Eu-topíasA Journal on Interculturality, Communication, and European Studieshttp://eu-topias.orgWastes and wilds of the Third Text, a roving topos betweenSamuel Beckett’s self-translations of L’Innommable and TheUnnamableAuthor : Lily Robert-FoleyDate : 10 June, 2017AbstractUsing the theoretical tools of reflections on self-translation and the heritage of Deconstruction andPostcolonial thinking, this article strives to deform discourse surrounding a canonical author. It constructsa third text in-between the self-translation of Samuel Beckett’s The Unnamable and L’Innommable. Thethird text is a performative space, where reading takes immediate form in its rewriting, its transformation.It creates new syntagms, figures, stories and themes in the transport routes shared by translation andmetaphor. After a brief look at work on self-translation, specifically in Beckett, the article attempts todeconstruct theory with practice, reading (and thus rewriting) translations of the same, instances of self-allegory, and figures of displacement in time and space.KeywordsSelf-translation, deconstruction, Beckett, L’innommable, The Unnamable Full text (pdf)Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)                               1 / 1
