Abstract:

How was American gay liberation received in France between the events
of Stonewall and the AIDS crisis?

What part did translations of American 'gay fiction' play in this
reception?

How might the various intercultural movements that characterise the
French response to 'American gay' be conceptualised as translational?

This book attempts to answer these questions by situating detailed
analyses of key textual and paratextual dimensions of selected
translations within an understanding of the French fascination in the
1970s with the model of gay emancipation in the United States. Through
an examination of the translations of Andrew Holleran's Dancer from
the Dance, John Rechy's Rushes and Larry Kramer's Faggots, the book
explores the dynamic of attraction, assimilation, transformation and
rejection that characterises French attitudes at the time. In
particular, representations of the figure of the 'queen' - of the
effeminate homosexual - are identified as particularly sensitive
textual zones for understanding French views on homosexual
emancipation in the light of American developments. Key figures
involved in these debates include translators, academics and activists
such as Alain-Emanuel Dreuilhe, Michel Foucault, Guy Hocquenghem,
Brice Matthieussent, Philippe Mikriammos and Georges-Michel Sarotte -
many of whom lived out the translational pressures of the time through
various types of physical (as well as textual) displacement into the
foreign space.

More broadly, the book envisages using translation and translatedness
as the paradigm case for all sorts of intercultural traffic while also
intimating the possibility of an intercultural studies predicated upon
a vision of cultural spaces as necessarily traversed and constituted
by (mis)recognitions of cultural others.
