Translation Flows between France and the Maghreb in the 21st Century: Literature, Cooperation, and Francophonie

这篇论文将探讨当前的文学翻译如何在法国和马格里布(摩洛哥、阿尔及利亚和突尼斯)之间流动，将法语国家重新定义为21世纪的多语言文学空间，而不是法语文学空间。通过将文化政策文件与过去十年作为大型合作计划一部分翻译的文学文本进行比较，我将调查(I)为什么阿拉伯语文学翻译成为法国和马格里布法语国家文化政策的一种工具；(Ii)文学翻译作为一种创造性的过程是如何受到影响的，因为它的任务是满足特定的合作目标；以及(Iii)目前(翻译的)文学和文化政策是如何在重新想象法语国家的过程中相交的。因此，本文将把文学翻译本身视为法语文本，这是以前很少做的。这篇论文将进一步为比较文学领域做出方法论上的贡献，探索如何利用文化政策和创意产业研究方法来更好地解释书籍的生产、翻译和流通的背景，特别是在后殖民背景下。反过来，这篇论文将有助于确定现代语言研究在制定文化政策和创意产业方面的关键作用。

This thesis will explore how current literary translation flows between France and the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia), redefine la Francophonie as a multilingual, rather than French-speaking, literary space in the twenty-first century.By comparing cultural policy documents to literary texts translated as part of large cooperation programmes during the past ten years, I will investigate (i) why literary translation from and into Arabic became a tool of Francophone cultural policy in France and the Maghreb (ii) how literary translation as a creative process is impacted when tasked with meeting specific cooperation goals and (iii) how (translated) literature and cultural policy currently intersect in reimagining 'la Francophonie'.As such, the thesis will consider literary translations as Francophone texts in their own right, which has rarely been done before. The thesis will further make a methodological contribution to the field of Comparative Literature by exploring how it could use cultural policy and creative industries research methods to better account for the context of production, translation, and circulation of books, notably in postcolonial settings. Reciprocally, the thesis will help identify a key role for Modern Languages research in shaping cultural policy and the creative industries.
