Au revoir Hassan Babelmed rend hommage à Hassan Abbas décédé le 7 mars 2021 à Dubaï (Emirats arabes Unis). Que le grain qu’il a semé donne un jour sa récolte dans une nouvelle Syrie libre et démocratique, car ce sont précisément les hommes et les femmes de cette trempe, de ce courage, et de cet humanisme qui permettent de garder espoir.

The challenge of translating poetry | Babelmed

The challenge of translating poetry Translating poetry is an act of creativity. It is a complex work consisiting of making continuous choices, not only of words, but also of colours, smells, sounds and texture to give to a poem when translating it from one language to another, from a culture to another, from a world to another. It is also a way of wearing the skin of the author himself (like an actor does), trying to absorb the emotions before carving them out in of words in another language without knowing beforehand the forms they may take, the picture they will draw. There are of course numerous challenges to this including the translation of metaphors, rthythm, rhyme, onomatopoeia. In another language these aspects might be flat so one needs to recreate others to compensate and maintain poetic balance. Translating poetry is also a very subjective activity and everything depends on the sensibility of the translator. A poem translated by five different people will be in five different versions.

Social networks, a weapon for revolution? | Babelmed

Social networks, a weapon for revolution? Facebook, Twitter, and the blogs of young Tunisians have played a very important role in the recent Tunisian revolution. And yet, how can one measure their real impact? Could social networks become a weapon for revolutionary movements in dictatorial states?
