Illustratie en vertaling

The original title of this article is "Illustration and Translation". The article was originally written in English, and later translated by the curators of the volume for publication. It makes a critical contribution to the translation from French into English of Henri Van Lier's "Philosophie de la photographie", and focuses on the relation between written text and the illustrations. The curators of the translation decided to dispense with the original illustrations and instead include photographs made by young photographers from the Gevaert Research Centre for Photography (Bruxelles). The article analyses the effect of this choice and is the product of a one-year project realized by Prof. Baetens (Catholic University in Leuven), the photographer Bleyen and the collaboration of Turci from Bologna University.
