Naomi Segal, with introductions from Estela Welldon and Dr Andrew Asibong.<\/p>\n<p><em>Translating Anzieu<\/em><strong>:<\/strong> This paper is in two parts. The first introduces the principles, pleasures &amp; realities of translation, and of translating psychoanalysis in particular. Are all translators murderers, pests or parasites? Are they trustworthy or traitors, or even \u2018faithful bigamists\u2019? Might translation be a feminine\/feminised activity because most translators are women, or because the target -language has to be maternal, or because it embodies the irony of the multi-skilled serving the mono-skilled? The second part introduces the life and work of Didier Anzieu. The Skin-ego is the theory of a \u2018vast metaphor\u2019 based on \u2018a paradox: the centre is situated at the periphery\u2019. Freud\u2019s image of the ego as \u2018the projection of a surface\u2019 is comprehensively developed, and the sense of touch is \u2018not only placed at the origin of the psyche but shown to provide the latter permanently with what might also be called the mental backcloth, the ground upon which psychical contents are inscribed as figures, or the containing wrapping that makes it possible for the psychical apparatus to have contents\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Didier Anzieu<\/strong> (1923\u20131999) was a French psychoanalyst and theorist whose work brings the body back to the centre of psychoanalytic enquiry. He was the author of numerous books and articles, on areas ranging from the psychology of groups and psychodrama to theories of creativity and thought; he also published short stories, literary criticism, a drama, a book of cartoons and a study of May \u201868 written from the heart of Nanterre. His research was always conducted alongside his academic and clinical practice, both characterised by inclusivity, curiosity, a broad mind and a gentle manner. Anzieu\u2019s major work, <em>Le Moi-peau<\/em> [The Skin-ego], a psychoanalytic theory focused on the psychical skin, is presented here in a new English translation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Naomi Segal<\/strong> is a professor of modern languages, specialising in comparative literary and cultural studies, gender, psychoanalysis and the body. In 2004 she created and then directed the Institute of Germanic &amp; Romance Studies, University of London. She has published 15 books, of which the most recent monographs are <em>Consensuality: Didier Anzieu, gender and the sense of touch (2009)<\/em>, <em>Andr\u00e9 Gide: Pederasty and Pedagogy (1998) and The Adulteress\u2019s Child: authorship and desire in the nineteenth-century novel (1992)<\/em>.
