Abstract

This selection of critical essays on translation and the writing of Hélène Cixous contains contributions from translators of her texts into different languages and cultures. It is the first collection of essays on the work of Cixous from the perspective of translation. It explores translating as process, theory and practice, and intends to offer new insights into Cixous’s fictional and theoretical world. It is an international collection, open to readings of Cixous’s writing, including the theoretical, fictional and dramatic discourses.
