Abstract
This article explores some aspects and implications of a translation policy widely adopted by Italian publishers, here termed ‘pseudo-transparency.’ The analysis of the Irish author Dermot Bolger’s novel The Journey Home provides an exemplary case study to illustrate that following the norms of pseudo-transparency may result in an impoverished reading experience, as textual and paratextual elements of the target text make difficult for Italian readers to ‘decode’ the cultural complexity of the source text.
 
Cet article explore quelques-unes des dimensions et des implications d’une politique de traduction très souvent adoptée par les editeurs italiens, politique que l’on désignera ici par le terme de « pseudo-transparence ». Partant du cas exemplaire du roman The Journey Home de l’auteur irlandais Dermot Bolger, cette analyse montre que le respect des normes de la pseudo-transparence peut mener à une expérience de lecture appauvrie puisque les éléments textuels et paratextuels du texte cible rendent difficile pour les lecteurs italiens le « décodage » de la complexité culturelle du texte source.
