Abstract
By achieving his “translations-adaptations ”, Antonin Artaud is looking for himself through the mirror of the other while in the same time he isfighting against the organized structures of text and language. On the one hand, he strives to make affect emerging, to find (again) breath, rhythm, voice, letter, all buried under the instrumental, artificial, inexpressive, devitalized machine-tongue. On the other hand, in order to protect himself against the intrusive joyfulness of the Other, he parodies the original text, expurgating it or complicating it at leisure, focusing particularly on the author’ style as on the preceding translators’ styles, with which he interferes. Nevertheless, we should neither relegate the artaudian translation to a secondary activity nor estimate it only at its healing properties : it constitutes a recurrent, creative and innovating process that invites us to reconsider the status and the limits which define the translator’s task.
