تمثلية الآخر في ميزان التوطين والتغريب

Abstract EN

Translation of the Arabic novel into French presents a very interesting case since it sheds light on the question of the cultural representation of the other and on the role of the translator, among other main actors, in the negotiation of the cultural distance/rapprochement between the Arab novelist and the target audience.

this article is a reflection on the effect of using of one of the global strategies (domestication versus foreignazation) on the other's image by analysing some cultural elements.

we concluded that the translation of culture cannot be done according to only one global strategy but according to a back and forth between these two major strategies because the translational process is subject to several factors (verbal context and general context) which dictate to the translator the choice of the technique (s) to be implemented.
