Drawing on examples from the Oz books by L. Frank Baum, the essay offers a preliminary grammar of adaptation as migration that emphasizes four areas: (1) foundational terms like host and target cultures, frames or scripts, and the parties involved in migrating and defining and regulating migration; (2) motives for migrating, encouraging migration, and inhibiting migration; (3) products of migrating; and (4) the morality and ethics of migration. It concludes by raising questions about the kinds of invisible migration that involve texts and utterances crossing borders which current theories of adaptation fail to take into account. Cet essai explore les implications de l’utilisation de la migration comme métaphore de l’adaptation. Ces implications deviennent légalement et moralement lourdes lorsque l’adaptation est considérée non seulement comme une migration mais comme une émigration ou une immigration, deux activités définies plus étroitement par des gardiens particulièrement investis dans leur régulation et le maintien de l’ordre. S’appuyant sur des exemples des ouvrages Oz de L. Frank Baum, cet essai propose une grammaire préliminaire de l’adaptation en tant que migration qui met l’accent sur quatre domaines: (1) des termes fondamentaux comme les cultures, cadres ou scripts hôtes et cibles, et les parties impliquées dans la migration; (2) la définition et la régulation de la migration (motifs de migration, encouragement de la migration et inhibition de la migration); (3) les produits de la migration; et (4) la moralité et l’éthique de la migration. Cet essai se conclut en soulevant des questions sur les types de migration invisible qui impliquent des textes et des énoncés traversant les frontières que les théories actuelles de l’adaptation ne prennent pas en compte. |
