Under their aegis, the number of qualified interpreter candidates plummeted: The position was filled by a person Court Interpreting The oral exam in use to qualify interpreters since the s was waived. New applicants were required only to take a written exam a multiple-choice language competency test and have an interview. The requirement in the job description, that interpreters have at least one year of paid professional experience, was waived. The state association has no influence over practice in the field.

No statute, rule of court, or policy is in place stating that interpreters need any qualification other than the avowed ability to speak Spanish. For many years, we worked hard to create a professional practice that many judges took for granted as the norm. No one on the bench now remembers how interpreters struggled back in the seventies: Speed is now of the essence in all things judicial, and the Office of the Court Interpreter has all but in name been dismantled. Let us have a moment of silence.

Anonymous The question that must be asked is this: Which is more representative of court interpreting practice in the US federal and state court system: What is undeniable is that increasing globalization has led to greater linguistic diversity in the court system, both civil and criminal, of many countries. The cost of judicial lack of awareness of best practice: Pagoada in Kentucky In addition to the quantitative problems caused by the results of an increasingly globalized world, there always remain pockets of ignorance: Costly appeals, not to say miscarriages of justice and retrials, have resulted from such lack of awareness.

While certain states and cities make major efforts to secure appropriate interpreters and strive for best practice, others lag behind, sometimes grievously. Where there has been progress, as in Maricopa County, Arizona, ground may subsequently be lost, and headway gained can be sacrificed to administrative mismanagement. On the other hand, awareness is creeping in and some states are gradually making up lost ground.

The Kentucky case of Santos Adonay Pagoada is representative of those jurisdictions which previously had no need to address interpreting issues. Framer discusses and analyses the issues arising in the case. She notes that during a crucial part of the trial, the judge held a side bar with the attorneys, Pagoada, and the interpreter with the commendable intention of making absolutely sure that the defendant understood his right to testify or not to testify.

Framer observes that the effect was that of listening to somebody imitate a person speaking a foreign language. The interpreter also carried on independent conversations with the defendant and did not interpret these conversations back to counsel or the judge. However, the judge was unaware of the abysmal quality of the interpreted version. Framer provides a small excerpt to illustrate the tenor of these exchanges: And based on their decision, if he is convicted if they find him guilty of any level on which I instruct…. As to whether he committed the murder.

Here is what he needs to know. If he is, if he believes that he can convince a jury that he was defending himself, he needs to make that decision as to where enough has been said, or if he needs to say more. Do you think that they did hear lots of evidence to say, oh yes, this guy was defending his life? All right then, I think that whether he accepts it or not, it has been explained to him as adequately as it possibly can be. Framer Clearly the judge was acting on the assumption that what he said was being accurately conveyed to and understood by the defendant, not that he was being provided with something that was closer to nonsense in Spanish.

The underlying reasons for this assumption were stated clearly in the decision on the Pagoada motion: This case reveals that this is a false assumption. No one was aware of this distinction at the time. After observing that there is nothing easy about any trial where liberty is at stake and a victim is at loss, and that it is even less so when there are multiple languages involved, the court summed up by saying: After observing that Pagoada was entitled to such fairness regardless of his ability to speak and comprehend English, it concluded: She reports that in April , after a successful appeal for ineffective assistance of counsel that went hand in hand with the use of untrained and unqualified interpreters, Pagoada won a new trial, where he was provided with two federally certified interpreters.

While eleven jurors favoured acquittal one juror held out. Ultimately, after deliberating for 10 hours and being sequestered overnight, the jurors compromised to find Pagoada guilty of reckless homicide, and he was released from prison for time served. It would not be overstating the case to say that the competent interpretation at the retrial made all the difference between the original year jail sentence for murder and being found guilty of reckless homicide at a retrial.

Dealing with rare languages in the United States — Vai in Maryland Kanneh and Tigrinya in Florida Tesfamariam On a brighter note, interpreter networking, particularly using email, to locate appropriate individuals for rare languages has become common at the time of writing, and is often far more effective than the efforts of a court secretariat. Two early twenty-first century cases will illustrate the point effectively. One involves bad practice; one good.

