Translating Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex Transnational Framing Interpretation and Impact

This collection offers insights into the transnational and translingual implications of Simone de Beauvoir’s Le Deuxième Sexe (The Second Sex) a text that has served as foundational for feminisms worldwide since its publication in 1949. Little scholarly attention has been devoted to how the original French-language source text made its way into languages other than English. This is a shocking omission given that many (but by no means all) other translations were based on the 1953 English translation by Howard M. Parshley which has been widely criticized by Beauvoir scholars for its omissions and careless attention to its philosophical implications. This volume seeks to fill this gap in scholarship with an innovative collection of essays that interrogate the ways that Beauvoir’s essay has shifted in meaning and significance as it has travelled across the globe. This volume brings together for the first time scholars from Translation Studies Literary Studies and Philosophical Studies and over half of it is dedicated to non-Western European engagements with Le Deuxième Sexe (including chapters on the Chinese Japanese Arabic Hungarian and Polish translations). As such this collection will be essential to any scholar of Beauvoir’s philosophy and its contributions to feminist discourses. | Translating Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex Transnational Framing Interpretation and Impact

Photography and Making Bedouin Histories in the Naqab 1906-2013 An Anthropological Approach

Introducing a novel anthropological study of photography in the Middle East Emilie Le Febvre takes us to the Naqab Desert where Bedouin use photographs to make and respond to their own histories. She argues Bedouin presentations of the past are selective but increasingly reliant on archival documents such as photographs which spokespersons treat as evidence of their local histories amid escalating tensions in Israel. These practices shape Bedouin visual historicity that is the diverse ways people produce their pasts in the present with images. This book charts these processes through the afterlives of six photographs (c. 1906–2013) as they circulate between the Naqab’s entangled visual economies – a transregional landscape organised by cultural ideals of proximity and assemblages of Bedouin iconography. Le Febvre illustrates how representational contentions associated with tribal civic and Palestinian-Israeli politics influence how images do history work in this society. She concludes Bedouin visual historicity is defined by acts of persuasion during which photographs authenticate alternating history projects. Here Bedouin value photographs not because they evidence singular narratives of the past. Rather the knowledges inscribed by photography are multifarious as they support diverse constructions of history and society with which members mediate a wide range of relationships in southern Israel. This book bridges studies of anthropology photography Palestinian-Israeli politics and Bedouin Middle East history. | Photography and Making Bedouin Histories in the Naqab 1906-2013 An Anthropological Approach

Mapping the Posthuman

This book works to delineate some of the major routes by which science and art intersect. Structured according to the origin myths of the posthuman that continue to shape the idea of the human in our technological modernity this volume gives space to narratives of alter-modernity that resonate with Ursula K. Le Guin’s call for a new kind of story which exposes the violence and exploitation driven by a sustained belief in human exceptionalism anthropocentrism and cultural superiority. In this context the posthuman myths of multispecies flourishing given in this collection which are situated across a range of historical times and locations and media and modalities are to be thought of as kernels of possible futures that can only be realized through collective endeavour. | Mapping the Posthuman

The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

In this classic work the author presents and develops his theory of the importance of 'the Skin-ego'. Just as the skin is wrapped around the body so the author sees the 'Skin-ego' as a psychical wrapping containing defining and consolidating the subject. From this perspective the structure and functions of the skin can provide psychoanalysts and general readers with a fertile and practical metaphor. The author's concept of the Skin-ego is the answer to questions he regards as crucial to contemporary psychoanalysis: questions of topography which were left incomplete by Freud; the analysis of fantasies of the container as of the contained; issues of touch between mothers and babies; extending the concept of prohibitions within an Oedipal framework to those derived from a prohibition on touching; and questions pertaining to the representation of the body and to its psychoanalytic setting. This new translation of Le Moi-peau is based on the second and last (1995) edition. | The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

