Penser la traduction dans une perspective herméneutique : la contribution de Gadamer à la traductologie
It is well known that the phenomenon of translation plays an important role in Gadamer's philosophy as a hermeneutical model that emphasizes the universality of the linguistic element, but less obvious is whether his philosophy could be of any help for translation studies. This dissertation is an attempt to show that Gadamers's conciliating thinking – as exemplarily presented in his ideas of fusion of horizons, dialogical understanding and participation – could not only enable the translatology to think the success of translation outside of the binary theoretical framework in which it evolves, but could also contribute to justify the participation of the translator in the process of rendering the meaning of a text in a new language, a role that certainly goes beyond the sole linguistic transfer, without being, per se, subjective.
