Abstract
San-Antonio international studies representations of otherness in the notoriously ultra and untranslatably French work of San-Antonio, and how conversely his work has travelled abroad. It explores for the first time the lost, and largely forgotten continent of the translations of San-Antonio adventures, which sold over 100 million copies in France. While translated in 29 languages an amounting to a corpus of 750 titles, the San-Antonio novels proved widely unsuccessful in most other countries. This interdisciplinary volume argues for a new global methodological approach in order to contextualise this paradigmatic example of a failed attempt at globalisation.
