This article presents a "transparent" retranslation of a passage from William Faulkners The Hamlet by McGill University's Research Group in Translatology (known by its French acronym, GRETI), accompanied by an introductory text outlining some elements of the Group's positioning. By "transparency," the GRETI does not mean that the work of the translator should be invisible; on the contrary, the author posits that s/he must inevitably be seen as a hermeneutical pole. The re﷓actualization intends to account for two aspects of Faulkners text that were adversely affected in René Hilleret's initial translation, which obliterated both the sociolectal component of the novel and its comic effects. To properly render these in the retranslation, the author has chosen to draw on the resources of Québécois vernacular, thus producing a precise geographic anchoring ﷓ one motivated not by a desire to naturalize Faulkner, both rather to present his work to readers in French﷓speaking countries via Québec. The notes accompanying the translation operate according to the macrotext, taking into account the identity of the characters and their power relationships, situations of enunciation, the previous choices and the isotopies of the novel.