The Philadelphia School and the Future of Architecture

Flourishing from 1951 to 1965 the Philadelphia School was an architectural golden age that saw a unique convergence of city practice and education all in renewal. And it was a bringing together of architecture city and regional planning and landscape architecture education under the leadership of Dean G. Holmes Perkins. During that time at the architecture school at the University of Pennsylvania (known as the Graduate School of Fine Arts or GSFA) Louis Kahn and Robert Venturi were transforming modern architecture; Romaldo Giurgola was applying continental philosophy to architectural theory; Robert Le Ricolais was building experimental structures; Ian McHarg was questioning Western civilization and advancing urban and regional ecology; Herbert Gans was moving into Levittown; and Denise Scott Brown was forging a syncretism of European and American planning theory and discovering popular culture. And in the city Edmund Bacon was directing the most active city planning commission in the country. This book describes the history of the school the transformation of the city of Philadelphia and the philosophy of the Philadelphia School in the context of other movements of the time and looks at what the Philadelphia School has to offer to architecture today and in the future all from the point of view of a student who was there. | The Philadelphia School and the Future of Architecture

Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices Architecture’s Changing Scope in the 20th Century

Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices explores how the changing modes of representation in architecture and urbanism relate to the transformation of how the addressees of architecture and urbanism are conceived. The book diagnoses the dominant epistemological debates in architecture and urbanism during the 20th and 21st centuries. It traces their transformations paying special attention to Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s preference for perspective representation to the diagrams of Team 10 architects to the critiques of functionalism and the upgrade of the artefactual value of architectural drawings in Aldo Rossi John Hejduk Peter Eisenman and Oswald Mathias Ungers and finally to the reinvention of architectural programme through the event in Bernard Tschumi and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). Particular emphasis is placed on the spirit of truth and clarity in modernist architecture the relationship between the individual and the community in post-war era architecture the decodification of design process as syntactic analogy and the paradigm of autonomy in the 1970s and 1980s architecture the concern about the dynamic character of urban conditions and the potentialities hidden in architectural programme in the post-autonomy era. This book is based on extensive archival research in Canada the USA and Europe and will be of interest to architects artists researchers and students in architecture architectural history theory cultural theory philosophy and aesthetics. | Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices Architecture’s Changing Scope in the 20th Century

Pencils of Cubics and Algebraic Curves in the Real Projective Plane

Pencils of Cubics and Algebraic Curves in the Real Projective Plane thoroughly examines the combinatorial configurations of n generic points in RP². Especially how it is the data describing the mutual position of each point with respect to lines and conics passing through others. The first section in this book answers questions such as can one count the combinatorial configurations up to the action of the symmetric group? How are they pairwise connected via almost generic configurations? These questions are addressed using rational cubics and pencils of cubics for n = 6 and 7. The book’s second section deals with configurations of eight points in the convex position. Both the combinatorial configurations and combinatorial pencils are classified up to the action of the dihedral group D8. Finally the third section contains plentiful applications and results around Hilbert’s sixteenth problem. The author meticulously wrote this book based upon years of research devoted to the topic. The book is particularly useful for researchers and graduate students interested in topology algebraic geometry and combinatorics. Features: Examines how the shape of pencils depends on the corresponding configurations of points Includes topology of real algebraic curves Contains numerous applications and results around Hilbert’s sixteenth problem About the Author: Séverine Fiedler-le Touzé has published several papers on this topic and has been invited to present at many conferences. She holds a Ph. D. from University Rennes1 and was a post-doc at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley California.

The Life and Work of Jerzy Sołtan the “last modernist architect”

This book is the first comprehensive monograph on Polish modern architect Jerzy Sołtan’s work including his designs theory and teachings in Poland and America based on extensive archival research and oral history interviews with former students. The Life and Work of Jerzy Sołtan takes the reader on a journey to both sides of the iron curtain the communist Poland and the capitalist United States contributing to the existing scholarship on modernism in post-socialist counties on CIAM and on Team 10. It pictures Sołtan as a central player in the history of modernism building on his own contribution and on close relationships with Le Corbusier and Team 10. This book illustrates not only Sołtan’s work but also his life and how it influenced twentieth-century architecture. Looking in detail at his designs and texts enables the reader to discover how modern architecture tendencies can fit into a larger geopolitical context and how designs can be true manifestos to an architect’s theory. The reader will be immersed in a series of different contexts – from communist Poland the vibrant academic atmosphere at Harvard to lively discussions on the future of modern architecture. This publication will be of particular interest for those studying modern architecture in Central Europe and in post-socialist countries in particular Poland. Architects designers architectural and design students and modern architecture enthusiasts will find this publication on the “last modernist” architect revealing new perspectives thanks to the unpublished and unresearched sources. | The Life and Work of Jerzy Sołtan the “last modernist architect”