One is the Maryland case of Mahamu Kanneh, who was indicted in December on nine counts of rape, sex abuse and child abuse in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County. The State of Maryland appealed. In fact, the State had managed to locate three Vai interpreters, the last of whom was in fact present at the last hearing at which the charges were dropped.

At a motions Court Interpreting As a result, the trial judge postponed the trial date until May 8, Again, at a motions hearing on May 3, , the parties informed the court that it was likely that they would be unable to secure an interpreter by the trial date, and the trial date was postponed until October 16, A newspaper report indicated that many of the appellate judges seemed sceptical that Kanneh really needed an interpreter in the first place, since he had lived in the United States for years and attended high school there.

Tamber quotes the latter as saying: Immigration officials took Kanneh into custody after the state charges against him were dropped, and a deportation order was entered in November Grzincic A contrasting case involves a Tigrinya-speaking defendant on murder charges. The authorities in Broward County, Florida, had to find a Tingrinya interpreter to translate for Mesfin Tesfamariam, a man from Eritrea who had been in the United States for only about a year prior to his arrest on murder charges in July As far as French and English are concerned, on the whole the situation is satisfactory.

However, the same cannot be said of other languages. It was when Mr. Justice Casey Hill began hearing what he originally believed would be an ordinary appeal alleging unacceptable trial delay at the Peel Region courthouse that he discovered, instead, the scandal that was long in the brewing. Yet despite the inherent vulnerability of so many Peel Region residents — newcomers to Canada not fluent in English, sometimes poor and Court Interpreting Justice Hill heard evidence that from through the early part of , unaccredited interpreters — responsible for translating a total of 10 languages into English — who had failed the Ontario test at least once had worked a total of 2, days.

In the same time period, 19 interpreters — translating 25 other languages — who had never taken the test at all worked court days. This information is contained in a review of interpreter invoices, a document which according to Mr. Though the problem was revealed in the summer of to Justice and government officials, the practice continued in Peel Region, with Justice Hill noting that in alone, unaccredited interpreters were used 54 times in court, and unaccredited interpreters who had failed the test worked in 96 instances Blatchford a.

The following situation graphically illustrates the kind of situation that can result from careless, not to say potentially criminally reckless unethical behaviour, in this case by an interpreter co-ordinator. A Hindi-speaking woman called Manjeet Bhandhal was hired at the Brampton courthouse at a time when what they needed was a Punjabi-speaking interpreter.

Bhandhal was apparently quite open that she had never spoken Punjabi before in her life, but was nonetheless assigned to do just that in weekend bail courts. Bhandhal cannot even read Punjabi. It appears that the quality of her interpretation played a role in a case that ended in a mistrial.

Ministry of the Attorney General. However, it is alleged that the Province has used unaccredited individuals as interpreters without advising the court, the parties or counsel, and that the Province does not adequately train, test or monitor interpreters. It is further alleged that the Province continued to use incompetent interpreters even after it became aware that they were not competent to interpret court proceedings. The Province is alleged to have ignored or failed to heed complaints about interpreters, training, monitoring and procedures raised by inquiries, judges, crowns, counsel and even Ministry staff Girard An undervalued and misunderstood profession, or reason to hope?

Sidhu did not get a fair trial because the interpreter who was provided was not competent. If states are given assistance to develop, implement and improve state court interpreter certification programs in order to ensure fair trials for individuals with limited English proficiency, will those authorities that need these court interpreters actually pay them sufficiently well to make the profession of court interpreter one to which suitable Court Interpreting If, as is alleged in this class action, the Province of Ontario has ignored or failed to heed complaints about interpreters, training, monitoring and procedures raised by inquiries, judges, crowns, counsel and even Ministry staff, what is the point of striving for quality?

Are such efforts condemned to failure? Is this specific to Canada, or is it made special by the detailed action taken by Mr. Justice Hill in combination with several concerned lawyers to ferret out and publicize the shameful truth? Perhaps a pessimistic note is not justified.

She notes that in the last decade, the states have begun to develop programs to recruit, test and assign court interpreters. At least 40 states have joined the Consortium for State Court Interpreter Certification, to obtain access to exams assessing the competence of their interpreters. As a result, states seeking to improve their interpreter programs have examples to follow. Encouragingly, she reports, a revitalized federal Department of Justice is now energetically enforcing civil rights laws.

And federal legislators are looking for ways to provide state court systems with additional funding for essential court interpreter services. Washington State, Oregon, California, New Jersey, New York and a few other states do well at providing competent interpreters in criminal and often civil cases. Most larger states and metropolitan cities are doing well for the most part. In contrast, in rural counties and in states with a smaller limited-English speaking population, there tend to be no training, no policies, and no interpreter program.

Some systems outsource to commercial language agencies with no knowledge, no training, and no standards. Is there any hope that the situation in Scotland will improve? Over a period of more than a decade, research identifying issues, literature reviews and the introduction of an outsourcing system do not appear to have brought about any improvement.

Will outsourcing in Ireland remain a fact of life despite user dissatisfaction with the service provided? Is there any chance that interpreters in California, dissatisfied with their lack of career prospects, will leave the profession? Will the judicial profession come to understand the professionalism that is needed in order to provide competent court interpreting? Only time will determine the answers to these and numerous other questions.

Advocacy on the part of court interpreter associations and their members continues, but as economic and other factors increasingly come to the fore in determining practice in the legal system, the likelihood of positive change diminishes. Those concerned about court interpreting issues should not only hope for improvement, but also continue to work to ensure that court interpreting is no longer an undervalued and misunderstood profession.

Experience, however, has shown that this may be wishful thinking. Writing about the contractual provision of interpreters to public services in Scotland, Lalmy writes: Lalmy further points out that despite the various press headlines over the last five years or so pointing out those agencies failing to provide adequate interpreters, he has still not come across a case where public services have sued an interpreting agency for breach of contract.

Writing in , Lalmy argues that over the last decade there was plenty of time for the agencies to bring up to standard those interpreters not fully qualified on their register, and such an exception would solely apply to a very specific dialect from a remote part of the world. This particular loophole seems to be responsible for the yawning abyss between stated intentions about best practice and actual deficient hands-on practice that enables the Scottish legal system to continue, under a brand-new tender, to perpetuate its former shortcomings.

The Columbus Dispatch report finished with the bald statement that there was no standard qualification process for interpreters in Ohio, according to a Supreme Court report. Losing a child in the translation Most of this article has focused on interpreters who work in the court system.

However, the ramifications of inadequate linguistic arrangements by the public services inevitably have a far wider impact on the lives of second-language speakers than the narrower court setting, although often that is where those affected finish up. For example, a US Spanish-language radio programme at the beginning of June discussed the forced-adoption case of Chatina migrant Cirila Baltazar. It was reported that a court in Mississippi was about to terminate the parental rights of this Mexican immigrant woman, who was also facing the risk of deportation.

By court order, the US born child was subsequently given in adoption to a local family. Advocates were challenging the process arguing that the woman, a Chatino-speaking migrant from the highlands in Southern Mexico, had not been able to defend herself. The authorities made no effort to locate a Chatino interpreter, Ms. The mother, the report continued, was accused of being poor and not being able to provide for her child.

No one asked the mother to provide evidence of support. Reportedly she owns a home in Mexico and a store which provides both secure shelter and financial support, not counting the nurturing of a loving family of two other siblings, a grandmother, aunts, uncles and other extended family. Through the Internet, at least, appears that there is some chance of justice speaking, even if it is in a whisper.

Since most of the community interpreters of today were interpreters in their late childhood and adolescence, getting a glimpse into their lives and experiences may help researchers and teachers of interpreting understand the habitus and ideology of these individuals who later may populate interpreting classrooms and workplaces. This paper explores some of their experiences and perceptions as well as the controversies surrounding their role.

Introduction When a family of immigrants settles on a new land where a societal language different than their own is spoken, it is not unusual to see bilingual youngsters brokering communication for their families and immediate communities. In the next sections of this paper we explore some of these experiences. We start with a brief discussion on the bilingualism of these young interpreters.

Then we look at the controversies surrounding their role as family interpreters and the relationship of this controversy and empirically founded arguments. In so doing we look at how young interpreters perceive themselves and how they are perceived by their families and the immediate communities which use their services. Angelelli interpreters in private family matters or public service settings. I concur with those who argue that it is the responsibility of the institutions and organizations that interact with speakers of minority languages to provide them with interpreting services so that they can fully participate in society.

Rather, I intend to expose and reflect on situations that surround the lives of bilingual youngsters. The paper ends with some suggestions for incorporating coursework on translation and interpreting at high school levels. Definitions and Typologies of Bilingualism Bilingual youngsters who act as language brokers for their families vary significantly in their age, level of language ability in each of the languages they use, degree of literacy in both languages they speak, motivation, affect, and views on the tasks they perform. Most of these bilingual youngsters become family interpreters because they have a certain degree of command of two languages.

In other words, it is not just their bilingualism, but rather their ability to put their bilingualism to work to broker communication for their immediate family that sets them apart to become family interpreters. Bilingualism is complex and multifaceted. The mainstream literature on interpreting fails to problematize sufficiently the relationship between interpreting and bilingualism.

In a way it assumes that language competency is monolithic and that equilingualism can be assumed. For the purpose of this paper we will limit our discussion to the terms elective and circumstantial bilinguals. Most of the young interpreters who broker communication for their families are children of immigrants, and therefore can be considered circumstantial bilinguals.

An elective bilingual is an individual who becomes bilingual by choice, and a circumstantial bilingual is forced by life circumstances to add a language other than the mother tongue to fully participate in the new society. In other words, a person, be it a child or an adult, becomes bilingual by choice, when there is a desire to learn another language either to travel, become familiar with another culture, etc.

Regardless of who makes it, it is still a choice to be made by members of the family. This second type of bilingualism is referred to as circumstantial bilingualism. Unlike elective bilingualism that generally occurs in individuals, circumstantial bilingualism is more frequent among groups that move together to the target nation e.

These young bilinguals generally have not acquired another language based on a choice, as it is the case of bilinguals who populate second or foreign language classes, but rather had to acquire the language in order to survive in and integrate themselves into the new society. Most of the bilingual youngsters who become family interpreters are circumstantial bilinguals. As mentioned earlier, they are socialized into this role given their abilities with languages and with processing information and their willingness to help their families.

They generally are the younger generations of a family of immigrants, those that are being schooled in the new societal language.

The language broker role performed by circumstantial bilinguals, however, is not uncontroversial, especially when performed by minors. In the next section we explore the main issues surrounding the roles of young bilinguals as language brokers. A controversial role As mentioned earlier, the language-broker role is often performed by circumstantial bilinguals who are attending elementary, middle or high school.

This role however, is not necessarily limited to children and young adolescents. De Ment, Buriel and Villanueva Department of Health and Human Services, the National Center for Cultural Competence, Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development, and the legislature, either expressly discourage or severely condemned the use of minors in health care interpreting.

Even when there are instances in which bilingual youngsters have to interpret for their parents and members of their immediate families because society cannot meet their communicative needs, the presence of these bilingual youngsters is either denied or regarded with some suspicion. This may be due to the fact that US welfare departments, as well as other agencies receiving federal assistance through the Department of Social Services in charge of administering Public Assistance e.

So having children performing roles that agencies should be offering is definitely problematic. According to the Modern Language Association data of , In addition to English and Spanish, 2. Over languages are known to be spoken and read in California Modern Language Association, Due to the use of ad-hoc interpreters, various bills and regulations have been created to impede children from interpreting for relatives, including their parents in health care institutions Yee, Diaz and Spitzer Additionally, untrained interpreters such as a bilingual janitor or native speakers or bilinguals who volunteer to act as interpreters have been notably criticized when used in health care institutions Allen ; Baker, Hayes and Fortier ; Cambridge ; Gilbert ; Marcus Interestingly, it appears that the use of untrained interpreters among whom we include bilingual youngsters has started a discussion regarding the value of health care, how societies struggle to accommodate the linguistic needs of its members, and how access to services for speakers of non-societal languages in a multilingual society continues to be problematic.

Bilingual Youngsters Brokering Communication: Participating in this ethnographic study were eleven families and 25 bilingual youngsters enrolled in two different high schools. Thirteen were entering ninth graders enrolled in a remedial summer school program all of them Latinos and spoke Spanish at home and twelve were juniors and seniors advanced in Advanced Placement Spanish ten Latinos who spoke Spanish at home and two students from India enrolled in Spanish as a Foreign Language.

The student population was considered at risk of abandoning school. These twenty five students were asked to take part in a simulated interpreting task in order to identify, study and assess their interpreting skills. Angelelli representative of what these youngsters were asked to do in their schools e.

Through systematic observations of the bilingual youngsters at school and at home, as well as by a series of in-depth interviews with eleven of the youngsters themselves and their families and teachers, we gained an understanding of how, when, why and with whom young interpreters use the two languages and the circumstances in which they interpret. This research also shed light on the perceptions that youngsters have of their own role as family interpreters, as well as the perceptions that both parties using them to communicate parents and community members have about them 4.

With the exception of one, all came from working-class families, were foreign born, and had emigrated at an average age of eight. When youngsters were asked to recall the situations in which they interpreted more frequently they mentioned at home, in their apartment complex where they sometimes helped other neighbors, in the neighborhood, at church, in stores, at school, in work settings and at health care, business and legal settings. Their recollection of settings coincides with those of their parents except for the church.

Youngsters explained how they interpreted because they had to help their families as no one else was there for them. They spoke of what they did with some pride. In many cases they also shared they had volunteered their help to members outside their families, as they realized they could not communicate in English and they could lend a hand. In order to ascertain their level of English and Spanish, we used both languages during the interviews.

For the most parts, participants answered in the language they were asked and in only two occasions they changed to their more dominant language. When asked to discuss their performances, or how they knew if they were doing a good job, they mentioned they could tell they were successful when they could understand the message and made the other two parties understand the same message too.

They were able to articulate more and less successful experiences, which is revealing about their metalinguistic and metacognitive awareness. Sometimes, Spanish was not enough. During the interviews parents reported that they enlisted the help of their children when they need to communicate in English and interpreters are not provided. Examples included communicative needs at home answer the telephone, talk to people at the door , at the apartment complex talk to the manager, explain safety rules , at school to enroll a child in school, make an appointment, communicate with teachers, translate information received from school in English , at clinics and other health care institutions to make an appointment, to communicate with doctors and nurses , at work settings for filling out applications , in stores to ask questions, to shop , and at other organizations, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles to obtain a driver license, or businesses or legal settings.

Parents talked about having their sons or daughters interpreting for them as part of a family team effort, even when they could have friends interpret for them they also brought their children because they were an extra set of ears in the conversation, they valued the trust they had on them. They reported always appointing the older child as the family interpreter because they thought older children had spent more years at school and therefore their English could be stronger, and also because some public or business settings would not take younger children very seriously. Parents also expressed that they preferred children who were confident, extroverted, good-natured, and who liked to be social and friendly.

This was due to existing requirements governing access to services see section 3. Angelelli Interestingly, while initially teachers classified the students as low level English speakers, their English skills were functional when interpreting for their families. Although they committed minor mistakes which caused linguistic dis-fluencies, they managed to communicate the meaning of the message which was well understood by the interlocutors. Additionally, their interpreting abilities were so sophisticated that they could even transmit the tone and stance of the English message to their parents.

Neither the experiences these youngsters had, nor the validation of their talents were in sync between school and home. Many times at school, bilingual adolescents were placed in the lowest ESL course, however at home they were able to read, translate and interpret complex and intricate materials in English for their parents and family members. Additionally, the common trend for children of second and third generation immigrant families is to accept and adjust to the new culture and its language, which tends to lead to the loss of their native language. In spite of this trend, the students in our study acquired English and maintained their home languages e.

Even though teachers of the language used at home Spanish disapproved on the non-standardness of their Spanish, these adolescents functioned successfully in interpreting for new arriving immigrants of diverse educational backgrounds and ages. These young interpreters were often called upon to aid teachers at school by interpreting for a new student or to translate written messages to be sent to the parents at home.

This was also the case for the participants in the study of Puerto Rican children living in New York Zentella In a way, these young interpreters were carrying out a similar task to the one professional translators and interpreters perform. What sets them apart from professional interpreters is that they are not socialized into the idea of neutrality, due to the fact that they are mediating different interactions between members of communities with which they have strong bonds and cultural ties.

Many times the situations involve the welfare of their family members. This makes the act of interpreting much more personal and sensitive for them, and, to some degree, some may perceive that their participation in these situations is a moral obligation. As I have argued above, the way in which these young bilinguals, who are heritage speakers of a non-societal language, go about mediating communicative needs reveal important information about their abilities.

Interestingly, in the United States, these abilities generally are perceived as average or even as non successful by their regular schooling programs. It is not unusual to see heritage speakers tracked in English as a Second Language classes, or remedial English. In a society as diverse as the United States, nurturing and enhancing the linguistic talents of heritage speakers and young bilinguals who may or may not become language interpreters later in their lives is an imperative.

Bilingual youngsters are an untapped linguistic resource for our nation. In addition to national security and international interactions, the US is a linguistically diverse territory and many times educated interpreters are not available to deal with every day communicative needs of its people.

Many times, however, these linguistic talents go un-nurtured and overlooked in spite of the increased need for interpreters. If programs were created to enhance their special linguistic abilities then bilingual youngsters would be able to recognize the value of knowing two or more languages. In addition, they would value their own interpreting and translating skills that they use to help members of their communities. Angelelli positive attention in a classroom, be encouraged to speak two languages, and be assisted in improving their skills as interpreters.

It would also help them as they begin the road of socialization into this role. Through simple definitions and examples, in an introductory course on Translation and Interpreting at high school, students could be encouraged to reflect on their own bilingualism. The following paragraph illustrates an example of a story that introduces terms that students may use to reflect on their own bilingualism.

We know that when she was little she spoke only Spanish. After being in school for a few years she started to speak and read English. The dominant language is the language in which we feel more comfortable when we express ourselves, either orally or in writing.

Even though the first language she learned was Spanish, or her native language, because of her experiences, her dominant language as she got older changed from Spanish to English. In addition, in Example 2 we see a sample activity that could be used with students to reflect on their own bilingualism. Students could be reading about bilingualism, discussing the different types of bilinguals, reflecting on their own linguistic history, on what is commonly said about bilingual individuals, and they could learn to identify common myths and facts.

What are some myths involving bilingualism? Turn to your neighbor, and tell him or her two of them and explain why it is a myth. Then give your work partner the opportunity to do the same. How does an individual get defined as a language minority student? Why or why not? Think of and discuss ten positive aspects about being bilingual. It is important to emphasize is that, in order to implement these activities or courses, teachers do not need extensive experience in interpreting and translating, as they will not be preparing professional interpreters. Rather, they will be using translation and interpreting techniques and exercises to enhance what students are already doing, to validate their experiences, and to teach languages.

What is needed is enthusiasm and interest and a desire to explore their own resources and talents in this area. Many different kinds of schools can effectively support a Translation and Interpreting program by following guidelines available to educators. Conclusion Every society must engage in Language Planning and Policy as part of ordinary business in all sectors of society as well as to protect the human rights of individuals within its borders. One could assume that a crucial part of those policies should deal with how linguistic minorities gain access to information in order to access services health, community and enjoy rights education, justice.

A policy governing language interpreting is a crucial and necessary service in a multilingual society to afford all individuals equal access to services and information in society. In the absence of such policies, individuals get organized in ways that are available to them.

In this paper we took a glimpse at how bilingual youngsters step up to the plate to help their parents and members of their immediate families with their communicative needs. In so doing, and may be unintentionally, these bilingual youngsters begin their process of socialization as interpreters. Angelelli what community interpreters do and they exhibit various degrees of success without any education or preparation for these tasks. While discussing these interpreting experiences, both young interpreters and their family members refer to what they do as a team effort, as part of what children and youngsters do to help the family.

Youngsters were not chosen to interpret by chance, but rather on the basis or their language skills and maturity. Ideally all members of society should have their linguistics needs met. In the absence of this, families get organized and resort to their family members, some of them quite young. Although some of these interactions could be considered problematic, as in any instance where children are exposed to topics that are not suitable for their age, the talents these bilingual youngsters exhibit cannot be denied.

Identifying and nurturing the talent that these bilinguals display should not continue to go unnoticed. Rather, those talents need to be nurtured and celebrated.

Translation practice is examined here through the study of the translation of symbolic goods, specifically American literature into French. The habitus of Marcel Duhamel and Maurice-Edgar Coindreau are examined, as well as the illusio specific to the science-fiction field.

Bourdieusian sociology serves as a foundation for raising questions that are often discussed in translation studies but not dealt with in the article —questions of ethics, censorship, resistance, power Introduction The dedication of one of the first issues of MonTI to applied sociology in translation studies is all but insignificant. The new journal highlights that the social aspect is fundamental in translation and that sociology can offer an appropriate theoretical framework for addressing the issue. We would like to present a model for a potential sociology of translation that invokes the ideas of Pierre Bourdieu, whom we believe to be one of the sociologists whose theory is most applicable to translation1.

As a result, the discourse of translation is less likely to succumb to functionalism or mechanism. We will strive modestly to continue this examination. Theory of Literary Translation Practice Bourdieusian social theory is a theory of action3, meaning that it theorizes practice, which we extend to translation, to translation practice. At first glance, this conception brings to mind that of Antoine Berman, who defines translation studies as a reflection on experience4, a term which literally denotes practice.

Nevertheless, practice as defined by Berman is distanced somewhat from the way it is defined by Bourdieu. In order to analyse what translation practice means, we will focus on the translation of literary texts, in this case American literary texts into French. If we consider American literature translated into French from James Fenimore Cooper all the way to, say, Henry Miller , it becomes evident that the publication of translations of American writers into French is regulated according to existing divisions in the target French culture, or the culture of translation, as demonstrated by the theoreticians of the Polysystem school6.

What constitutes these divisions? It is the distribution of texts according to specific traits that contributes to define fields. In literature, fields are defined as: On the Theory of Action We will not dwell on this subject. See Gideon Toury in particular. Every of these texts, be it source or translation, belongs to its own specific literary space7: All of these fields correspond to distinctive literary genres, with the exception of youth fiction, which is defined by its receiving public and is multi-genre. These translation characteristics are not only related to reception: In particular, they relate to translation agents translators, publishers and managers of series, literary agents, literary directors, editors in chief of magazines, critics, etc.

This positions the works in a unique relationship with the social world economic, political…. The lack of a legal framework in is essential for the explanation of this disparity. Nevertheless, legal progress is but one aspect of more fundamental progress, founded on the autonomy of literature in relation to other marketable activities. This leaves a sociological imprint on the translation of particular ways of life see Gouanvic But what is a field? Bourdieu defines a field as follows: Translation is based on the same realities expressed by these notions, in allowing texts to move and to be transformed beyond the cultural and linguistic frontiers under which they are produced.

