Translating Transgressive Texts by Pauline Henry-Tierney Pdf
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.
In this fast moving study, Chris Jenks presents a broad overview of the history of ideas, the major theorists and the significant moments in the formation of the idea of transgression.

Immensely popular during her lifetime, the Ango-Irish writer Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) has since been treated as a peripheral figure on the literary map. If only in view of her prolific outputten novels, nearly eighty short stories, and a substantial body of non- fictionBowen is a noteworthy novelist. The radical quality of her work, however, renders her an exceptional one. Surfacing in both subject matter and style, her fictions harbor a subversive potential which has hitherto gone unnoticed. Using a wide range of critical theories-from semiotics to psychoanalysis, from narratology to deconstruction-this book presents a radical re-reading of a selection of Bowen's novels from a lesbian feminist perspective. Taking into account both cultural contexts and the author's non-fictional writings, the book's main focus is on configurations of gender and sexuality. Bowen's fiction constitutes an exploration of the unstable and destabilizing effects of sexuality in the interdependent processes of subjectivity and what she herself referred to as so-called reality.
This dissertation reconsiders Cixous's notion of écriture féminine as a practice of reading as well as writing. I claim that "feminine" readings and writings attempt to disrupt the conventional thought system by exposing tension between traditional and repressed aspects of the discourse. While particular emphasis is placed on the tension between the masculine and the féminine, Cixous claims that the disruption of any binary pair works toward the dissolution of phallogocentrism and its fundamental couple, man/woman. In each of three sections, I pair an analysis of Cixous's theories and fiction with an interpretation of a novel by another author; this structure allows me to examine écriture féminine and to put Cixous's theories into practice by performing what I call a lecture féminine. In the first section, I consider Cixous's notion of "sexual difference" in her work Déluge and in Beckett's trilogy, Molloy, Malone meurt, and L'Innommable. I explore Cixous's claim that sexual difference is not located between men and women, but internally in each man and woman, and I investigate the ways in which Beckett's trilogy echoes Cixous's theories through its interrogation of the binary system of thought, its treatment of the interdependence of writing and the body, and its dissolution of conventional gender categories. In the second section, I investigate the difficult balance between self and other which écriture féminine encourages through analyses of Cixous's Manne and Marie-Claire Blais's L'Insoumise. In each work, I find that the shifting of narrative voices allows for both an exchange with the other and an assertion of a sense of unified self. Finally, in my third section delving into the more abstract binary couple, text and non-text, I examine Cixous's Jours de l'an and Anne Hébert's Le premier jardin. In my analyses, I find that these texts play with the boundaries of fiction and narrative through a contradictory structure which permits multiple interpretations of each of the novels. Ultimately, this dissertation hopes to provide for the reader a new way of understanding écriture féminine as a state of productive tension, and a new way of using Cixous's theories to read and analyze literature.

Kabbalistic Manuscripts and Textual Theory by Daniel Abrams Pdf
Kabbalistic Manuscripts and Textual Theory uncovers the unstated assumptions and expectations of scribes and scholars who fashioned editions from manuscripts of Jewish mystical literature. This study offers a theory of kabbalistic textuality in which the material book the printed page no less than handwritten manuscripts serves as the site for textual dialogue between Jewish mystics of different periods and locations. The refashioning of the text through the process of reading and commenting that takes place on the page in the margins and between the lines blurs the boundaries between the traditionally defined roles of author, reader, commentator and editor. This study shows that kabbalists and academic editors reinvented the text in their own image, as part of a fluid textual process that was nothing short of transformative. This book is certainly monumental, offering in its seven hundred pages a wealth of documentation and distilled argument that manages to be both comprehensive in its materials and transparent in its critical insights. It is rare indeed that a work of such formidable scholarship can actually be a pleasure to read and convincing in its elucidation of what are often extremely complex documentary circumstances and editorial traditions.
