Translating Foreign Otherness : Cross-Cultural Anxiety in Modern China Paperback / softback
by Yifeng (Lingnan University, Hong Kong) Sun
Part of the Routledge Advances in Translation and Interpreting Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book explores the deep-rooted anxiety about foreign otherness manifest through translation in modern China in its endeavours to engage in cross-cultural exchanges.
It offers to theorize and contextualize a related range of issues concerning translation practice in response to foreign otherness.
The book also introduces new vistas to some of the under-explored aspects of translation practice concerning ideology and cultural politics from the late Qing dynasty to the present day.
Largely as a result of translation, ethnocentric beliefs and feelings have given way to a more open and liberal way to approach and appropriate foreign otherness.
However, the fear of Westernization, seen as a threat to Chinese cultural integrity and social stability, is still shown sporadically through the state’s ideological control over translation.
The book interprets, questions and reformulates a number of the key theoretical issues in Translation Studies and also demonstrates their ramifications in a bid to shed light on Chinese translation practice.
