DESCRIPTION:Sophie Lewis's new translation of Cixous's pivotal fiction Ang
 st came out this year\, forty years after the book's first translation was
  published. Susan De Muth published her new translation of Cahun's Aveux n
 on avenus in 2024 as Cancelled Confessions\, also following others' attemp
 ts at translating this twisty\, unboxable text. In this workshop\, De Muth
  and Lewis will offer a brief tour of their thinking and approaches to the
 ir texts\, and will then invite participants to engage directly with the t
 exts. The workshop will include comparisons with previous existing transla
 tions and discussion of their influence.\n\nNo prior reading is necessary 
 but some would be helpful. A fair knowledge of French is important.\n\nSop
 hie Lewis is a prize-winning translator from French and Portuguese. Her ne
 w translation of Angst by Hélène Cixous was published by Silver Press in
  March 2026.\n\nSusan de Muth is the translator of Claude Cahun’s Cancel
 led Confessions and Uranian Games and several other Surrealist and Dada te
 xts.
