Traduction et réception de sujets difficiles en littérature de jeunesse de la France à la Suède : Le cas de Kitty Crowther

• This article deals with the reception of the translations of the Belgian picture book illustrator and writer Kitty Crowther in Sweden, from the moment she got the prestigious ALMA-prize 2010. The analyse of the reception of her translated work to Swedish through press articles and professional critics shows that she was unknown in Sweden before she gets the prize and that it permitted her to quickly win a high status in the Swedish literary field for children. We also found that the articles linked willingly Crowther and her illustrations to Scandinavian. We argue that in fact, giving her the prize is making a self-consecration (Casanova). By doing this, Sweden reinforces its role as a consecrator in the world field of Children’s literature and strengthens the autonomy of its position in it.
