Kate Kirkpatrick a lecturer in Religion, Philosophy and Culture at King's College London and author of Becoming Beauvoir: A Life (Bloomsbury Academic, 2019). Kirkpatrick has given us a biography that addresses the puzzle and contradictions of the life of the philosopher Simone de Beauvoir drawn from never-before-published diaries and letters to tell the fascinating story of how choices shaped her life. Beauvoir, a writer and feminist icon, won prestigious literary prizes and scandalized many with her now classic The Second Sex. She is now celebrated, but during her life she was a controversial figure both by conventional and feminists' standards. As one who chose to write about lived ideas, both in fiction and essays, rather than build philosophical systems she was easily dismissed as Jean-Paul Sartre's overly loyal side kick. Kirkpatrick shows how Beauvoir's thinking evolved as a feminist and a philosopher – labels she was reluctant to embrace. The author reexamines the overemphasis on Beauvoir's atheism, the extent of her political engagement, and her ethical failures in regard to third parties in the Sartre/Beauvoir relational triads. Beginning with her childhood to her adoption of Sylvie Le Bon, Kirkpatrick focuses on the significant relationships in Beauvoir's life to expand our understand of how they shaped her thinking about the nature of subjectivity. Becoming Beauvoir demonstrates how the choices we make shape who we become. Lilian Calles Barger, www.lilianbarger.com, is a cultural, intellectual and gender historian. Her most recent book is entitled The World Come of Age: An Intellectual History of Liberation Theology, (Oxford University Press, 2018). Her current research project is on the intellectual history of feminist thought seen through the emblematic life and work of Simone de Beauvoir. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Love Letters, Life & Other Conversations podcast Jane shares a quote from Simone de Beauvoir as the springboard for this week's conversation, and also reads a few excerpts from the book, Becoming Beauvoir by Kate Kirkpatrick.  The quote: 'One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others'  ~ Simone de BeauvoirWendy and Jane talk about how you will find what you are looking for, and if you change your perspective, you can shift what you are calling into you.And for those of you who love beautiful and interesting words as much as the three of us do, Jane shared that Simone considered herself solipsistic, and 'solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist.' Here are our takeaways for this week:  WendyThe beautiful way in which Simone uses contrast in her writingAnd... she shares in Jane's beautiful takeaway.Jane Jane's takeaway was summed up in an excerpt of Simone's writing: “I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone to be able to take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or loves me completely. I have only myself”Kristina (KB)How Simone questions as she writes.

La Vieillesse (1970) is Beauvoir's groundbreaking work on old age, in which she describes the silencing that befalls the old. This oppressive silence still continues today, as Sonia Kruks argues in this lecture. Showing how we can benefit from Beauvoir to understand how the domination of the old is perpetuated in contemporary society, Sonia Kruks also stresses that old age has to be included in feminist, intersectional analyses of politics and power relationships. The discussion is moderated by Maren Wehrle, and the series is hosted by Ashika Singh and Liesbeth Schoonheim. More reading..... Simone de Beauvoir. 1977 [1970]. Old Age. Penguin Books.

Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex (1949) is one of the founding texts of modern feminism and one of the most important books of the twentieth century. It covers everything from ancient myth to modern psychoanalysis to ask what the relations between men and women have in common with other kinds of oppression, from slavery to colonialism. It also offers some radical suggestions for how both women and men can be liberated from their condition.Recommended version to buyGoing Deeper: Madeline Gobeil, ‘Simone de Beauvoir, The Art of Fiction No. 35,’ The Paris Review (1965)Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café: Freedom, Being, and Apricot Cocktails (2016) Kate Kirkpatrick, Becoming Beauvoir (2019) [Audio]: Simone de Beauvoir, In Our Time See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Efni Víðsjár í dag: Danska ljóðskáldið Yahya Hassan andaðist í síðustu viku, aðeins 24ra ára að aldri. Hassan sló í gegn árið 2013 með fyrstu ljóðabók sinni sem bar nafn höfundar. Aldrei áður hafði fyrsta ljóðabók höfundar selst svo vel í Danmörku, en hún hefur verið prentuð í á annað hundrað þúsund eintaka og þýdd á fjölmörg tungumál. Í ljóðum sínum gagnrýndi Hassan samfélag múslima harðlega, hann var sjálfur múslimi, og þurfti vernd lögreglu eftir útgáfu bókarinnar og ýmis ummæli sem hann lét falla í fjölmiðlum. Í nóvember á síðasta ári kom út bókin Yahya Hassan 2 en fyrir hana hlaut Hassan tilnefningu til Bókmenntaverðlauna Norðurlandaráðs.

Kirkpatrick has given us a biography that addresses the puzzle and contradictions of the life of the philosopher Simone de Beauvoir drawn from never-before-published diaries and letters to tell the fascinating story of how choices shaped her life. Beauvoir, a writer and feminist icon, won prestigious literary prizes and scandalized many with her now classic The Second Sex. She is now celebrated, but during her life she was a controversial figure both by conventional and feminists’ standards. As one who chose to write about lived ideas, both in fiction and essays, rather than build philosophical systems she was easily dismissed as Jean-Paul Sartre’s overly loyal side kick. Kirkpatrick shows how Beauvoir’s thinking evolved as a feminist and a philosopher – labels she was reluctant to embrace.  The author reexamines the overemphasis on Beauvoir’s atheism, the extent of her political engagement, and her ethical failures in regard to third parties in the Sartre/Beauvoir relational triads. Beginning with her childhood to her adoption of Sylvie Le Bon, Kirkpatrick focuses on the significant relationships in Beauvoir’s life to expand our understand of how they shaped her thinking about the nature of subjectivity. Becoming Beauvoir demonstrates how the choices we make shape who we become. Lilian Calles Barger, www.lilianbarger.com, is a cultural, intellectual and gender historian.
