attention paid to those novels (openly acknowledged influence, critical comments or explicit marks of intertextuality) results in the selection of six German writers, also enthusiastic readers of the books, whose works display a reflection of the tradition of “gallant” libertine literature, viz. Christoph Martin Wieland, Sophie von La Roche, Wilhelm Heinse, Ludwig Tieck, Clemens Brentano and Jean Paul. The confrontation between the German novels and the “sources” reveals the presence of the main motifs of “gallant” libertine literature: typology of characters, strategy of seduction and key phases in the plot. Yet it is inseparable from a systematic use of distortion. The parody of a series of narrative techniques and the recourse to “perverted imitation” bear witness to a process of distanciation in which both the originality of the literary heirs and the specifically German sensibility of a fast expanding literature assert themselves. By giving new directions to certain fundamental principles of the libertine quest, the latest German works in the corpus alter the initial libertine doctrine and pave the way for new areas of existential questions, thus foreshadowing the disillusioned artistic figures of the 19th century

Full textThis work deals with the past French translations of Don Quixote of Cervantes and its main points are: the questions: are these translations faithful to the original? What linguistic theories has the translator worked out? The hypothesis: if the French translations are correct from the syntagmatic point of view, they present flagrant gaps from the paradigmatic point of view. These gaps are caused by the contrastive translation theory that deals only with linguistic codes. The answers: since the nature of the linguistic structures of Don Quixote is more semiotic than semantic, they need another model of translation: the hermeneutic one that is based on the interpretation of the ideas of the text. Verification : thanks to this model and its methodology, the untranslated items of Don Quixote have been faithfully interpretated, conclusion : formulated in this way, the present thesis is defined as a whole of pragmatic strategies aiming to realize an interpretation search on a new linguistic field unexplored in don Quixote, called here the inter-said. Through this model we aim to found a new practice of translation

Full textThis thesis examines the history of the reception and of the immanence of Charles Baudelaire in Modern Hebrew poetry through the influence of his work on original poetic work in Hebrew and through the translations of his poems into Hebrew. As part of the latter, a detailed comparative analysis is offered of some of Baudelaire’s poems translated into Hebrew and published through the 20th century.In examining these questions we wish to examine the extent to which one may trace a correlation between, on the one hand, the translation and reception of Baudelaire’s poetry and, on the other hand, the exceptionally rapid evolution of Modern Hebrew poetic language.In every generation of Modern Hebrew poetry, Baudelaire was translated by major authors. This significant interest in his poetry can be attributed, among other reasons, to the constructive role that such translation plays in Hebrew. For, in the Hebrew context, Baudelaire's poetry has a unique role: he is both a keystone of Modern poetry in general and the starting point of Modern Hebrew poetry in particular.Modern Hebrew poetry can be compared to a tree without a trunk: Its roots – the classical Hebrew texts – are ancient and deep. Its crown – the New Hebrew creation of the last 120 years – is fresh and green. But what keeps it standing are its branches that lean on the rich offshoots of its neighbours in the forest: the foreign poetic corpora which have always nourished this young literature, born modern. Translating Baudelaire into Modern Hebrew implies, symbolically, a contribution to the retrospective grafting of a trunk to the tree
Pierrot, Claire. "La fortune de l'Utopie de Thomas More en France à la Renaissance." Paris 10, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002PA100165.
Full textWe have to define the expectation of readers and then show how the reading of the work has been directed and finally study literary rewriting in the sixteenth century. Thus, texts show that More was known in France if we consider the Antimorus by De Brie and the writings which were released after his execution. The disclosure of Utopia was fast and it could be seen through editions which came with a varied paratext : an alphabet, a map, letters and poems. The French edition is outstanding for its didactic character and for its critical letter by Budé. The translations by Leblond, Aneau and Chappuys were rather faithful even if they censored the attacks against religion and politics. The Morian text draws its inspiration from Plato, Erasmus's Moria, and from journey stories : the comparison highlights the original treatment of fiction and the absence of real alterity. The status of imagination can't define the Utopian genre while political thinkers as Bodin reject Utopia in the name of realism and the refusal of community of goods. Literary rewritings, the works of Rabelais, and Alector, the novel by Aneau provide us with a definition of Utopia as a genre characterized by the complexity of enunciative strategies (contradiction, irony), and by the calling into question of the notion of ideal (presence of evil, relation to christianism), a genre which is opposed to the didactism of Antangil, in which Utopia is a mere pretext

Full textThough Porto Rican literature is generally ignored, and particularly in France, a lot of great authors deserve publicity. Here we introduce Jose Luis Gonzalez by translating into French twelve of his short stories. Those texts were selected because they illustrate the different aspects of the work of Jose Luis Gonzalez and, more generally, of the Porto Rican literature of the 20th century. Two groups of stories deal with the dual aspects of the Porto Rican way of life (both insular and in New York City) and give a good image of the complex problems of autonomy, cultural and linguistical dependence. The third group of stories deals with more universal matters. The second part of this work is a critical comment on the different difficulties met during the process of translating those texts into French. We stress the importance of the environment: geographical as well as political or cultural. We also deal with the specific question of the interaction between Spanish and English (in particular the black slang of Harlem). We try to describe how these alterations (Americanisms, Caribbean or Porto Rican dialectal forms) of the Castilian as well as the bias of the translator of the Spanish language lead to a particular reproduction by local and sociological deviations of French. We also evidence the mechanisms used to render the consistency of style of the author. The translation of these twelve texts should soon be published provided an agreement is reached between the publisher and the author

