Paperback. Condition: New. The Poetics of Self-translation explores the well-attested phenomenon of writers translating part of their own work, underscoring its growing significance in the history of translation and literature. Drawing on established literary and translation research, this book reveals its underlying logic, grammar, or "poetics," with a focus on how writers self-translate, rather than why or with what consequences.Through an impressive range of examples from Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, Grutman illustrates the global practice and the varied perceptions of contemporary literary self-translation. The book adopts a comparative approach, highlighting what distinguishes self- from third-party translations: their potential for bidirectionality (where source and target languages switch sides) and consequent feedback, the narrowing time gap between the original and translated work, and insider knowledge of the initial text that allows authors to actively shape their so-called "second originals." In this analysis, Grutman recognises the ambiguity of self-translation, noting that these distinctive features mostly occur when self-translation is a sustained activity in a writer's career. In most cases, self-translators intervene within the range of more conventional translation practices. With this nuanced and balanced perspective, the study reaffirms the interconnection between translation and self-translation and how each enriches our understanding of the other.Comprehensive and engaging, this book is a valuable resource for students and researchers of literary and translation studies.…

Soft cover. Condition: Fair. 202 pp., bibliography. In French. Rivalisant avec les sagas du best-seller, auquel elle emprunte souvent des techniques narratives, la biographie au Québec est entrée en effervescence au cours des dernières années. Par l'entremise d'un individu qui a intensément vécu les événements de son temps, on peut en effet entrer, sans effort, avec beaucoup d'agrément même, dans la complexité d'une société. Quelques chercheurs, parmi lesquels figurent d'éminents praticiens de la biographie, étudient ici des aspects majeurs de cette forme d'écriture. L'ensemble de ces articles constitue un ouvrage en deux volets. Dans le premier, on trouve un historique de la biographie au Québec, des aperçus sur la théorie et les formes du genre ainsi que quelques analyses de réalisations exemplaires. Tout en mentionnant, dans le survol historique, les biographies canoniques déjà abondamment recensées, les auteurs ont privilégié des oeuvres qui ouvrent à l'écriture biographique des perspectives nouvelles: celles de Fernand Ouellette, Victor-Lévy Beaulieu, Patricia Smart, ainsi que les recherches érudites de John Hare sur la biographie des Patriotes de 1837-1838. Dans le second volet de cet ouvrage, le plus original, on s'est permis, grâce à d'aimables complicités, de pénétrer par effraction dans «l'atelier du biographe» donnant accès aux secrets de Bernard Andrès, Hélène Pelletier-Baillargeon, Stéphane-Albert Boulais et François Ricard. Pour finir, des orientations bibliographiques suggèrent d'autres pistes de recherche. book block and pages are slightly warped from water damage, minor staining.…
