Excellent- More about Translingual Francophonie and the Limits of Translation
Translingual Francophonie and the Limits of Translation explores the theoretical implications of translation in works by four translingual, francophone authors, emphasizing the productive encounter with otherness in its estuarine dimension. It suggests that translation should relate to the new hosts linguistic and cultural codes while accounting for their strangeness and the challenges of relationality at the border of the encounter.

Translingual Francophonie and the Limits of Translation presents a groundbreaking theoretical framework for examining translation as both a theme and a practice in the works of four translingual, francophone authors: Vassilis Alexakis, Chahdortt Djavann, Nancy Huston, and Andreï Makine. This book specifically advocates for the estuarine dimension of translation as the most fruitful approach to engaging with otherness. When two distinct bodies of water, such as a river and the sea, converge in an estuary, a unique environment is formed at their shared border. This new environment, while distinct from either fresh or sea water, does not diminish the inherent qualities of each water source. Similarly, in the realm of translation, texts should strive to relate to their new linguistic and cultural contexts rather than undergo complete transformation. This approach recognizes the inherent strangeness of the translated text while also accounting for the complexities and gaps that arise from the encounter between different languages and cultures. It encourages the exploration of challenging yet novel and productive articulations of relationality that thrive at the border of translation. By adopting this theoretical lens, Translingual Francophonie and the Limits of Translation offers a fresh perspective on the art and craft of translation, shedding light on the ways in which it can facilitate meaningful cross-cultural communication and understanding.
