Resumen: Motivations for volunteering have rarely been studied in the context of professional literary translators. Instead, studies have mainly focused on amateur translators in areas such as charities, fansubbing, TED, Wikipedia, Skype and Facebook. This paper explores this under-researched topic in the context of ¡Hjckrrh!, a non-profit publisher led by translators who self-publish literary translations in e-book format. As of March 2018, ¡Hjckrrh! had issued 21 e-books translated from seven languages, with the collaboration of fourteen translators. Most of the translators are experienced professional translators with full-time jobs. Based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with fifteen participants, this paper explores the translators’ motivations for collaborating on this initiative and shows how an ethnography-inspired methodology can be fruitful when studying translators. The outcomes reflect that translating for pleasure and personal relationships are factors that trigger translators’ voluntary participation in ¡Hjckrrh!, and the conclusions highlight the need for more research into similar non-profit publishing initiatives.

Resumen: La presse ancienne canadienne est un témoin privilégié des changements politiques et sociaux survenus pendant le xixe siècle au Canada. Dans cette presse, la traduction occupe une place importante, puisque les journaux publiés à l’étranger et en langue étrangère sont la principale source d’information des rédacteurs de l’époque. L’un des premiers périodiques publiés à Montréal (1826-1899), La Minerve, revêt une importance particulière car il est publié tout au long du xixe siècle. Ce périodique fait d’ailleurs l’objet d’une activité traductionnelle intense. L’étude de la traduction dans La Minerve permet d’observer le « rapport d’inégalité politique » (Simon 1989 : 19) entre le Canada anglais et le Canada français. Les exemples cités démontrent que la traduction dans La Minerve est employée en tant qu’instrument de défense du peuple canadien francophone, entouré d’anglophones.

Resumen: The recent boost in English translations of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935), the undisputed father of religious Zionism, may be considered a revealing juncture between Israeli and American Modern Orthodox Jewish communities. Upon establishing the features of theological translation in this homeland-diaspora framework, my paper offers a discussion of a dominant translation trend of Kook’s thought in the 1990s, an ideologically motivated “export” of texts which has been largely determined by the transnational movement of people. The translators were American rabbis who emigrated and settled in Israel and the main target audience for the translations was the growing number of young American Jews making the one-year study visit in Israeli yeshivas before returning to American college life. The translations, I argue, were framed as a political polemic on the part of right-wing religious Zionism, aimed at promoting a highly nationalist, topical political interpretation of Kook’s suggestive Hebrew works among English-speaking Modern Orthodox Jews, particularly those making the increasingly popular study visit in Israeli yeshivas – visits that have been associated with the persistent “slide to the Right” of Modern Orthodox Judaism in America in recent decades.
