Discussion | Translating The Second Sex: A Discussion with the Translators of the New English Edition of Simone de Beauvoir’s Classic Feminist Work


Widely regarded as the “Bible of feminism,” Simone de Beauvoir’s Le Deuxième Sexe (1949) is a complex interdisciplinary analysis of the Western notion of “woman” and the power of sexuality. Newly translated and unabridged in English for the first time, The Second Sex is as relevant today as it was sixty years ago. In this panel discussion, translators Constance Borde and Sheila Malovany-Chevallier will describe their efforts to render The Second Sex in a manner faithful to its context in existentialist philosophy, their struggle to publish the work, and its reception by the critics.

Discussion | Avey Tare & Danny Perez discuss their “DVD album” ODDSAC


To celebrate the release of their unique project, Animal Collective's Tare and Perez will join moderator Andy Battaglia in a discussion about how they see and hear—and work to blur the boundaries between the two. Since burbling up from the New York underground around the turn of the 2000s, Animal Collective have become one of the most adventurous and important musical acts at work today. Their sound is singular—at once yawping and soothing, synthetic and human—and their influence is immeasurable in the realm of art-rock and more.
