Ambiguity and difference: Two feminist ethics of the present
2018
The chapter studies the ethical dimensions of Beauvoir’s existentialism and Irigaray’s ontology of difference. It argues that Irigaray builds on one central but largely neglected result of Beauvoir’s moral philosophical argumentation: the claim that fundamentally sexual subordination constitutes an ethical problem that cannot be adequately solved merely through social reforms, political interventions, or theoretical reflections. By comparing Beauvoir’s concept of erotic generosity to Irigaray’s discussion of wonder and love, the chapter demonstrates that both philosophers conceive of male privilege as an ethical issue that must be worked out between individual women and men in their concret…

Simone Geraci. Echos
2019
The essay was made on the occasion of Simone Geraci's solo show at the Quam gallery in Scicli, where the artist presented a very refined selection of his most recent artistic production. Geraci, who prefers the definition of painter to that of artist, is firmly convinced of the condition of painting as a living language, not devoid of narrative implications, and as an expressive tool that is still current and capable of great fascination.

Corrispondere al limite. Simone Weil: il pensiero e la luce
2002
La ricerca presentata nel volume si concentra sulle riflessioni più strettamente filosofiche di Simone Weil, lasciando sullo sfondo quelle politiche, nel tentativo di proporre un’ermeneutica originale degli scritti meno strutturati di Weil. A partire dai Primi scritti filosofici fino all’opera più frammentaria, ma teoreticamente più densa, i Quaderni, si vuole offrire una lettura dettagliata e unitaria di alcune nozioni cardine del pensiero weiliano, nella convinzione che il contributo teoretico da esse aperto sia tra quelli più acuti e fecondi della Francia degli anni Trenta. Nel primo capitolo si rintracciano le linee della riflessione gnoseologica weiliana attraverso, da una parte, un po…
Simone de Beauvoir bajo la dictadura franquista: las traducciones al catalán
2015
Simone de Beauvoir fue traducida por primera vez al catalán durante el franquismo. El objetivo de este artículo es investigar la censura institucional que experimentaron, en la segunda mitad de la década de los sesenta del siglo pasado, seis obras de Beauvoir para ser publicadas en catalán, desde que las editoriales solicitaron los permisos hasta conseguir las autorizaciones. Después de contextualizar brevemente las traducciones, el artículo se centra en el estudio de los seis expedientes de censura, que nos permitirá averiguar cómo reaccionó la dictadura ante la posibilidad de traducir obras de Beauvoir (considerada por el régimen autora peligrosa por filocomunista, feminista y atea), quié…
Uncovering the hidden actors with the help of Latour: the ‘making’ of The Second Sex
2010
Aquest article vol responder a les critiques actuals a la primera i única traducció a l’anglés de Le deuxième sexe de Simone de Beauvoir. Replanteja la dinámica traductor-editor aplicant el marc sociològic de Bruno Latour per tal d’assolir conclusions més detallades i de major abast. Després d’una breu presentació d’aquesta publicació, de la recepció i de la crítica de la traducció a l’anglés, l’article investiga l’estudi de cas amb l’ajuda de Latour i de les cartes dels arxius del Smith College. L’estudi es fonamenta en la lectura de documents històrics: més d’un centenar de cartes entre el traductor, Howard M. Parshley, i l’editorial, Alfred A. Knopf. S’ofereix també una breu revisió de l…

Gender in translating lesbianism in The Second Sex
2011
Drawing on three Chinese translations of the lesbian chapter in Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex, this paper examines at the micro level how the discussions on lesbianism in the work are translated and what role gender identity plays in the process of translation. Lesbianism has played an important part in feminism. However, homosexuality is still regarded as unacceptable to most Chinese people. Thus, an examination of translations of lesbianism in The Second Sex might be especially revealing in terms of representation of Western feminism. The comparison reveals that there are obvious differences between the translations by the female translators and the male translators. The differences…
