Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to examine the contrast between the traditional conception of translation, supported by the main disciplines dedicated to language studies from a logocentric point of view, for which the translator's task is necessarily a "problem" and, often, an impossibility or even an embarrassment, and the reflections which have begun to proliferate particularly at the end of the 1980's, under the influence of post-structuralism or post-modernism, and which have freed translation from its ancient stigma of "theoretical problem". This paradigm shift opens up reassuring perspectives for translation both as a practice and as an object of inquiry within language studies
