A New Dawn for the Second Sex

Studies of Simone de Beauvoir have mostly concentrated on her literature, her life, and her famous 1949 work, The Second Sex, and the continued emphasis has been on Beauvoir's views on gender. The Philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir places her theory of women's 'otherness' in the context of a number of contemporary theories on a similar subject. While gender takes its place among these, Professor Deutscher counterbalances its grip on our memory of Beauvoir's ideas by situating it in the context of our relationship to ageing, to generational difference, and to race and cultural difference. By differentiating the many aspects of 'otherness', Beauvoir revisited some of the concepts of reciprocity, ambiguity, and ethics for which she is best remembered.

The Self-Other Relation in Beauvoir's Ethics and Autobiography

The Infinity of Testimony and Dying in Jorge Semprun's Holocaust Autothanatographies

In L’ ‹ Ecriture du d‹ esastre (1980), Maurice Blanchot writes: ‘qui ‹ ecrit est en exil de l’‹ ecriture: l› a est sa patrie o› u il n’est pas proph› ete’. Here, the writer does not inhabit writing but exists in an impersonal relationship of deathly exile to the text. In Jorge Semprun’s writing, exile is explored on multiple levels: linguistic, geographical, political, and ethical. In this discussion, one aspect of Semprun’s representation of exile will be explored, namely his relationship to language and writing, with reference to three recent autobiographical texts: L’ ‹ Ecriture ou la vie (1994), Adieu, vive clart‹ e . . . (1998), and Le Mort qu’il faut (2001). Two of these, L’ ‹ Ecriture ou la vie and Le Mort qu’il faut, are literary testimonies which focus on Semprun’s experiences in Buchenwald concentration camp, where he was imprisoned from 1944 to 1945 after his arrest in late 1943 for his work in the Communist Resistance. Adieu, vive clart‹ e . . ., however, is a highly literary memoir of his early life and arrival in Paris in 1939 as an exile from Franco’s Spain and, according to Semprun, is unrelated to his Buchenwald experiences:
