Abstract

DIFFERENT ROLES OF LITERARY FEMALE TRANSLATORS IN THE CANADIAN CONTEXT: THE EXAMPLE OF LORI SAINT-MARTIN The activities undertaken by female translators in the Canadian context definitely go beyond the traditionally observed framework. This is mainly due to the specific role of the translation itself, which is regulated at the institutional level. In addition, translation is understood very broadly, often becoming one of the tools for creativity. This overview shows the different roles of translation in Canada, as well as the different roles of female translators, who are also authors and, in the case of feminist translation and “translation in the feminine”, influence the perception of the translation process itself. All these roles are concentrated in the activities of Lori Saint-Martin, translator, author, and researcher, whose last essay Un bien nécessaire. Éloge de la traduction littéraire has been subjected to a broader analysis.
