Abstract:

This book offers a panoramic view of the emerging eco-paradigm of Translation
Studies, known as Eco-Translatology, and presents a systematic study of the
theoretical discourse from ecological perspectives in the field of Translation
Studies. Eco-Translatology describes and interprets translation activities in
terms of the ecological principles of Eco-holism, traditional Eastern
eco-wisdom, and ‘Translation as Adaptation and Selection’. Further,
Eco-Translatology approaches the phenomenon of translation as a broadly
conceived eco-system in which the ideas of ‘Translation as Adaptation and
Selection’, as well as translation as a ‘textual transplant’ promoting an
‘eco-balance’, are integrated into an all-encompassing vision. Lastly,
Eco-Translatology reinforces contextual uniqueness, emphasizing the deep
embeddedness of texts, translations, and the human agents involved in their
production and reception in their own habitus. It is particularly encouraging,
in this increasingly globalised world, to see a new paradigm sourced from East
Asian traditions but with universal appeal and applications, and which adds to
the diversity and plurality of global Translation Studies. This book, the
first of its kind, will substantially expand the horizons of Translation
Studies, a field that is still trying to define its own borders, and will open
a wealth of new possibilities. Destined to become a milestone in the field of
Translation, Interpretation and Adaptation Studies, as well as eco-criticism,
it will introduce readers to a wholly new epistemological intervention in
Translation Studies and therefore will open new vistas of thoughts, discussion
and criticism.
