Western literature, from the mysterious figure of Marco Polo to the
deliberate fictions of Daniel Defoe and Mark Twain, has constructed
portraits of China born of dreamy parody or sheer prejudice. The
West's attempt to understand China has proven as difficult as
China's attempt to understand the West. A Poetics of Translation is
the result of academic conversations between scholars in China and
the West relating to issues in translation. "Translation" here is
meant not only as the linguistic challenges of translating from
Chinese into English or English into Chinese, but also as the wider
questions of cultural translation at a time when China is in a
period of rapid change. The volume illustrates the need for
scholars, both eastern and western, to learn very quickly to live
within the exchange of ideas, often with few precedents to guide or
advise. This book also reflects the final impossibility of the task
of translation, which is always, at best, approximate. By examining
texts from the Bible to poetry and from historical treatises to
Shakespeare, this volume carefully interrogatesâand ultimately
broadensâtranslation by exposing the multiple ways in which
linguistic, cultural, religious, historical, and philosophical
meaning are formed through cross-cultural interaction. Readers
invested in the complexities of translation betwixt China and the
West will find this volume full of intriguing studies and attentive
readings that encompass the myriad issues surrounding East-West
translation with rigor and imagination.
