| Abstract | Eloquence and translation perform a comparable function as forms of verbal mediation; as such they have encountered the same sort of hostile reactions as adulterations of the truth. After drawing parallels between the two, this essay highlights ways in which the translator, like the orator, adjusts his or her message to the cultural context in which it is likely to be received. In this perspective, the rhetoric of translation, with its twin strategies of domestication and foreignization, is analysed in different translations of the prose of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Fedor Dostoevsky. |

| AbstractList | France explores the parallels between writers and translators and reflects on the rhetorical situation of the literary translator. Translation held an important place among the exercises of rhetoric classes of the eighteeneth and nineteenth centuries. Translation, like many other genres of speech or writing, is a mediation. The article explores the parallels between two mediators, the orator and the translator, to reflect in particular on the rhetorical situation of the literary translator. (Quotes from original text) Eloquence and translation perform a comparable function as forms of verbal mediation; as such they have encountered the same sort of hostile reactions as adulterations of the truth. After drawing parallels between the two, this essay highlights ways in which the translator, like the orator, adjusts his or her message to the cultural context in which it is likely to be received. In this perspective, the rhetoric of translation, with its twin strategies of domestication and foreignization, is analysed in different translations of the prose of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Fedor Dostoevsky. |
