Résumé
This article seeks to intervene in and disrupt discourse surrounding a canonical author (Samuel Beckett), using the tools offered by reflections on (self-)translation and writing in a foreign language. These tools allow for the construction of a new, third text (in echo to Homi Bhabha's “third space”), emerging from the in-between space of Beckett's self-translations of The Unnamable/L'Innommable. This in-between space can be read as an invitation to bracket textual presuppositions relating to translation and to figure them in a creative way. This new, creative reading/writing of the third text springs from a well-known theme of Self-Translation studies to question the relationship between “original” and “translation,” but specifically here in the difficulty of locating the text. This difficulty of location will be treated first in terms of time, and then space.
