This book describes the problems that become apparent when
translating Freud's subtle thought and supple wording and examines
the way in which these dilemmas are affected by the
language-French, Spanish, and English-into which the work is
translated. The authors are internationally distinguished experts
in Freud and language, most of whom have taught Freud's work in two
or more languages: Andre Bourguignon, Pierre Cotet, Alex Holder,
Helmut Junker, Jean Laplanche, Patrick J. Mahony, Darius Gray
Ornston, Jr., and Inga Villarreal. The authors discuss the
divergencies between what Freud said about his own ideas and what
his most popular translators have presented as his words,
considering difficulties and solutions devised for the most widely
accepted translations (including the British "Standard Edition").
They also explain why there is no historical and critical edition
of Freud's works in any language-including German. This book
includes an English version of part of Traduire Freud, the
explanatory volume for the first comprehensive French edition of
Freud's works, now in progress. In this landmark essay, the French
editors detail the issues they faced in undertaking to translate
Freud, the choices they made, and the reasoning behind them.
Translating Freud not only analyzes the specific problems of
rendering Freud's writings in another language but also illuminates
the task of translation in general, emphasizing the importance of
the tradition, experience, beliefs, and national origin of the
translators and their audiences.
