Title
« Demain tout recommence » : Lord Durham’s Report en traduction
Abstract
The author presents a comparative analysis of the ideological presuppositions that run through and shape each of the three French translations (1839, 1948, and 1969) of Lord Durham's 1839 Report on the Affairs of British North America following the failed uprisings of the Patriotes in 1837-38. The author attempts to explain how different maxims relevant to discursive practices of French-Canadian and Québécois nationalism are disseminated throughout the 150-year history of Durham's text in translation. The author deals with the permeability of translational discourse in Lord Durham’s Report and the 'regulating principles' that structure it. Following a socio-political examination of the context proper of the source text and each of its translations, the author uses a comparative analysis into the work of the ideologemes — that present themselves, at the textual-surface level, as synchronic variations. The author concludes with a discussion of the antagonistic relation between the French Canadian and the Other [i.e. English Quebecers], and the way in which this relation shows itself to be a surface manifestation of the ideologeme of “conquêtisme.”
