Introduction
摘要
I have always been fascinated by translation: the way meaning changes from one language and culture to another, the potential for introducing new ideas or for manipulating content and the common assumption that originals and translations are the same, as if translation was an objective activity. As an academic, my work has focused on voices for as long as I can remember: first researching voices in novels, particularly in the works of Virginia Woolf in French translation (Bosseaux, 2007), then moving on to dubbing considering the voices of actors (Bosseaux, 2015) and now working on audiovisual testimonies focusing on how the voices of those who have been in vulnerable situations are rendered in translation. Behind my work has always been a desire to make sure that the voices of characters in novels or films as well as those of real individuals are represented as respectfully and powerfully as possible in translation.
