Resumen de Ethics of ‘Translational’ Acts in Islamic Feminist Writings: An Analysis of Selected Academic Contributions
This article explores translation as a process and an act in the field of Islamic Feminism. It focuses on the interplay between translator's visibility and ethics in translational activities by Islamic Feminist writers, who mainly produce their work in English, when they cite the Qur’an and prophetic traditions and build their arguments upon this activity. Drawing on a select corpus of influential texts in the field, the article argues that translation in this faith-based approach to feminism is inevitable, and examines the ways in which this non-Arabic transnational feminist narrative contributes to changing, or at least opening spaces for, the discussion on Muslim women's issues and conditions.
