Applying the latest Western translation theories to the situation
in China, this book redefines translation from an interdisciplinary
and intercultural perspective, bringing intercultural semiotic
translation into the sight of translation researchers. The book
systematically expounds on the cultural turn in translation
studies, and contributes to the escape of translation studies from
the "cage of language". It focuses on discussing the
deconstructive, post-modernist, and cultural translation theories
that have motivated and promoted the cultural turn, especially
Benjamin’s translation theory, Derrida’s deconstructive view of
translation, and post-colonial translation theory. It also
discusses in detail the theories of major international translation
theorists, including Hillis Miller, Wolfgang Iser, Edward Said,
Gayatri Spivak, Homi Bhabha, André Lefevere, Susan Bassnett, and
Lawrence Venuti. These theories are mostly based on examples from
Western or English-language texts, leaving a wide gap in the
discourse of the field. This book seeks to fill that gap. For
example, intercultural semiotic translation is defined and
explained through the successful experiences of the Chinese
translator Fu Lei. The role of translation during the Chinese
revolution and the relocation of Chinese culture in the global
cultural landscape through translation are also discussed. This
book will be an essential read to students and scholars of
translation studies and Chinese studies. It will also be a useful
resource for translators and researchers of comparative literature
and cultural studies.
