| Yhteenveto: | Can the literary approach prove useful in other fields and practices ? This is what I hope to find out, based on a close reading of a short extract from Marlene van Niekerk’s novel Triomf and three translations into different englishes and frenches languages. My proposal is to consider the act of translating from a heterolingual imaginary, in which attention to voices takes precedence over the linguistic perspective. Instead of suggesting a passage from a source language to a target language, as if it were a matter of crossing a bridge, the adventure of this text highlights the heterogeneities that bring each of the banks into existence. More precisely, translation always takes place in a situation, which raises questions about the status of the body responsible for the translation: who exactly is speaking in a translated version ? Reconsidering translation as an operation of re-enunciation, and therefore as an act of discourse, makes it possible to question the ethics of translation outside the reductive binarisms of the source/target, fidelity/ betrayal type, by finely considering the adjustment of the distance with the instance of primary enunciation. As it turns out, there are as many others as there are ways of differing. And that far from standing beyond a border, these others in the plural are always already in themselves. This calls for radical hospitality. |
