### Spécialisations de recherche et champs d'intérêt **La traduction et le désir, une théorie contrapuntique du traduire** En vue d’une monographie: *Transparent Desire: the contrapuntal future of translation* **Création littéraire et traduction** Intégration des théories, pratiques et pédagogies de la traduction et du « creative writing ». **Calligrammes, logogrammes et poésie concrète** **Idéologies en traduction et en traductologie : impérialismes, genre(s)** **La stratification fonctionnelle (et la théorie *skopos*)** **Nouvelles technologies de la lecture et de la rédaction, et l’*hypothèse synoptique*** L’*hypothèse synoptique*: à l’avenir, les modes de la réception et de la composition textuelles deviendront progressivement et irréversiblement synoptiques. De multiples versions d’un texte, et de ses para-textes, seront simultanément lues, récrites et augmentées par des intervenants individuels ou par des groupes de collaborateurs. Par conséquent, l’absence ou l’inaccessibilité présumées du texte source dans le contexte de la réception du texte cible ne sera plus tenable dans la traductologie. ### Diplômes universitaires **PhD (Doctorat) en Théorie et création littéraire** University of Glasgow, Écosse Titre : *Amrit Singh and* The Birmingham Quean*: fictions, fakes and forgeries in a vernacular counterculture* Co-directeurs de thèse : Adam Piette, Willy Maley Date de soutenance : 29 septembre 2006 Date d’obtention : 30 novembre 2006 Jury : John Coyle (Président) Sean O’Brien (Examinateur externe) Andrew Radford (Examinateur interne) **MA with First Class Honours in English Literature and Language**, University of Glasgow 1999 (Maîtrise ès Arts avec mention très bien avec félicitations du jury: Littérature et Linguistique.

### Research specialisations **Transparency and Desire, contrapuntal translation theory** Monograph in preparation: *Transparent Desire: the contrapuntal future of translation* **Creative Writing and Translation** Integration of the theories, practices and pedagogies of translation and creative writing. A key concept is the Creative Calque **Calligrammes, Logogrammes and Concrete Poetry** **Ideologies in translation and translation studies: imperalisms, gender/genre(s)** **Functional Layering (and Skopos Theory)** The imaginative (and sometimes literal) separation of source text and target text into layers with diverse functions in both the analysis and production of translations. The stratified extra-dimensional approach to translation has ethical as well as technical and creative applications. **New Technologies of Reading and Writing, and the Synoptic Hypothesis** The Synoptic Hypothesis: Modes of textual reception and composition will become increasingly and irreversibly synoptic, such that multiple versions of a text and its paratexts can be read, rewritten and appended – both by individuals and groups of collaborators – together and more or less simultaneously. Were the hypothesis proven, one simple upshot would be that the assumed absence or inaccessibility of the source text in reception of a target text would no longer be tenable in translation theory. ### University Degrees **PhD in Creative Writing and Literary Theory**, University of Glasgow, **2006**: *Amrit Singh and The Birmingham Quean: Fictions, Fakes and Forgeries in a Vernacular Counterculture* **MA with First Class Honours in English Literature and Language**, University of Glasgow, **1999**.
