The comparative analyses of the texts are underpinned by the latest developments in translation studies that place emphasis on identity construction in translation and the role of translation in moulding various types of identity. They focus on how the writers' textual personae make sense of their sexual, artistic and postcolonial identities in relation to the mother and how the mother-daughter relationship survives translation into the Italian and French social, political and cultural contexts. The book shows how each target text activates different cultural literary, linguistic and rhetorical frames of reference which cast light on the facets of the protagonists' quest for identity: the cult of the Madonna, humour and irony, gender and class, mimesis and storytelling, spatial representation and geographical sense of self. 650 0 $a Translating and interpreting $v Cross-cultural studies. 650 0 $a Women biographers. 650 0 $a Narration (Rhetoric) $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Discourse analysis, Narrative. 650 7 $a Discourse analysis, Narrative. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894947 650 7 $a Translating and interpreting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01154795 650 7 $a Women biographers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177357 655 7 $a Cross-cultural studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423769 776 08 $i Online version: $a Maestri, Eliana. $t Translating the female self across cultures. $d Amsterdam ; Philadelphia : John Benjamins Publishing Company, [2017] $z 9789027266064 $w (DLC) 2017045909 830 0 $a Benjamins translation library ; $v v. 130. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212012234.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8571672A840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
