Making the leap: Embracing the more-than-human in feminist and queer translation
Intersections between gender, feminism, and ecological issues have been explored for more than fifty years. Scholars have demonstrated that ecosystems and life forms are oppressed by the same systems of power critiqued and challenged by queer and feminist research. They have unearthed connections between patriarchy, capitalism, racism, colonialism, imperialism, speciesism, and environmental destruction. Against these intellectual debates, the lac…
This Time We Didn’t Wait: The Simultaneous English Translations of Simone de Beauvoir’s Les Inséparables
Pleasure Unthought in Translation
Building on fifteen years translating Catherine Malabou’s thought from French to English, this article pursues my exploration of her signature plasticity within translation studies. It reflects on the ways Malabou draws on art to name plasticity, as a new thought that emerged for her in philosophy. Her recent book Le Plaisir effacé. Clitoris et pensée (2020) considers what to do with that which remains unthought precisely because it is unseen. No…
Does Communist Art Exist
Y a-t-il un art communiste? was given as a talk at the Grand Palais in Paris on 10 April 2019 on the occasion of a special exhibition, Red: Art and Utopia in the Land of the Soviets (Rouge: Art et utopie au pays des Soviets).

One Life Only: Biological Resistance, Political Resistance
Metramorphosis in Translation: Refiguring the Intimacy of Translation beyond the Metaphysics of Loss
Thinking about the intimacy that translation demands and creates, and the limits of this intimacy, we explore Bracha L. Ettinger’s concept of metramorphosis to propose a paradigmatic feminist refiguring of translation that recognizes and validates alternative modalities of contact and interrelation. Here “Several comes before the One,” and translation is the place where we all come from, the place where we start together, in a relationship of int…
