Abstract

French-language Belgian literature constitutes a vast corpus of texts, linked to a specific language and to a given geographic and social area. When examining the translations of works by French-speaking Belgian authors and their conditions of production, the following questions can be asked: which works and authors are privileged and why? How are the texts translated and for whom? By which publishing houses are the translations published? How are the translations received and how do they influence the literature of the host culture? This volume brings together the views of sixteen researchers from different backgrounds on the translation of Belgian-French literary works.
