Literary Translation Research In China

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This book provides an overview of the research carried out by Chinese scholars in the field of literary translation. Although literary translation accounts for a small percentage of the translations produced every year, the interest into its cultural and historical significance continues to attract the interest of academics, notably in China. The contributors to the book engage in theoretical discussions, compare source and target texts, discuss the role of patronage and analyze the translation of unique cultural artefacts such as Chinese calligraphy. Their approaches range from the use of corpus-based studies to the use of mixed quantitative and qualitative methods to compare readers' views. This book will be of interest to researchers and advanced students of Linguistics, Literature, Translation Studies, and Cultural Studies. It was originally published as a special issue of the journal Perspectives: Studies in Translation Theory and Practice.

BOOK EXCERPT:

This book explores literary translation in a variety of contexts. The chapters showcase the research into literary translation in North America, Europe, and Asia. Written by a group of experienced researchers and young academics, the contributors study a variety of languages (including English, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, French, Japanese, Dutch, German, and Swedish), use a wide range of approaches (including quantitative review of literary translations; transfictional approaches to translation; and a review of concepts such as paratexts, intralingual translation, intertextuality, and retranslation), and aim to expand on existing debates on translation and translation studies as a discipline. The chapters aim to provide a panorama of the variety of topics and interests of contemporary translation studies, as well as problematize some of the concepts and approaches that seem to have become the only accepted/acceptable model in some academic quarters. This book was originally published as a special issue of Perspectives Studies in Translation Theory and Practice.
