Abstract

The author studies the reception of Quebec plays in Toronto between 1970 and 1982. She compares the response of different critiques, focussing on analyses of translations and translators. The author shows that critics are guilty of being "Toronto-centric" by ignoring the importance of translation or seeking more easily understandable translations for Toronto audiences.L'auteur étudie l'accueil fait aux pièces de théâtre québécoises à Toronto entre 1970 et 1982. Elle compare la réaction de différentes critiques en portant une attention particulière aux analyses touchant les traductions et les traducteurs. Elle montre que les critiques font preuve de "Torontocentrisme" en ignorant l'importance de la traduction ou en recherchant des traductions plus compréhensibles pour le public torontois.
