By Roberta De Monticelli

Preparando le lezioni (anche) in riferimento al testo, che mi pare in generale ben tradotto, di E. Husserl, Introduzione all’etica, a c. di F.S. Trincia, trad. it. di N. Zippel, Laterza, Bari 2009, che traduce parte di Husseliana Bd XXXVII, mi è avvenuto di fare qualche osservazione relativa a scelte di traduzione, che sottopongo ai curatori e alla comunità di ricerca.

Talk: Translating The Second Sex

Translating THE SECOND SEX: A Discussion with the Translators of the New English Edition of Simone de Beauvoir’s Classic Feminist Work
THE BARNARD CENTER FOR TRANSLATION STUDIES
Monday, September 13, 2010, 7 p.m.
Event Oval, The Diana Center, Barnard College, 3009 Broadway, New York City

Widely regarded as the “bible of feminism,” Simone de Beauvoir’s *Le Deuxième Sexe* (1949) is a complex interdisciplinary analysis of the Western notion of “woman” and the power of sexuality. Newly translated and unabridged in English for the first time, *The Second Sex* (2010) is as relevant today as it was sixty years ago. In this panel discussion, translators Constance Borde and Sheila Malovany-Chevallier will describe their efforts to render *The Second Sex* in a manner faithful to its context in existentialist philosophy, their struggle to publish the work, and its appraisal by the critics. A Q&A session and reception will follow. Sponsored by a grant from the Mellon Foundation.
