TRANSLATING THE BODY
The book, made up of two main parts, deals with the human body as reflected in language and literature. The chapters of the first part discuss: the body as a non-verbal text that may be "read" from several perspectives (sociological, psychoanalytical, archetypal, feminist); the way in which Anglo-Saxon writers see the body and its different representations (natural, catastrophic, transgressive); the possibility of translating the human body, viewed as a non-verbal text. Special attention is paid to the transposition into literary texts of the body represented in paintings and to the meaning acquired by words denoting body parts. The second part of the book is an English-Romanian dictionary of body collocations. Sixty three body parts are presented in a variable number of structures and illustrated with quotations from English literary works translated into Romanian.
