The International Simone de Beauvoir Society is happy to present the 4th session and last session of the Beauvoir Webinar Series 2021 !

The session will be a discussion dedicated to the special issue of Simone de Beauvoir Studies : "Translating and Reading the Second Sex Globally", guest-edited by historians Sylvie Chaperon and Marine Rouch. The editors and authors will be there to present their articles and will be happy to have a conversation about them.

ABOUT THE SPECIAL ISSUE :
Since its publication in France in 1949, The Second Sex has been translated into dozens of languages, each time in a particular editorial, intellectual and feminist context. Each translation has given rise to different transformations and adaptations, which have then been critically received and appropriated by a various range of readers (from intellectuals to “ordinary” inviduals).
This issue explores different cultural receptions of Beauvoir’s magnum opus and linguistic decisions made in the course of translating one of the most important books of the twentieth century into multiple languages. Articles discuss Beauvoir’s impact in Mexico, Bolivia, the former Czechoslovakia, and Iran, as well as controversies surrounding the two English translations of Le Deuxième Sexe.
Readers will also find special interviews with Michèle Le Doeuff and Margaret A. Simons, two pioneers of Beauvoir studies in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as an image of Beauvoir’s famous sentence, written in her own hand : “on ne naît pas femme, on le devient.”
