The Turkish-language release of Hanne Blank’s Virgin: The
Untouched History is a politically engaged translation aimed at
disrupting Turkey’s heteropatriarchal virginity codes. In Virgin
Crossing Borders, Emek Ergun maps how she crafted her rendering of
the text and draws on her experience and the book’s impact to
investigate the interventionist power of feminist translation.
Ergun’s comparative framework reveals translation’s potential
to facilitate cross-border flows of feminist theories, empower
feminist interventions, connect feminist activists across
differences and divides, and forge transnational feminist
solidarities. As she considers hopeful and woeful pictures of
border crossings, Ergun invites readers to revise their views of
translation’s role in transnational feminism and examine their
own potential as ethically and politically responsible agents
willing to search for new meanings. Sophisticated and compelling,
Virgin Crossing Borders reveals translation’s vital role in
exchanges of feminist theories, stories, and knowledge.
