Literary Translation as a Means of Reconciling Conflictual Identities: The Case of Algerian and French Identities
Journal Title: In Translation / في الترجمة - Year 2021, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
This research attempts to consider literary translation as a means of reconciling conflictual identities, namely Algerian and French identities. In order for that, a discussion of the identity of texts and translations is provided. Conflict of identities is identified through a quick review of power relations between the colonizer and the colonized. Thoughts and views about translation as reconciliation are presented. Then, reconciliation is sought through a discussion of literary translation stressing Arabic/French translation and the phenomena of writing in French as a form of translating Algerian experience, thus, setting the ground for reconciliation in the broadest sense.
