Literatures, Cultures, Translation presents a new line of books
that engage central issues in translation studies such as history,
politics, and gender in and of literary translation. This is a
culturally situated study of the interface between three forms of
transtextual rewriting: translation, adaptation and imitation. Two
questions are raised: first, how a broader rubric can be formulated
for the inclusion of the latter two forms within Translation
Studies research, and second, how this enlarged definition of
translation enables us to understand the incompatibilities between
contemporary Western theories of translation and East Asian
realities, past and present. Recent decades have seen a surge of
scholarly interest in adaptations and imitations, due to the
flourishing of cinema and fandom studies, and to the impact of a
poststructuralist turn that sheds new light on derivative
literature. Against this backdrop, a plethora of examples from the
East Asian cultural sphere are analyzed to show how rewriters have
freely appropriated, transcreated and recontextualized their source
texts. In particular, Sino-Japanese case studies are contrasted
with Sino-English ones, with both groups read against evolving
traditions of thinking about free forms of translation, East and
West.
