La traduction-fiction chez Nicole Brossard

In the 1987, the Québec poet Nicole Brossard published an astonishing novel called Le Désert Mauve (english trad. Mauve Desert), which fictionalises the translation process, conceived in the diegetic world as a translation from a language into the same language. Starting from an interpretation of Brossard’s paradoxical example of translation, this article tries to raise the question of the real object of every translation process.
