Detailed program to come.
"Les voix du conte". Didactic and translational peregrinations, around Charles Perrault's Fées
The aim of this colloquium led by the PLIDAM research team is to compare different translations of Charles Perrault's famous fairy tale, Les Fées (1697), in some thirty languages. Comparing all these versions will enable us to discuss the difficulties encountered, whether lexical, stylistic or cultural. After a first practical and pedagogical phase, during which teachers and students worked together on their translations, and a second phase aimed at the general public, which took the form of a theatrical performance given on September 30, 2022, International Translation Day, this third and final meeting will raise more theoretical, didactic and translational questions. In particular, we'll be looking at the difficulty of finding equivalents for certain terms that seem natural to speakers of French, but also of other European languages, in idioms belonging to more distant cultural areas (notably the figure of the fairy herself); the question of transposing a classic French text into a contemporary language; the problems raised by the conciseness of the text and the importance of preserving this in the target language.
The translations can be viewed at TraduXio (then click on the name Charles Perrault).
