Topic of the session: Translation: At the Heart of New Editorial Practices

Translation is one of the central activities structuring intellectual spaces and one could even argue that it is a sort of matrix. A book published on paper often has supplemental translation notes online which serve to enrich the reading experience. Shared online spaces between translators create long-lasting interactions. Networks of cultural journals such as the Eurozine (eurozine.com) have set up on-going translation systems that follow European debates. Various paratexts thus form ties that enrich a work and emphasise the multilingual character of digital cultures.

La traduction, au coeur des pratiques éditoriales

La traduction est l’une des principales activités structurant les espaces intellectuels, au point même qu’on pourrait soutenir qu’elle en est une matrice. Un ouvrage diffusé sur papier peut avoir des compléments en ligne pour explorer les notes de traduction et enrichir la lecture. Des espaces partagés entre traducteurs créent des interactions pérennes. Une fédération de revues comme Eurozine (eurozine.com) a développé une action permanente de traduction qui stimule le débat européen. Les divers paratextes forment ainsi autant de liens qui enrichissent une oeuvre et confirment le caractère multilingue des cultures numériques.

Guest presentators are :

- Anne-Laure Brisac-Chraïbi, has been leading a 25 years career in translation, in conjunction with teaching and publishing. Three fields aiming at the transmission of world views and languages. She's been interested into editorial aspects of digital publishing for several years, an interest which (sometimes) feeds and irrigates these professions in various manners. She won the Laure-Bataillon prize for her translation of Une lampe entre les dents, a novel by Greek author Christos Chryssopoulos.

- Genevieve Has, Bachelor in translation and Master in traductology she's interested in all aspects of the man-machine relation. She has taught translation technologies, localisation and translation theories at Concordia University. She presently pursues a Ph. D. in Literary Studies under the direction of Milad Doueihi, in Laval University (Quebec City).

- Nadine Blanchard, Editorial-assistant at Eurozine, a society who's publishing principles give a great importance to translation since this netmagazine relies on an international (european) network of periodicals and partners. She's also a cultural manager at Freelance and an independent photographer. <http://www.eurozine.com/>
