Routledge Translating Trans Identity - Queer Studies Book

Explore the complex connections between translation and identity in Translating Trans Identity: (Re)Writing Undecidable Texts and Bodies. Part of the Routledge Studies in Literary Translation series, this book examines how translation processes handle sexual and textual undecidability. By using an interdisciplinary approach, the text bridges the gap between translation studies, transgender studies, and queer studies. The author analyzes the translations of six specific texts in English, French, and Spanish that are categorized as 'trans.' Through this study, readers gain insight into how language and identity intersect across different cultural contexts. This work builds on established theories from philosophy, linguistics, and queer studies. It references the ideas of thinkers like Derrida and Deleuze to promote critical thinking about the nature of text and identity. It is an essential resource for students and academics looking to understand the nuances of translating non-binary and queer identities in literature.
