Integrating theoretical perspectives with carefully grounded
ethnographic analyses of everyday interaction and experience,
Living Translation examines the worlds of international translators
as well as U.S. teachers and students of Chinese medicine, focusing
on the transformations that occur as participants engage in a
"search for resonance" with foreign terms and concepts. Based on a
close examination of heated international debates as well as
specific texts, classroom discussions, and interviews with
publishers, authors, teachers, and students, Sonya Pritzker
demonstrates the "living translation" of Chinese medicine as a
process unfolding through interaction, inscription, embodied
experience, and clinical practice. By documenting the stream of
conversations that together constitute this process, the book thus
traces the translation of Chinese medicine from text to practice
with an eye towards the social, political, historical, moral, and
even personal dimensions involved in the transnational production
of knowledge about health, illness, and the body.
