Abstract:

Past attempts at writing a history of Chinese translation theory have
been bedeviled by a chronological approach, which often forces the
writer to provide no more than a list of important theories and
theorists over the centuries. Or they have stretched out to almost
every aspect related to translation in China, so that the
historical/political backdrop that had an influence on translation
theorizing turns out to be more important than the theories
themselves. In the present book, the author hopes to devote exclusive
attention to the ideas themselves. The approach adopted centers around
eight key issues that engaged the attention of theorists through the
course of the twentieth century, in the hope that a historical account
will be presented that is not time-bound. On the basis of 38 articles
translated into English by teachers and scholars of translation, the
author has written four essays discussing the Chinese characteristics
of this body of theory. Separately they focus on the impressionistic,
the modern, the postcolonial, and the poststructuralist approaches
deployed by leading Chinese theorists from 1901 to 1998. It is hoped
that publication of this book will make possible cross-cultural
dialogue with translation academics in the West, although the general
reader will find much firsthand information on Chinese thinking about
translation.
