This collection offers insights into the transnational and translingual implications of Simone de Beauvoir’s Le Deuxième Sexe (The Second Sex), a text that has served as foundational for feminisms worldwide since its publication in 1949.Little scholarly attention has been devoted to how the original French-language source text made its way into languages other than English. This is a shocking omission, given that many (but by no means all) other translations were based on the 1953 English translation by Howard M. Parshley, which has been widely criticized by Beauvoir scholars for its omissions and careless attention to its philosophical implications. This volume seeks to fill this gap in scholarship with an innovative collection of essays that interrogate the ways that Beauvoir’s essay has shifted in meaning and significance as it has travelled across the globe.This volume brings together for the first time scholars from Translation Studies, Literary Studies and Philosophical Studies, and over half of it is dedicated to non-Western European engagements with Le Deuxième Sexe (including chapters on the Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hungarian and Polish translations). As such, this collection will be essential to any scholar of Beauvoir’s philosophy and its contributions to feminist discourses.

Translating Transgressive Texts
Gender, Sexuality and the Body in Contemporary Women’s Writing in French

Through close examination of references to gender identity, female sexuality and corporeality, this book is the first of its kind to shed light on the complexities of translating the recent transgressive turn in contemporary women’s writing in French.Via four case studies, namely, the translations into English of Nelly Arcan’s Putain (2001), Catherine Millet’s La Vie sexuelle de Catherine M. (2001), Nancy Huston’s Infrarouge (2010) and Nina Bouraoui’s Garçon manqué (2000), this book explores how transgressive topoi such as prostitution, anorexia, matrophobia, rape, female desire, and transgenderism are translated. The book considers how (auto)fictional female selves portrayed are dis/placed by translation at both a textual and paratextual level. Combining feminist phenomenological perspectives on female lived experience with feminist translation theory, this interdisciplinary study offers an insight into how the experiential is brought into language, how it journeys via language into new cultural contexts via translation and creates a dialogical space in which the subjectivities of those involved (author, narrator, protagonist, translator) become open to the porosity of encounters with alterity.The volume will appeal to scholars in translation studies, French Studies, and gender and sexuality studies, particularly those interested in feminist translation and literary translation.

A key existential and phenomenological thinker, and a public intellectual who witnessed much of the 20th century, Simone de Beauvoir was one of the most significant figures in modernist thought. In Understanding Beauvoir, Understanding Modernism, a global array of contributors examine how Beauvoir's body of work transcends cultural temporalities and continues to inform our understanding of modernism. While not necessarily considered a modernist writer herself, her insistence on the centrality of "lived experience," which she explores in her literary, political, and philosophical work, highlights Beauvoir's appreciation of the themes and aesthetics often at the core of modernist writing. As with other books in the Understanding Philosophy, Understanding Modernism series, this volume is divided into three parts. Part I brings new perspectives to the interpretations of some of Beauvoir’s key texts, underscoring the perenniality of her philosophy and its application to our modern times. Part II showcases how Beauvoir’s own cultural production reinvigorates contemporary understandings of modernist aesthetics, exploring parallels between the philosopher’s own work and other literary, cinematic, mythological, and intermedial modes of expression. Part III offers a glossary of Beauvoir’s key concepts. Rich in granular detail, these entries allow for sustained engagement with the multivalences that each term has inspired in and through the thinker.
