Le traduzioni francesi dell'Inferno di Dante Alighieri. Quali sono le tendenze contemporanee nella traduzione in francese dell'Inferno dantesco e quali ne sono le conseguenze?

Abstract

This master's thesis investigates the potential problems linked to translating Dante Alighieri's Divina Commedia in the French language and explores the results of the six latest attempts (published during the years 2010-2019), their similarities and, especially, their differences, with a question in mind: why do we keep translating the great poem and is it still necessary? What comes up is that the modern translation studies do not agree on every point and most translators still struggle to find the right compromise among three principal tendances of what to respect first: the poetical charm, the terza rima and the lines' structure or the clarity in content.
