In the past few years, regular confrontations have been occurring in Corsica between young people whose main mode of social differentiation is based on ethnicity. These conflicts are frequently mentioned in public debate in France, and feed the notion of a link between Corsican nationalism and racism. Corsica is thus considered in a generalizing, if not stigmatizing, way. However, such a dark picture of interethnic relations should be nuanced in regard to cities such as Ajaccio and Bastia. In Ajaccio it appears that there is a kind of conservative racism that echoes the hardships of the local middle-class facing globalization, while in greater Bastia, studies focusing on interethnic relations reveal a process of resistance against people of North African descent participating actively in the life of the city.

AbstractTranslator of three fundamental texts on Judaism, Christianity and Islam, André Chouraqui became involved in this undertaking even before settling in Jerusalem (in 1958). His everyday association with the land and language of the Bible have enabled him to view these familiar, but all too frequently translated word-for-word texts from a fresh perspective. This article shows how a child of the Maghreb became integrated into the French culture and subsequently reintegrated into Hebrew culture. It provides bibliographical references to invite translation specialists to discover the work of a biblical translator too often regarded solely from a confessional viewpoint or analyzed in terms of target-text versus source-text based.

SummarySince the end of the sixties, numerous Japanese contractors have been active in heavy industry work in Algeria and other North African countries. This has opened a large market for Japanese-French liaison interpreters. Such interpreters are hired by specialized agencies in Europe and Japan. With one or two exceptions, they are Japanese nationals. Most of them are young and have no previous experience as interpreters. Neither are they properly briefed before they are sent to the site, but they become proficient in their work with experience. Their tasks range from interpreting at various levels to translation and even participation in negotiations and report drafting. Material working conditions are comparatively good, but the duration of contracts is short and long-term stability of employment is uncertain. The precariousness of interpreting jobs and the temporary nature of the Japanese companies' contracting work in North Africa make this activity a provisional and highly volatile one. Japanese liaison interpreters in North Africa do not feel like professional interpreters and do not aspire to become professionals.
