Ce numéro 48 de la revue Babel. Littératures plurielles, réunit, sous la direction de Giuseppe Lovito, les actes du Colloque International, Leonardo Sciascia : le pouvoir du (contre)récit, le (contre)récit du Pouvoir, qui s’est tenu à l’Université de Toulon les 9 et 10 décembre 2021. Au-delà de l’appel du calendrier et en dehors de toute “tentation de célébration”, les cent ans de la naissance de l’écrivain de Racalmuto ont encouragé les spécialistes de différents pays qui sont intervenus a...

Attraverso la lettura di saggi, articoli, interviste e testi d’occasione, scritti dagli anni ’60 agli anni ’80, si tratteggia un quadro sostanzialmente costante di quanto Sciascia dice della propria regione, della sua identità, della storia che l’ha resa com’è. Nel momento iniziale del periodo preso in esame, almeno in parte, pare esservi un certo ottimismo sulla possibilità di ottenere un cambiamento positivo. In ogni caso lo scrittore mantiene sostanzialmente invariata l’immagine di una condizione negativa e immutata attraverso i secoli, che, già a metà degli anni ’60, a fronte delle delusioni per il presente, allunga a sua volta le sue ombre anche sul momento vissuto. Nonostante le perplessità a volte dichiarate sul fatto che l’identità siciliana abbia potuto mantenersi invariata per secoli, lo scrittore lo accetta e alcune rare volte cede ad alcuni luoghi comuni.

L’ouvrage de Li Shuangyi, Proust, China and Intertextual Engagement: Translation and Transcultural Dialogue, s’intéresse à la rencontre du roman de Proust, À la recherche du temps perdu, avec la Chine. Il s’agit d’une « constellation proustienne » (p. 238) d’activités littéraires et interculturelles qui ont eu lieu entre la Chine et la France vers la fin du siècle dernier par rapport à l’œuvre de Proust : la première traduction intégrale collective (1989-1991) et les retraductions individuel...

Issu d’une thèse soutenue récemment, cette étude est passionnante, savante, pionnière même. Ce n’est pas seulement un travail sur la manière dont Montaigne a été reçu et interprété en Chine (dans un premier temps via le Japon et le monde anglophone), mais aussi une réflexion sur la signification de sa réception dans les milieux lettrés puis intellectuels de la Chine moderne, jusqu’au public contemporain. L’étude suit un ordre globalement chronologique. Elle fait d’abord état, pour l’écarter,...

Abstract This paper takes a meta-analysis and synthesis approach to emphasize systemic functional linguistics’ contribution to translation studies. A coding book was designed to analyze 123 studies collected through email inquiry, database search, and manual examination. The paper reports on the substantive features and methodological features of the studies. Content analysis was presented on four major research themes: general translation, genre translation, interpreting, and translation training. After discussing the synthesis results, the paper is concluded with implications for future research.

The COVID-19 pandemic has worked as a catalyst of attention, bringing an unprecedented understanding of the impact of multilingual communication in healthcare settings.Although studies in the relationship between translation and healthcare settings predate the pandemic, The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Health is a reminder of the breadth, significance, and range of the relationship between individual health and their language needs.Ineke H. M. Crezee and Sharon O'Brien wrote in the blurb that this handbook is a welcome, timely, and extraordinary contribution to translation studies and health domains.This 428-page volume, edited by Şebnem Susam-Saraeva and Eva Spišiaková and published in May 2021 as part of comprehensive the Routledge Handbooks in Translation and Interpreting Studies series, inextricably links translation studies and medical humanities and offers a kaleidoscopic overview of cutting-edge developments in both areas by leading scholars.A total of twenty-three lucid chapters plus an introduction are logically arranged in this book, falling into one of four thematic sections: Part 1 "Travels of medicine from ancient to modern times" (Chapters 1-3), Part 2 "Translation in medicine and medical sciences" (Chapters 4-9), Part 3 "Translation and interpreting in healthcare settings" (Chapters 10-14) and Part 4 "Areas of health" (Chapters 15-23).The following metrics cover the period from its debut to the end of February 2021.The average views on each part based on the Routledge Handbook Online are 46, 63, 53, and 73 times.Anne Birgitta Nilsen wrote the most popular chapter (187 views), "Interpreter-mediated communication with children in hospital settings." Following that are "Medical humanities and translations" by Vicent Montalt (91 times).The views metrics on Routledge Handbook Online is 201.Altmetric Attention Score is an indicator of the amount of attention that a book has received.The score for this handbook is 21, which is a result of mentions by 38 tweeters and 61 readers on Mendeley.The geographical breakdown of Twitter is from Europe (54%) and North America (9%), while the rest is unknown (37%).Students account for 28% of readers, while researchers account for 23%.The others are either unknown or labeled as "other."

Abstract Translating collocations is one of the problematic areas in translation studies, which becomes even more complicated when translating Qur’anic text is involved. The uniqueness of Qur’anic linguistic features, special context of the Qur’anic text, and stylistic differences between English and Arabic are barriers to accurate and natural rendition. Along these veins, this study attempts to investigate seven translations of the Qur’anic noun-noun collocations (Sarwar 1981; Al-Hilali and Khan 1996; Arberry 1996; Pickthall 1997; Sahih International 1997; Shakir 1999; Ali 2001) to unfold the degree of accuracy and naturalness of their translations. The present article follows the approach of corpus-based research to study seven prominent translations of the Noble Qur’an taken from The Qur’anic Arabic Corpus , using lexical, exegetical, and frequency-based analyses, which reveal that integrated lexical and exegetical analyses are perquisites for adequate rendition and prevent deviation in meaning and translation loss. Frequency-based approach in translation of collocations could assist in maintaining naturalness of rendition to some extent.
