Abstract

In this chapter, Weber discusses the necessary presence of the translating professional and the reticence not to sacrifice the exclusive relation ‘caretaker-patient’ by working with a third party. On the one hand, that ‘third party’ is often seen as a tool for the word-for-word translation. On the other hand, it can also be considered as a ‘subject’ of the interaction. Among other items, the socio-professional diversity of the caretakers is highlighted.
