Abstract:

The volume takes the history of translation in China, from around 150 CE to
the modern period, as its source of case studies. When the first proponents of
Buddhism arrived in China, creativity was forced upon them: a vocabulary
adequate to their purpose had yet to be invented. A Chinese Buddhist textual
corpus took shape over centuries despite the near-absence of bilingual
speakers. One basis of this translating activity was the rewriting of existing
Chinese philosophical texts, and especially the most exorbitant of all these,
the collection of dialogues, fables, and paradoxes known as the Zhuangzi. The
Zhuangzi also furnished a linguistic basis for Chinese Christianity when the
Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci arrived in the later part of the Ming dynasty
and allowed his friends and associates to frame his teachings in the language
of early Daoism. It would function as well when Xu Zhimo translated from The
Flowers of Evil in the 1920s. The chance but overdetermined encounter of
Zhuangzi and Baudelaire yielded a 'strange music' that retroactively echoes
through two millennia of Chinese translation, outlining a new understanding of
the translator's craft that cuts across the dividing lines of current theories
and critiques of translation.
