“…But, perhaps of more relevance to this special issue is that Flaubert is equally foreign to Latin America yet likely to be more recognisable there than Dickens, as a great figure in literature, reminding us that the cultural and colonial ties that connect Latin America with continental Europe (in particular Spain and France), belong to very different traditions to those that inform the (British) Antipodes. 4 There are some literary and political resemblances between Kuchuk Hanem and Bertha Mason, the literary character in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre; one of the accepted feminist icons of 'the mad woman in the attic' (Gilbert & Gubar, 1979). An interesting twist to this story lies in the fact that there was an actual Bertha Mason -born in 1855, eight years after the publication of Jane Eyre -who later became a suffragist.…”

This special edition has been long in the making and it is my honour and great pleasure to present it to you now.I will talk about the length of its making later since I would rather start with my excitement at its publication. This collection of articles showcases some of the complex work that has populated the world of family therapy in Latin America; 1 a work that, although aware of practices in the North, 2 has its own traditions and engagements with systemic ideas and its own unique geopolitical circumstances informing its own developments in theory and practice. In this sense then, and strictly speaking, this special issue is not just a post-colonial or a decolonial critique of the field since it also has a constructive element: it attempts to affirm difference by rescuing practices that, albeit highly complex and with a nuanced sense of what constitutes systemic work as I hope the reader will appreciate, it is grounded in a reality that is of the South, … of Latino America.

“…Sandra Gilbert and Susan Guba in "The madwoman in the attic: the woman writer and the nineteenth-century literary imagination" mention the male writers' imagination of female characters, and there are two types of female archetypes under male writers. Women are either "angels" or "monsters" in male writers [2]. In fairy tales, the heroine is usually the image of an "angel".…”

“…In addition to myth, Beauvoir also points out the passivity of women's roles in Grimm's fairy tales. Sandra Gilbert and Susan Guba, in The madwoman in the attic: the woman writer and the nineteenth-century literary imagination, analyze the portrayal of women in fairy tales and expose the patriarchal metaphors implicit in fairy tales [2]. Along with the rise of feminist theory, feminist writers began to retell and rewrite classic fairy tales in response.…”

Fairy tales are very valuable texts, but the classic fairy tales are confined to the framework of the patriarchal system. With the rise of feminist thinking, many feminist scholars have reflected on and criticized fairy tales, some of them look at fairy tales from a feminist perspective, some of them try to uncover the hidden connotations of women in fairy tales, and some of them create new fairy tales belonging to women. This study examines three Re-Vison of the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. The three new texts rewrite and adapt Beauty and the Beast in various aspects. This study identifies the commonalities among these three fairy tales through comparison and delves into the core of feminist fairy tales. This study finds that these three texts coincide to a certain extent with the trend of feminist wave. Through the analysis of these three texts, this study hopes to bring new values to feminist fairy tale studies.

“…The starting point for the analysis will be to frame Permafrost as a feminist novel (cf. Gilbert & Gubar, 1979) and as a queer text based on the ideas of queer lesbian feminist theorists such as De Lauretis , 2011), Suárez Briones (2014), and Trujillo (2014, 2022 and authors such as Wittig (1986Wittig ( [1973) and Cixous (1983), who stand as key figures in lesbian feminist waves born in the 70s. Second, the translation will be examined through the lens of queer and feminist translation theories and practices, that serve as both translation and analysis tools.…”

Permagel/Permafrost: el deseo lésbico y su traducción

Permafrost (Permagel en catalán) es una novela de la poeta y escritora Eva Baltasar. Publicada en 2018, la novela ganó notable popularidad tanto en Cataluña como en el resto de España. Desde su publicación, ha sido traducida a diferentes idiomas con gran éxito. Su traducción al inglés llegó al Reino Unido en 2020 de la mano de la traductora estadounidense Julia Sanches. La historia de Baltasar se centra en una mujer lesbiana en la cuarentena que, víctima del entorno hostil en el que se ve obligada a vivir, fantasea con el suicidio y, al mismo tiempo, muestra un impulso hedonista que la lleva a disfrutar al máximo de su condición humana, principalmente a través del sexo. La novelaexplora en profundidad el deseo sexual, desplegado de forma muy estética en la poesía en prosa de la autora, que consigue evocar imágenes de fuerte simbolismo e inmediatez en un amplio abanico de combinaciones de palabras y metáforas. En primer lugar, el presente artículo explora la repercusión de la novela tanto en su territorio original como entre el público anglosajón, y la fuerte presencia del tema del sexo, un tema muy citado en las reseñas de la obra. En segundo lugar, analiza la descripción del deseo lésbico (queer) en el original y su traslado a la lengua inglesa a través de las premisas de la traducción queer y feminista. Aplicando una perspectiva queerfeminista, el análisis describe la eficacia de la traducción al trasvasar los contenidos a otra realidad cultural y lingüística.
