摘要

本文探讨了法国-埃及电影制作人萨法·法蒂和法国-马格里布哲学家雅克·德里达的电影合作，并对他们的宫廷- la mer(2004)进行了扩展阅读，这是一部关于语言，流亡和失落的电影，由一对流浪者拍摄，他们都对翻译的幽灵效应非常感兴趣，因为他们经常出现在电影媒介中。《Nom Nom la mer》是法蒂原始阿拉伯语诗歌法语翻译的电影版本，德里达在旁白中朗诵了这首诗，法蒂的镜头聚焦在安达卢西亚小镇上一个高度确定的地点。本文认为这部电影既是翻译悲怆的产物，也是两位合作者在亲密和历史的基础上进行的告别。

Specters of Translation: Jacques Derrida, Safaa Fathy, and Nom à la mer

This essay explores the film collaborations of Franco-Egyptian filmmaker Safaa Fathy and Franco-Maghrebian philosopher Jacques Derrida, offering an extended reading of their court-métrage, Nom à la mer (2004)—a film about language, exile, and loss, made by a pair of wanderers both keenly interested in the spectral effects of translation as they haunt the filmic medium. Nom à la mer is a cinematic rendering of the French translation of Fathy's original, Arabic-language poem, recited by Derrida in voice-off as Fathy's camera focuses on a single, highly overdetermined site in a small Andalusian town. This essay reads the film as both an artefact of the pathos of translation and as a scene of valediction, played out by both collaborators on grounds simultaneously intimate and historical.
