Yet it remains little studied by historians. Here we propose to reflect on how the VOC administrators communicated their orders to the Batavian Chinese through the study of the interpretative translation of a 1696 decree aimed at prohibiting the opening of new sugar, arak, lime and brick production sites, as well as the creation of sawmills, due to the shortage of firewood in the Batavian ommelanden or in the surrounding regions, but which was not implemented due to the powerful interests at stake. La traduction joue un rôle essentiel dans la circulation des savoirs ainsi que dans les échanges sociaux et politiques. Pourtant elle reste peu étudiée par les historiens. Ici nous nous proposons de réfléchir sur la manière dont les administrateurs de la VOC communiquaient leurs ordres aux Chinois de Batavia à travers lʼétude de la traduction interprétative dʼun décret de 1696 visant à interdire lʼouverture de nouveaux sites de production de sucre, dʼarak, de chaux et de briques, ainsi que la création de scieries, en raison de la pénurie de bois de chauffage dans les ommelanden de Batavia ou dans les régions avoisinantes, mais qui nʼavait pas été mis en œuvre en raison des puissants intérêts en jeu. |
