À travers son Grote Prins, Jan Walravens semble brosser le portrait du pendant grotesque d'un autre prince, celui d'Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Bien vite, le lecteur sagace est pris par une tout autre dimension : l'esprit tantôt ludique tantôt critique - ou les deux à la fois - à la source d'innombrables pirouettes verbales, d'allusions aux monuments de la littérature mondiale, de pastiches et détournements de vers célèbres de poètes flamands et néerlandais, d'évocations amusées à la culture dite populaire. Au-delà des théories fumeuses de son antihéros, l'auteur nous livre ses réflexions sur la place du livre dans notre société, les affres de l'écriture, les dérives de l'enseignement rénové, les petites mesquineries qui sévissent dans le monde universitaire... Le texte du Grote Prins parait dans ce volume conjointement à sa traduction française. Philippe Anckaert livre une traduction susceptible de fournir une expérience littéraire, esthétique et émotionnelle potentiellement analogue à celle d'un lecteur néerlandophone, sachant que même ce dernier aura sa propre lecture de l'oeuvre selon les réminiscences qu'elle éveille en lui ou selon les affinités partagées qu'elle pourra révéler. Grâce à l'effacement du traducteur, le lecteur pourra apprécier à sa manière et en toute intimité, le grotesque, les petites pépites verbales et autres interférences intertextuelles qui constituent la « substantifique moelle » du Grand Prince de Jan Walravens.

This volume examines strategies for embedding gender awareness within translation studies and translator training programmes. Drawing on a rich collection of theoretically-informed case studies, its authors provide practical advice and examples on implementing gender-inclusive approaches and language strategies in the classroom. It focuses on topics including, how to develop gender-inclusive practices to challenge students' attitudes and behaviours; whether there are institutional constraints that prevent trainers from implementing non-heteronormative practices in their teaching; and how gender awareness can become an everyday mode of expression. Positioned at the lively interface of gender and translation studies, this work will be of interest to practitioners and scholars from across the fields of linguistics, education, sociology and cultural studies.

Through close readings of select stories and novels by well-known writers from different literary traditions, Fictional Translators invites readers to rethink the main clichés associated with translations. Rosemary Arrojo shines a light on the transformative character of the translator’s role and the relationships that can be established between originals and their reproductions, building her arguments on the basis of texts such as the following: Cortázar’s "Letter to a Young Lady in Paris"Walsh’s "Footnote "Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray and Poe’s "The Oval Portrait"Borges’s "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote," "Funes, His Memory," and "Death and the Compass"Kafka’s "The Burrow" and Kosztolányi’s Kornél EstiSaramago’s The History of the Siege of Lisbon and Babel’s "Guy de Maupassant" Scliar’s "Footnotes" and Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler Cervantes’s Don Quixote Fictional Translators provides stimulating material for reflection not only on the processes associated with translation as an activity that inevitably transforms meaning, but, also, on the common prejudices that have underestimated its productive role in the shaping of identities. This book is key reading for students and researchers of literary translation, comparative literature and translation theory.

At the intersection of translation studies and Latin American literary studies, The Translator’s Visibility examines contemporary novels by a cohort of writers – including prominent figures such as Cristina Rivera Garza, César Aira, Mario Bellatin, Valeria Luiselli, and Luis Fernando Verissimo – who foreground translation in their narratives.Drawing on Latin America’s long tradition of critical and creative engagement of translation, these novels explicitly, visibly, use major tropes of translation theory – such as gendered and spatialized metaphors for the practice, and the concept of untranslatability – to challenge the strictures of intellectual property and propriety while shifting asymmetries of discursive authority, above all between the original as a privileged repository of meaning and translation as its hollow emulation.In this way, The Translator’s Visibility show that translation not only serves to renew national literatures through an exchange of ideas and forms; when rendered visible, it can help us reimagine the terms according to which those exchanges take place. Ultimately, it is a book about language and power: not only the ways in which power wields language, but also the ways in which language can be used to unseat power.
