Output of the 2022 three-day international online forum, Chinese Cultures, Translation and Contemporaneity: Literature – Cinema – Performance - the Visual Arts. Co-organized by Paul Gladston and Minerva Inwald with Profs. Haiping Yan and Haina Jin, Tsinghua University, Beijing in association with Institute for World Literatures and Cultures (IWLC) International Forum Series ‘World Maps and World Cultures.’��

"The essays comprising Translation Studies and China are path-breaking in their scope--from film dubbing and back translation, to theatre, exhibition, visual art and children's books, then to poetry and fiction. And for their dialectical subtlety, which simultaneously focuses on translation as repetition of values, to translation as the domination of one set of values over others, and finally to the free possibilities symmetrical between languages that translation can prompt. The book is exemplary in its focus on the uniqueness of individual translation instances rather than on the application of theory, while in some cases generating theory. In the book's emphasis on the global situatedness of China within the forest of languages, it is nothing if not cosmopolitan."

"This is the first edited collection to critically address in its entirety questions related to the displaying of Chinese contemporary art. It includes chapters by scholars and cultural workers from diverse backgrounds involved in the interpretation of artistic as well as curatorial discourses and practices. Each of those chapters gives a detailed account of a particular, socio-culturally informed, approach to the making and showing of Chinese art - including in relation to queer identities, transculturality, the use of social media, artivism, social engagement, institutional critique, and neo-Confucian aesthetics. Together they present a vital intervention with established curatorship amidst the intensely interconnected and increasingly multi-polar cultural conditionalities of early 21st-century contemporaneity.”
