La redéfinition des rôles du traducteur de théâtre face à l’essor du surtitrage

During the first two decades of the twenty-first century, we can observe an unprecedented shift in the practice of theatrical translation and a revision of the role of the theater translator. Nowadays, scenic translation methods, including surtitling, put in question the traditional perception of the key concepts of translatology such as translator, equivalence, translation process and methods or even the text. In this paper, based on the theoretical works, the voices of the researchers and theater professionals, the author discusses the status and roles of the theatrical translator as well as the challenges of his activity in the context of the modern theories of theater translation.
