J'ai l'habitude que la langue déclenche des passions, mais là j'ai eu des réactions insoupçonnées ("elle nous traite de fin de race", "wesh c'est mieux?" "si, Molière, c'est noble") à propos de cette vidéo, alors qu'il ne s'agit que d'éléments historiques et textuels factuels! @tract-linguistes.org

"One could almost draw an analogy between relative pitch in music and a similar concept in translation, where context is everything," writes Nancy Naomi Carlson, translator of WHEN WE ONLY HAVE THE EARTH by @abdourahmanwaberi.bsky.social in a piece for the Poetry Foundation.

Sinners (2025)

Mon article "Traduire l’autisme en littérature jeunesse : entre normes et subversion" vient de paraître. En plus d'être fière qu'il soit publié dans TTR, je suis émue qu'il figure dans le mini-dossier thématique "Traduction et subversion" dédié à la mémoire de notre collègue Denise Merkle.

After the escalation of security presence on campus last Friday in response to a 3 days student strike, @mcgill.ca has chosen further escalation by announcing today the termination of its relationship with the Students’ Society of McGill University. I am stunned.

The McGill admin would rather sink 100s of thousands of dollars into creating a private police state on campus (amidst budget cutbacks) than negotiate with students about divesting from Israel. This does not help students, faculty, or staff feel safe. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2KK6etw/

Bong Joon Ho just used his Q&A before John Carpenter’s The Thing at the @AcademyMuseum to ask him to score his next next film — a horror flick — and Carpenter said yes! Magical evening at the movies!

As I read about Mahmoud Khalil, I keep thinking about the fact that his legal status in the U.S. is, or was until 24 hours ago, essentially identical to mine in Canada. I do my fair share of protesting and activism here. So this would mean government police could come to my door... [1/2]

this whole fraud is going to be really funny years from now, in hindsight, but it's mostly just infuriating now

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

Such an interesting topic! The deadline for submissions is soon: 28 February 2025.

This was so cathartic to research and write as an academic from a marginalized background. Microaggressions in higher education are brutal, biased and at times, deadly. Many thanks to @horrorpress.com for giving me the space to exorcise that.
