Inhaltsangabe | In her new translation of Orwell’s 1984, French translator Josée Kamoun opts to set the novel in the present tense and to replace the neologisms of the first translation that have passed into everyday language. Novlangue becomes néoparler, and Big Brother now addresses you as tu. In her essay, she sheds light on her translation decisions and on how this new translation takes us out of our literary comfort zone. |
