Translation and Gender: Translating in the 'Era of Feminism' (Perspectives on Translation) - Softcover
Synopsis
Translation and Gender places recent work in translation against the background of the women's movement and its critique of "patriarchal" language. It explains translation practices derived from experimental feminist writing, the development of openly interventionist translation practices, the initiative to retranslate fundamental texts such as the Bible, translating as a way of recuperating writings "lost" in patriarchy, and translation history as a means of focusing on women translators of the past.

Luise von Flotow is currently Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa.
Review
Von Flotow's translation strategy addresses a number of the stylistic inaccuracies of the Becker translation, for example in the maintenance of a fluid, shifting narrative voice much more similar to that of Wolf's German text... She returns for the variation of tenses and pronouns used by Wolf, upholding the shifting temporality of the narration that helps to keep the continuing feeling of anxiety and lack of closure in the text. Her translation also more successfully maintains the variety of voices and registers that creates the text’s heteroglossia and destabilizes the narrator's authority... Where Becker's translation omits or weakens comments that are troubling or ambivalent, von Flotow seeks to maintain these and uses language that reflects the problematic nature of the vocabulary in the German text.
