“…This literary convention, labelled pseudotranslation or fictitious translation, has then found its way into a series of contributions within Translation Studies (e.g. Popovič 1976, Toury 1995Chesterman 1997;Shuttleworth 1997;Robinson 1998;Lefevere 2000;Malmkjaer, Milton and Smith 2000).

The article outlines the relevance of pseudotranslation for Translation Studies, using a case study of the novelsI, ClaudiusandClaudius, the Godby Robert Graves. The paper provides a list of partly overlapping motivations for adopting pseudotranslation and illustrates this motivation paradigm on the basis of particular findings in Graves’s novels: if an author wants to attribute a pseudotranslation to an existing person, the author has to account for stylistic differences between the pseudotranslation and genuine texts by that person. By claiming to translate from a different source language than the language normally used by the existing person, the author of the pseudotranslation can mask those stylistic divergences.

Cet article est basé sur ma these de maîtrise, dans lequelle j’ai entrepris une recherche centrée sur les phénomènes de domestication et de transformation étrangère en traduction. Le premièr peut-être considéré une violence ethnocenturique à l’égard du text étrangèr alors que le second va dans le sens d’une pression ethnodéviante envers les valeures culturelles de la langue destinante (Venuti 1995) et constitue une tendance prépondérante au sein de la culture de traduction contemporaine (Pym 1996). Dans le but de verifier la validité de ces tendences en traduction, cet article se concentrera sur l’etude d’un extrait de l’oeuvre de Lewis Carroll Alice au pays des merveilles, ainsi que de sa traduction à la fois en espagnol et en japonais.
