Abstract:

This book examines literary translation in contemporary China from two
perspectives. The first is related to the social and political dimension of
translation, which is concerned with the general context of translation,
translation practices, literary norms as well as the structures that support
them. The second perspective focuses on the more personal dimension, which is
influenced by personalities and dispositions of the individuals involved in
translation. Moving along the spectrum with the political on one end and the
personal on the other, this book asserts that these two are two sharply
different yet intimately intertwined domains of translation. It further argues
that the dialectical relationship between lived personal experience and
structural power relations in translation will provide a base to recognize the
centrality of human agency and the possibility of resistance through
translation, to understand translation as a site of power struggle and
potential change, and finally, to strive for translation research and practice
that is both socially relevant and personally meaningful.
