Beschreibungen
This edited book addresses the diversity across time and space of the sites, actors and practices of feminist translation from 1945-2000. The contributors examine what happens when a politically motivated text is translated linguistically and culturally, the translators and their aims, and the strategies employed when adapting texts to locally resonating discourses. The collection aims to answer these questions through case studies and a conceptual rethinking of the process of politically engaged translation, considering not only trained translators and publishers, but also feminist activists and groups, NGOs and writers. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of translation studies, gender/women's studies, literature and feminist history.

In these times of the intensified transnational flows of feminist knowledges, translation has become central to the cross-border travels of feminist theories and practices. This innovative multidisciplinary book gathers a rich range of essays from diverse epistemological formations to explore the many ways translation actively participates in building feminist agendas in “transnational, translingual and transcultural encounters,” while always sensitive to a “politics of location.” The anthology makes a much-needed contribution and will surely become required reading for those engaged in the burgeoning field of transnational feminism and translation studies.<p>Claudia J de Lima Costa, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Brazil</p>

<p>The diverse selection of essays in this book mark the astounding interdisciplinary nature of feminist thinking, writing, translation and activism since 1945, analyzing both very pragmatic hands-on initiatives and the theoretical, socio-political and cultural contexts these emerged from and moved towards. The book’s focus on the transnational impact and effects of feminist work - across boundaries of culture and language from Argentina and Spain to Russia, France, China, Iraq and all across Europe and North America - make it of particular interest to cultural studies, translation studies and comparative literary studies. </p>
<p>Luise von Flotow, University of Ottawa, Canada</p><p><br></p><p>This innovative collection is the first to systematically address the role of (para)translation as part of the history of feminism(s). With a focus on the period since 1945, an era of accelerated globalization, and with case studies ranging from <i>Le Deuxième Sexe</i> to women’s bookstoresand liberation calendars and including China, Iran, Russia and Spain, this multi-disciplinary book significantly enhances our understanding of the complexity and politics of the translation of texts and concepts in the transnational history of feminism. Highly recommended. <br></p><p><p><b>Francisca de Haan, </b>Central European University, Hungary</p><br></p>
