The Renditions Series and Modern Chinese Literature’s “Going-out”: Its Model and Enlightenment of Translation, Communication and Dissemination

In the process of Chinese Literature’s “Going-out” project, it istypical of the dilemma faced by the external translation and dissemination of modernChinese literature. The Renditions Series serves as a classical case of providing aneffective model of “literature’s overseas distribution”. The successful experience of itstranslating-cum-disseminating model can be concluded as follows: all the translatorsare from China and overseas with cross-cultural background; the selection oftranslation is stylistically far-ranging among the Mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong,and feminine literature in modern China is highly valued; translating method aims atconvoying the original literary aesthetics, and disseminating channels are manifold;the foreign recipients are common and professional readers; the eminent effects canbe proved by its considerable sales, library collections and acceptance in the targetcountries and regions. From the successful model of translation of Renditions Series,five implications can be made out for the modern Chinese literature’s “Going-global”:domestic and overseas translators cooperate well with all-round cultural identities; theselection holds onto diversification and literary character; various spreading channelsshould be broadened; target readers should be accurately located and continuouslywidened; translating and disseminating effects can be focused on and analyzed, so asto adjust and improve the corresponding sections in the model.

Diabetes:A Transcultural History of a Disease Concept in the Late Qing and Republican China

In the past few years,the medical knowledge transfer in a West-East direction has attracted increased scholarly attention from European and American historians,whereas studies on such“knowledge travels”conducted in the East Asian context focus mainly on political and socio-cultural concepts.To provide an alternative perspective on the travel of Western medicine to Chinese soil,a case study on“diabetes”is conducted,under the theoretical framework of“transcultural conceptual history.”This article systematically analyzes the standardization,popularization,politicization,and derivatization of“diabetes,”calling for further attention to transcultural histories of medical concepts in modern China.

＂New＂ Translations of Japanese Literature： Socio-cultural Impacts on the Japanese Mind

In terms of translation theory today, the essential discussions of ＂otherness＂, coupled with the agenda of bilateral approaches to its untranslatability, are much more intense than ever. The stereotypical images of Japan as something quite alien yet enchanting in Japanese literature, in The Tale of Genji for instance, are drastically different from those in modem novels, where the experience of conflicts with the West in the course of modernization could not be ignored. Shusaku Endo＇s Silence for example, paradoxically questions the translatability of Christianity in the historical context of the Japanese mind. By reading some translated texts of Japanese literature, we come to be aware of the essential factors of＂otherness＂ inherent in Japanese culture and language which, in some socio-cultural ways, has had an interesting effect on Japanese minds. With the growing interest in ＂world literature,＂ ＂otherness＂ and ＂untranslatability＂ illuminated in the translations of Japanese literature offer a new perspective with which we can re-think our sense of history of modernization on the one hand; and re-evaluate the uniqueness of Japanese language on the other. The remarkable influence of translators whose mother tongue is not Japanese, but who have an excellent command of the language, enables a new Japanese culture to emerge. This is evident in the works of Arthur Binard, an American poet and translator, who enthusiastically criticizes the Japanese policy of atomic energy in his translations of the Japanese poems after World War II, and in the very inspiring essays on Japanese by Roger Pulvers, an Australian writer and playwright who won prizes for his translations of Kenji Miyazawa. Along with such new trend of translations of Japanese literature, how it affects the Japanese mind will be discussed.

Analysis of publication dissemination of Chinese present current literature work English translation and research methodologies

As a systematic work, there are very close links between the various aspects of the English translation of Chinese modern and contemporary literary works, whether they are translated into the main body, translated content and other links, or a specific translation approach, are not segmentation. Many translators, sinologists and books, magazines and so on have played a very important role in the process of translating modern and contemporary literary works in China. However with English-Chinese “borrowism” compared with, English work that translates the Chinese present current literature work, no matter in quantity and quality, infi uence and other aspects that the work itself has appear the relative backwardness. In order to promote the modern and contemporary Chinese literary works in the world, it is necessary to analyze and study the English translation of Chinese modern and contemporary literary works and the research methods.

从“literature journals”说开去——兼论中国现代文化产业史视域下的抗战文学期刊诸问题

从“抗战文学期刊”这一词语的英译入手,结合中国现代文化产业史这一大背景,进行抗战文学期刊的研究具有非常重要的文献性意义。抗战文学期刊除具有文学意义之外,还拥有政治史、社会史与经济史等跨学科的研究价值。以中国现代文化产业史为切入点,可以将抗战文学期刊研究推向一个新的高度。

