Le rôle des écrivains-traducteurs dans la construction d'une littérature anglo-québécoise : Philip Stratford, David Homel, Gail Scott
|
| Abstract |
The author reflects on the essays, articles, prefaces and interviews of three contemporary Quebec Anglophone writer-translators: Philip Stratford, David Homel and Gail Scott. Based on the premise that writer-translators maintain a privileged relationship with the space between languages and cultures, which they are bound to explore through translation and writing, the author examines the extent to which Stratford, Homel and Scott have contributed to building an English Quebec identity and literature since the early 1980s. The author found that their respective discourses on literature and translation, being symptomatic of three different intellectual approaches, revel on the one hand the unstable, plurivocal, and evolving nature of this identity and literature, and, on the other hand, a striking homology that the author strives to emphasize. The accent is on the images of multiculturalism and forms of creativity that flow from writer-translators' knowledge of the languages-cultures with/between which they work, and the modalities according to which they negotiate the difficult passage separating these two entities.
