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

本文将探讨当前文学翻译是如何在法国和马格里布（摩洛哥、阿尔及利亚和突尼斯）之间流动的，并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中作为大型合作方案的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工具（ii）文学翻译作为一个创作过程如何受到影响，当任务是满足特定的合作目标和（iii）如何（翻译）文学和文化政策目前在重新构想“法语国家”相交。因此，本文将考虑文学翻译作为法语文本在他们自己的权利，这是以前很少做的。本文将进一步通过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，特别是在后殖民环境中，为比较文学领域做出方法论上的贡献。反过来，本文将有助于确定现代语言研究在塑造文化政策和创意产业中的关键作用。

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.
