Le titre: Deux sorte de « miroir » (verre)
Les minorités invisibles
If we find ourselves in an English-speaking world, we must guard against expressing
our innermost feelings through English under a false Irish veneer. Should this happen,
Irish distinctivness would disappear even more quickly than the language itself.
Maybe, it’s already too late.) (my translation Maolmhaodhóg Ó Ruairc, in his preface
to Dúchas na Gaeilge, a study of Irish-English translation difficultie

Les leçons des langues minoritaires
- Elles ont beaucoup à enseigner aux langues majoritaires qui sont si gonflées
Ne pas explorer ces langues est le plus grand
The difficulty for a minority language in this situation is that it gets fixated on a
symbolic combat whose terms have been defined by a more powerful Other, so that
minority-language translators confine themselves to the translation of high-culture
texts and neglect all the other realms of human experience that constitute a culture
L’ARTICLE
Pathologie de l’universlisme et des différences
For the universalist, translation is an obstacle to – not an agent of – intercultural
communication
Minority languages that are constantly under social, economic and cultural pressure
must, of course, often champion difference, if only to offer cogent reasons for their
own survival. However, the rhetoric of difference can ultimately breed a conformism
as stifling as the gospel of universalism
