présentation
Nous souhaitons proposer des réflexions autour de la notion d'imaginaire de la traduction. Il s’agit d’étudier les paratextes, les essais, les influences, les alliances intertextuelles… qui informent le travail des traducteurs de manière à former leurs imaginaires de traduction, et d’analyser la manière dont ceux-ci s’incarnent dans des choix poétiques, linguistiques et traductionnels. On cherchera ainsi à proposer une série d’outils théoriques nouveaux, liés à la notion d'imaginaire en traduction.
Le carnet accueillera les résumés de nos travaux scientifiques en traductologie, ainsi que des présentations d’ouvrages et des comptes-rendus.
We would like to try a quite simple but much needed experiment by introducing new considerations concerning the theory and practice of translation. In this way, we will attempt to develop new reflections on how to compare language practices and imaginaries. In this attempt, it is crucial to take into consideration the ways in which the imagination is involved in the socio-symbolic elaboration of translation practices.
We intend to take a closer look at the paratexts, the essays, the influences as well as the intertextual alliances that enrich the work and the imaginary of translators. This theoretical inspiration could eventually lead to a wide variety of analyses, methods and interpretations, which aim to create critical tools thus enhancing the development of a new concept: imaginary of translation.
