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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume will appeal to scholars in translation studies, French Studies, and gender and sexuality studies, particularly those interested in feminist translation and literary translation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54526626857304,"sku":"9781032620787","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032620787.jpg?v=1768590042","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/translating-transgressive-texts-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
