This book examines many facets of transcultural poetics in the
English translation of Chinese literature from 12 different expert
contributors. Translating Chinese literature into English is a
special challenge. There is a pressing need to overcome a slew of
obstacles to the understanding and appreciation of Chinese literary
works by readers in the English-speaking world. Hitherto only
intermittent attempts have been made to theorize and explore the
exact role of the translator as a cultural and aesthetic mediator
informed by cross-cultural knowledge, awareness, and sensitivity.
Given the complexity of literary translation, sophisticated poetics
of translation in terms of literary value and aesthetic taste needs
to be developed and elaborated more fully from a cross-cultural
perspective. It is, therefore, necessary to examine attempts to
reconcile the desire for authentic transmission of Chinese culture
with the need for cultural mediation and appropriation in terms of
the production and reception of texts, subject to the multiplicity
of constraints, in order to shed new light on the longstanding
conundrum of Chinese-English literary translation by addressing
Chinese literature in the multiple contexts of nationalism,
cross-cultural hybridity, literary untranslatability, the reception
of translation, and also world literature. The book will be of
great interest to students and scholars of translation studies,
Chinese literature, and East Asian studies.
