Abstract EN:

We will analyze three French theories of translation (Danica Seleskovitch, Antoine Berman and Jean-René Ladmiral) in our work. We will try to answer the question by our study: how is the translation theorized in the contempory time? What interests us most is the way of thinking the translation: the angle chosen to study the translation, the ground of observation, the questions which are studied in these three theories and the evolution of each theory. We would like to place this work in the framework of the meta-theoretical studies. We hope that it will help to understand the stakes of theorizing the translation in the contempory time. The experience of translation as the basis of the translation studies plays always an important role in the theorization of translation. It concerns especially the question of epistemology in the translation studies. The experience of translation is not used in the same way in these three theories. The question of to-be-translated (what should be transfered from the source text to the target text) is a central subject in the discussion about translation, because to define and to redefine this problem is the most powerful ̎engin" in theorizing the translation. The discussion about the to-be-translated involves the questions such as the sens, the effect, the litteralism and the ethics in the translation studies. The translation studies in the contemporary time are rather a field of reflexity. The philosophy as a discours of authority in the humains sciences influences the thoughts about translation.
