Abstract:

"Translating the Female Self across Cultures" examines contemporary
autobiographical narratives and their Italian and French translations. The
comparative analyses of the texts are underpinned by the latest developments
in Translation Studies that place emphasis on identity construction in
translation and the role of translation in moulding various types of identity.
They focus on how the writers’ textual personae make sense of their sexual,
artistic and post-colonial identities in relation to the mother and how the
mother-daughter dyad survives translation into the Italian and French social,
political and cultural contexts. The book shows how each target text activates
different cultural literary, linguistic and rhetorical frames of reference
which cast light on the facets of the protagonists’ quest for identity: the
cult of the Madonna; humour and irony; gender and class; mimesis and
storytelling; performativity and geographical sense of self. The book
highlights the fruitfulness of studying women’s narratives and their
translations, and the polyphonic dialogue between the translations and the
literary and theoretical productions of the French and Italian cultures.
