At the intersection of quantitative and qualitative

Propositions for a weighted analysis of translations in periodicals

| Université de Lille
This chapter discusses methodological issues related to the quantitative analysis of translations in periodical publications and the possibilities to conjugate quantitative and qualitative approaches. I will propose a model for a weighted analysis of translations in periodicals as well as the first results of its application on a heterogeneous corpus of nine-teen Italian literary and political-literary periodicals of the post Second World War period (1944–1970). Building on a systematical analysis of the networks of Italian periodicals, this method takes into account some fundamental characteristics in the life of periodicals, and in particular their diffusion and their symbolic capital in the literary field. It thus quantitatively measures qualitative phenomena.
Keywords: quantitative/qualitative, weighted analysis, Italian periodicals, literary translation, symbolic capital, networks of periodicals, Italian literary field
