Pratiques Scandaleuses
The Série Noire was born out of literary scandals (Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer and Kathleen Winsor's Forever Amber) and traded on them. Marcel Duhamel's mission statement of 1948 promised readers violence and depravity. Its early focus on translations of so-called American thrillers also led to scandalous cases of French authors masquerading as Americans (Boris Vian's role in the Vernon Sullivan affair shocked Paris in 1946 and shone light on…
On Moving and (Inter) Disciplinarity
Our aim in this introduction is to position all the articles that comprise this special issue of the Australian Journal of French Studies within a framework of mobility while highlighting how they each, individually, test and move (beyond) certain frames. We are also writing in response to the annual conference of the Australian\nSociety for French Studies, which we co-convened in 2015 and at which the articles included here were presented. As we…
Serializing Sullivan
In 2010, 51 years after his death in 1959, Boris Vian entered the canon of French literary immortals: he was published in Gallimard’s prestigious Bibliothèque de la Pléiade collection. Arguably, however, these are the complete fictional works of two authors: French writer Boris Vian and his black American pseudonymous creation, Vernon Sullivan. For critics like Edmund Smyth this must have represented long overdue recognition of the qualities of t…
Ridges on the floors of Hell»
The Dead Heart is American author Douglas Kennedy’s first novel. It was first translated into French in 1997 as Cul-de-sac . It was this translation that made Kennedy a household name in France and that gave The Dead Heart its identity as a roman noir. In the space of just 20 years the novel has been translated twice into French and adapted twice more, as a film and now as a graphic novel. Elsewhere, we have analyzed this trajectory from the pers…
De Cul-de-sac à Piège nuptial
The fact that a second French translation of American author Douglas Kennedy's thriller The Dead Heart was produced only eleven years after it was first translated provides a rare opportunity to deduce, via comparative analysis of a number of key extracts, the translation strategies at the heart of these two competing translation projects, as commissioned by rival publishing houses. Indeed, given the short timeframe involved, the second translati…
The Practices of Translation
As commentators such as Brian Nelson have argued, literary translation is “a distinctive form of creative writing” that constitutes a “performance” of the source text. The fact that there can exist different translations of a given literary work, for example, is proof enough of the creative role played by the translator. It demonstrates that the translator has choices – choices that are far from trivial, especially when it comes to dealing with w…

Une seule ou plusieurs femmes-truies? Une lecture virtualisante de Truismes de Marie Darrieussecq
Depuis la parution de Truismes de Marie Darrieussecq en 1996, une approche critique a prolifere selon laquelle l’histoire serait celle d’une metamorphose. La double identite de la protagoniste, la dualite de cette heroine oscillant entre femme et truie, a ete trop seduisante pour que ses lecteurs se demandent si cette pluralite du texte ne serait pas plutot illusoire. Loin d’une transformation, ce que nous voyons dans ce roman est plutot la mise …