Full textThe present thesis aims to study the “reader’s constraints” that can influence the decisions of the translator of children’s literature by using a large corpus of Chinese translations of Charles Perrault’s tales (1910-2016). It focuses on three central questions: What are the “reader’s constraints”? What are the “reader’s constraints” in the translation of children's literature? Which are the “reader’s constraints” that existed in the Chinese translation of Perrault's tales? To carry out this investigation, we have followed the three steps outlined below: 1) in the light of previous research in translation studies, we first tried to define the notion of "reader’s constraint" and propose a model of analysis that allows us to find the translational decisions made in the context of those constraints; 2) then we have focused on the children’s literature, in order to examine the features of the young readers by aid of the theoretical discourses of youth literature and child psychology; 3) finally, a long section has been devoted to the analyzes of the corpus, which will be able to test the hypothesis formulated in our theoretical development and to reveal the translational norms which can be applicated to the translation for the youth in China at a given time. From a communicational view of translation, the reader’s constraints constitute a heterogeneous set of factors related to the reader and which can hinder the translator's freedom in his decision-making. They vary according to time and space with changes in the target language-culture, which is the Chinese context in case of our study

Full textThe studies of tacitism in the 16th and 17th centuries were limited so far to political theory and historiography. Our thesis extends the scope of research to theatre, in that it explores in a comparative perspective the rewritings of the principate of Tiberius in English and French 17th century tragedy: Sejanus His Fall by Ben Jonson, Claudius Tiberius Nero by an anonymous English dramatist, La Mort de Germanic Caesar by Bénigne Griguette, Seianus by Jean Magnon, La Victime d’Estat by Jean Le Royer, La Mort d’Agrippine by Cyrano de Bergerac, Germanicus by Dominique de Colonia and Germanicus by Edme Boursault. The arrangement of topics discussed follows a dramatic movement from the sequences of dissimulation and agonistic confrontation towards dramatic turns of events covered by legal procedure. The sequences of dissimulation are analysed in terms of non-interaction (observation, silence, asides), interaction (symmetrical and asymmetrical dissimulation) and the distancing effect (in regard to internal receivers and the audience). The study of agonistic sequences focuses on dramatic functions of proofs, witnesses and arbitrators. Finally, the dramatic turns of events are considered first from the point of view of their juridical origins and specific references to the legal procedure, and then with regard to the aesthetics of violence. The closure of the thesis broadens the perspective by analysing construction of exemplarity and dramatic interpretations of the principate as an institution. The appendices offer a standard language transcription of rarely studied French pieces of our collection, accompanied by a philological, literary and historical commentary

Full textBaudelaire occupies a privileged position in this thesis he is the passage from the finite to the infinite. This is due in the first place to his reflexion on poetic rhythm his intuitions about the"mysterious and little known prosody of french poetry in the preface to les fleurs du mal,and about the rhythm of prose in the preface to the preface to the preface to the petits poemes en prose(spleen de paris) determine a radical change in the 19th centry from a conception that dominated western thought for centries to a new way of thinking. This thesis takes up a systematic development of his insights. In order to develop baudelaire's idea we have taken as a star ting point the notion of rhythm elaborated by h meschonnic who devoted a book to the subject entitled critique du rythme 1982. At same time we have tried to show that baudelaire's oeuvre creates a rhythm containing a mysterious and little known prosody"the thesis is composed of four parts,entitled:free poetics free poetry,free prose,and free trans lation. Rather than sacralize poetry by accoding it the monopoly of rhythm,this thesis takes it as the activity of language,whether in prose,in poetry or in translation,of a poet: charles baudelaire

Full textTranslation is one way of reading a text and as such is a source of valuable information on both the history and fortunes of a foreign text abroad, and the translator. In becoming part of the recipient culture, the translated text challenges the accepted norms and deserves to be studied more closely. Where the translation is contemporary to its original, it may also be a source of valuable information on the creation of the original. The abbe prevost (1697- 1763) was a journalist, novelist and translator. His work in the latter capacity enables him to introduce english thinking into france from 1733 onwards. The texts that appear his periodical, the pour et contre (1733-1740) , show an editor with an eclectic taste, unafraid of introducing new, foreign ideas. His reader is made to think about the hierarchy in the arts, greater variety on the stage and the means of achieving this, english humour, slavery, parliamentary democracy and the freedom of expression. Nine texts from the pc by swift, lillo, caleb d'anvers, hamilton etc. Are reproduced in bi-lingual format together with their iconography, thus showing the deliberately informative approach this translator adopts, contrary to current practice. He is a master of the polite, well-informed and elegant challenge and paves the way to domestic tragedy, richardson and hume whilst also practising new forms of writing which he incorporates in his own work

Full textThis thesis uses Berman's methodology of translation critique to explore the 'translation horizon' in communist Bulgaria, with particular emphasis on the way that the 'translation horizon' might have influenced the 'project of translation' in relation to particular literary works translated into Bulgarian from Russian and French. Berman's notions of 'horizon' and 'project' allow us to study the context of the theory and practice of translation during the period in question. Furthermore, these notions also allow us to study the way that translators approach the process of translation and how they introduce foreign literary works. By dividing the communist era into historical sub-periods, this thesis aims to reveal the tendencies which characterise the translation critique and also the criteria used for choosing and transferring literary translations into Bulgarian. This thesis considers the question of whether there was a 'translation canon' and how this might have influenced the practice and theory of translation. The reflections in this thesis are base on an analysis ofthree translations : Paul Eluard's political poems, from the book Pesni za vsicki (Songs for everyone), and two translations of M. Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita
