📣👻 I'm happy to announce the publication of my chapter "It Came from Translations! Horror Fiction for Young French Readers" in this collective volume; I studied the key role played by translation in the 1990s and 2000s in creating horror fiction for children and YA in French. tinyurl.com/5fv37rnx

The book cover features a painting by Polish painter Aleksandra Waliszewska, with a woman standing her back to us and looking outside at night at the sea. Two big yellow eyes are hovering in the night sky and are staring back at her and at us. Underneath the painting you can read the title of the book, Translating Horror - Shadows on the Page and Screen, Edited By Paschalis Nikolaou.

📣 Heureuse de participer le 3 avril à cette journée d'études sur la traduction pour la jeunesse, durant laquelle je vais pouvoir faire dialoguer mes trois passions : la traduction, la littérature jeunesse et le genre horrifique. Merci aux collègues de Lille pour l'invitation et pour l'organisation !

J'ai l'habitude que la langue déclenche des passions, mais là j'ai eu des réactions insoupçonnées ("elle nous traite de fin de race", "wesh c'est mieux?" "si, Molière, c'est noble") à propos de cette vidéo, alors qu'il ne s'agit que d'éléments historiques et textuels factuels! @tract-linguistes.org
