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.
