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.
