		+	mediator between different European cultures was based on her belief in

		+	which led her to recognise the need for a reflection on the different forms of translation. The questioning of the process of mediation intensified in the 20th century, when its results seemed much less certain than at the beginning of Romanticism. Intellectuals like Susan Sontag, Hannah Arendt and Gayatri Spivak have developed more critical and difficult relationships to the different identities they bring into play: their positions take into account the tensions, conflicts and power relations reflected in the activity of mediating and translating. While Germaine de Staël witnessed the emergence of the romantic paradigm which links the nation to territory and language, the increasing diversity of populations in the 21st century radically alters the activity of translation. It is no longer a reduplication and
		+	substitution but, as «cultural translation», a practice inherent in the life conditions of the woman writer at the crossroads of languages.

''Abstract:'' 
Having left the castle of Zuylen, Isabelle de Charrière explored many avenues and possible worlds through her creative writing, and set her fiction not only in Switzerland, but also in England, and in Germany. Taking as its point of departure the obstacles overcome by Julie, Belle de Zuylen’s first heroine, as she runs from her ancestors' castle in ''Le Noble'' (1763), this study examines the comparable difficulties encountered in ''Lettres neuchâteloises'' (1784), ''Caliste'' (1787), and ''Trois femmes'' (1795) by some remarkable characters who dare to stand up against the customs, ideas, and preconceptions of their society in hopes of modernizing an antiquated social contract.
