Interprètes : never 'lost in translation'

Après les petits secrets des traducteurs hier, plongée dans le quotidien mystérieux des interprètes au Parlement européen. En chiffres, cela donne 23 langues, 506 combinaisons linguistiques possibles et entre 350 et 1 000 interprètes. Vertigineux mais nécessaire au fonctionnement d'une institution représentant 500 millions de citoyens.

"Bien plus qu'un simple moyen de communication, le langage fait partie de notre identité. Il est ainsi important que les députés s'expriment dans leur propre langue afin de pouvoir s'adresser directement à leurs concitoyens et de défendre au mieux leurs intérêts", explique Olga Cosmidou, directrice générale de l'interprétation au Parlement. "Chaque jour, nous réalisons ce petit miracle".

Imagine: How Creativity Works | Jonah Lehrer

Somewhere around the early 1990s, MRIs—the technique of magnetic resonance imaging—tiptoed out of the pall of cancer wards into the sunnier campuses of universities, and forged a melange among the departments of psychology, neuroscience, management and economics. The result of this academic straddle is a literary niche called pop neuroscience, into which science writer Jonah Lehrer’s newest offering, Imagine: How Creativity Works, neatly slots itself.
