Situated at the intersection of literary studies and translation studies, this project examines the presence and representation of translated foreign literatures in the French literary field during the 1920s, a decade marked by the interplay of national(ist) and international(ist) dynamics. Using an agent-based and socio-discursive approach, it analyses how collective and individual agents – publishing houses and translators – thematize and reflect these dynamics in the context of translated literature series from four publishing houses: Plon, Stock, Le Sagittaire, and Albin Michel. Building on but moving beyond existing sociological approaches focusing on large translation flows, this study will explore the discursive strategies of both self-representation (by publishers and translators) and of hetero-representation, i.e. regarding foreign literatures. Combining methodological concepts from discourse analysis, translation studies and imagology, the series of translated literature will be studied from three complementary angles: extratextual (archival research), paratextual and textual (translation analysis). By foregrounding the often-overlooked role of literary translators, this project aims to offer new insights into the production, publication, and positioning of translated literature series, ultimately contributing to a more nuanced understanding of their role in shaping literary history.