Thus, the rise in popularity of Americanism that hit Europe, particularly France, after the Second World War may be interpreted in terms of the legitimacy of American culture and way of life that was imposed upon post-war European countries. Translation is a clue to a more general American hegemony in business, science and technology, a hegemony then translated into symbolic capital in literary fields. As stated by John Brown The Habitus of Translators What is the role of the translator under such conditions?

Like the literary agent, publisher, critic and all other agents that are involved in the importation of the source work, its publication and its reception in the target space or specific field , the translator invests his or her capacities in translating according to experience acquired in the translation practice of a given field. Duhamel thus created a team of translators with diverse backgrounds, but rarely intellectual. Bourdieu defines the habitus as follows: The habitus of a translator, founded on distinctions between practices, is constructed on competition with the translations of other publishing houses.

Translators, like any agents, define their actions in relation to one another. The action guidelines received from the literary or series manager come from the distinction that the manager attempts to promote in his or her literary practice and that gives his or her actions specific characteristics. We have analyzed the habitus of Marcel He recognized the homology between the Chouans and the characters in his novels, who had to live in the South after its defeat in the American Civil War. Coindreau did not translate other various writers, in particular Ernest Hemingway11, because of a predilection for his work.

Rather, it was because Gaston Gallimard expressly requested it of him, and Gaston Gallimard was a man that could not be turned down. He left school early probably at the age of There, he learned English by working in a Manchester hotel during the First World War at the age of This small community would become one of the first cradles of the emerging surrealist movement.

He tried his hand at translation without any intentions of being published. Just before the Second World War, he became involved with Tobis-Klangfilm, where he participated in the dubbing of American detective films with Bogart, Paul Muni, etc. Coindreau appreciated literature rather as historical failures overcome by fiction. This might explain why the translation of a novel such as The Grapes of Wrath was abandoned by Illusio and Translation In P. The expressive storytelling techniques that are employed are as complex as in any other genre.

If the translator does not carefully perform his or her task, the translated text will not contain the same illusio potential as the original. Bourdieusian sociology allows for all of the characteristics of translation to be addressed: This final aspect is the nodal point of P.

The aspect of adaptation via abridgment in translated youth fiction is our current focus. After dealing with the translation of American realist novels from to , we are addressing a new question: Essays Towards a Reflexive Sociology. Translated by Matthew Adamson. Translated by Richard Nice.

The Imagined Vocation and Exclusive Knowledge of Translators in Israel1 Rakefet Sela-Sheffy Unit of Culture Research, Tel Aviv University Abstract Inquiring into the suspended professionalization of the translation occupation in Israel, this article examines two types of self-presentational discourses and status strategies — that of top literary translators, on the one hand, and that of technical translators, subtitlers and non-elite literary translators, on the other.

This complex discursive dynamics suggests an artization process which, so I hypothesize, serves as a buffer to professionalization in the field. Introduction The status of translators as invisible, submissive and underrated manpower in the production of imported texts has long been discussed and lamented Venuti , Simeoni In this respect, the situation in Israel is an illustrative example: This means that translators have neither compulsory licensing, nor a monopoly over their work, their knowledge base and the entry of new members to their field. Anyone is allowed to translate.

There is no obligatory formal training, nor regulation of conditions of work and fees. This state of affairs seems puzzling in view of the potential power of translators as culture mediators, especially in multicultural or peripheral social settings, such as the Israeli society.

Given these market prospects, the question arises why professionalization in the field of translation is suspended. In the sociological literature, professionalization is usually seen as a mechanism of gaining status, by systematizing and monopolizing exclusive expert knowledge, skills and procedures, and creating boundaries so as to guarantee closure and control Abott , Freidson , Lardon , 2. The only Israeli Translators Association ITA is a voluntary body and its members are less than half the estimated number of practitioners. This process can be seen as a type of autonomization process, as described by Bourdieu These attempts include establishing professional organizations, diploma programs and academic training, as well as courses and workshops, developing working tools, and even proposing accreditation exams and a unified ethical code.

Yet, except for the case of conference interpreters, all these initiatives have never gained momentum cf. Esta en especial acadou unhas cotas extraordinarias.
