Hugh Alexander Papers, 1811-1816 [photocopy]

Hugh Alexander, b. 1780 arrived in Niagara shortly after his birth. He attended school and later apprenticed as a clerk. In 1797 he was granted 200 acres of land in Bertie township and became a merchant and trader in Fort Erie. He was the owner of a sailing vessel, the Chippawa, which he used to transport goods in the area. The ship was lost and/or confiscated as a result of War of 1812 skirmishes on Lake Erie. By 1812 Hugh Alexander was in business together with his brother Ephraim. The Alexander’s storehouse, store and house were burned by the British military when they abandoned Fort Erie ahead of the invading American military in late May 1813. At the time of the burning, Hugh Alexander was engaged as a Lieutenant with the 3rd Lincoln Militia. Prior to this Hugh Alexander had established a second mercantile in Stamford, opposite the green. Misfortune was to strike at this location as well when the British military abandoned the whole of the Niagara area to the invading American forces and the Stamford location was looted. After the end of the hostilities Alexander went on to rebuild his storehouse in Fort Erie and to re-establish his store in Stamford. Hugh Alexander died on November 2, 1817 and is buried in the Stamford Presbyterian Cemetery. Source: George A. Seibel, The Niagara Portage Road: 200 Years 1790-1990.

«Oroonoko» d'Aphra Behn en traduction française (1745-2009)

Ce projet offre une analyse des traductions en langue française du roman d’Aphra Behn, Oronooko, or The Royal Slave (1688). Dans cette œuvre, la première femme à vivre de sa plume présente une des premières formulations du discours abolitionniste de la littérature anglaise et met au défi des idées reçues sur l’esclavage depuis le XVIIe siècle. Le texte a été traduit vers le français pour la première fois par Pierre-Antoine de La Place (Behn, 1745), dont l’interprétation s’inscrit dans la tradition des belles infidèles. Sa version connaît un succès fulgurant jusqu’à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, avec de nombreuses rééditions parues entre 1745 et 1799. En 1990, Bernard Dhuicq publie une retraduction dans le but de faire connaître Behn aux lecteurs français du XXe siècle. En 2008, il contribue à la préparation d’une nouvelle édition de La Place, et une réédition de sa propre traduction parue en 1990. Pour sa part, Guillaume Villeneuve adapte le texte au lectorat francophone d’aujourd’hui avec une édition critique comprenant un important appareil critique publiée dans la collection « GF » des Éditions Flammarion en 2009. Les traductions de La Place, d’Dhuicq et de Villeneuve affichent chacune des variations par rapport à l’original, variations qui reflètent l’intention de ces traducteurs et de leurs éditeurs ainsi que les pratiques traductives et éditoriales de leur époque.. Cette étude montre notamment comment le récit de Behn a contribué à changer la conception occidentale de l’esclavage. Elle analyse la réception des propos idéologiques d’Oroonoko dans la culture littéraire et philosophique française, depuis le XVIIIe siècle jusqu’à nos jours. À travers le cas Oronooko, le présent mémoire offre aussi une réflexion d’ordre méthodologique sur l’étude des retraductions dans une perspective historique. L’étude des retraductions vise aujourd’hui des objectifs plus vastes sur le plan historique que ne l’indique l’hypothèse du progrès en retraduction, selon laquelle un texte est retraduit pour être corrigé ou amélioré. Notre travail montre qu’en associant à l’étude des traductions celle de leur paratexte, de leur péritexte et des sujets (traducteurs et éditeurs) qui les produisent, et ce afin de resituer chaque retraduction dans son contexte historique propre, on parvient à faire entrer ces retraductions dans un dialogue interculturel et « transhistoriciste » (Nouss, 2007).