The “Liberation” Theme of Modern Chinese Literature

The concept of “liberation” has profoundly influenced the development of modern Chinese literature,giving rise to a “liberation” theme with profound implications.Modern Chinese literature can be analyzed from the joint perspectives of the liberators,the routes to liberation and the scope of liberation.Variations among the liberators have led to the two different concepts of self-liberation and being liberated;the differences in the routes to liberation have led to the intermixture of liberation based on persuasion and struggle-based liberation;and the difference in the scope of liberation derives from the alternation of the partial achievement of thoroughgoing liberation and the full realization of incremental liberation.The Chinese concept of liberation was strongly shaped by the Communist Party of China (CPC);compared to the work of those writers influenced by the CPC’s concept of “liberation,” the writings of ordinary non-Communist writers present “liberation” differently.The latter tend to adopt an either/or attitude toward liberation,whereas the former ensure that liberation theme reflects the interaction and blending of different types of “liberation” concepts,thus establishing a new form of “liberation” writing.To mark the centenary of the CPC,we have reviewed and explored the “liberation” theme of modern Chinese literature in the hope that we will gain a full understanding of the theoretical discourse and historical practice of “liberation,” taking a dialectical approach to freedom and responsibility,respecting tradition while boldly pursuing innovation,and striving to explore the realistic significance and ideological value of literary works.

Translated Literature and the New Literary Revolution in China

本文主要对从1919年＂新文化＂运动前后到1937年日本侵华战争全面开始这段时间中国的文学翻译活动进行＂描写＂。中国翻译文学的历史发端于＂五四＂时期,随着＂五四＂新文化运动的兴起,翻译文学大为兴盛,给新文学运动以极大的影响和推动。翻译文学在这一时期队伍宏大、范围广泛、翻译语言与风格等独具特色。文章综述了这一时期从各国翻译到中国的主要文学作品,并分析了翻译文学对中国现代文学的发展带来的影响。本文利用佐哈尔的＂多元体系理论＂分析,认为＂五四＂时期的翻译文学在中国的文学系统中占有＂主导＂地位,对中国的现代文学具有一定的催生作用。＂五四＂时期虽然出现了翻译与创作共同存在的局面,但总体上来说,翻译文学是占有主导地位的,而且创作也在很大程度上是一种＂拟作＂。

美国现代中国文学史书写的美学范式与谱系

自20世纪60年代至今,美国的现代中国文学史书写思想多元,成就斐然。其书写路径最具代表性的是夏志清的新批评美学、许芥昱的政治美学以及王德威的后现代主义美学。不同时期美学范式的变迁反映了中美关系变迁、西方文学理论思潮冲击以及汉学史的内在流变等诸多因素。内外因素交织的历史语境生成了文学性历史与历史性文学的辩证以及解构主义思路。通过考察三位华裔学者不同的美学范式与交叉谱系,可以更好地揭示美国的现代中国文学史书写的整体脉络,为国内文学史研究提供互鉴与交流的跨文化阐释思路。

近代翻译文学:教育观念转变的“引擎”

鸦片战争以降,西学翻译和教育变革成为国人呼声最高的两剂救亡药方。对于翻译中伴随的异质性,如何作用于教育转型的进程,进而引领着教育观念的转变,值得寻绎。潮水般涌入华夏大地的泰西文学,促使近代人才观不断位移,各类译著中的西方人物,焕发出别具一格的魅力,为国人树立了一种新型人才“标杆”。西方教育小说中的教师,呈现出与传统中国教师截然不同的面相,成为形塑崭新师生关系的直接资源。在翻译小说的浸染之下,通俗文学逐渐深入人心,并在课堂上下、校园内外枝蔓攀升、花蕊广播。国人的知识结构在翻译文学的影响之下进行重组,中国教育模式得以吐故纳新,新的教育生态也逐渐建构起来。

中国儿童文学学术史研究的机理与构想

中国儿童文学学术史是“现代中国”“儿童文学”“学术史”彼此重构的学术史,其逻辑前提是中国儿童文学作为一门独立学科被确认,这就要求在知识学科化的框架内开掘出学术史发展的内在生成机理。既然是学术史研究,就要遵循历史研究的方法,学术编年、学术思潮和断代学术史的整合都是重构中国儿童文学学术史的方略。中国儿童文学学术史具有批判性与建构性的双重特质,它既是中国现代学术转型的产物,又在很大程度上推动了中国现代学术转型的进程。现代汉语写作是中国儿童文学学术史研究的原点,对文化史、思想史、政治史、革命史等大系统的区别与融通彰显了其本体价值。基于同源性的机制,中国儿童文学与现当代文学的学术实践具有同一性,但也在学术现代化的过程中锻造了自己的主体性。

中国现当代文学在海外的译介与接受

中国文学“走出去”战略是中国文化“走出去”战略的重要组成部分。近年来,我国政府发起了一系列的助推中国文学“走出去”活动和项目,但成效并不明显。鉴于此,本文以中国现当代文学的传播为研究对象,分析中国现当代文学在海外的译介及接受现状,并从西方读者对中国文学的偏见、中国现当代文学作品外译乏力及其在海外出版发行与传播不力等三个方面阐述了中国现当代文学在海外遇冷现象的原因,旨在认清自身存在的不足,更好地推动中国现当代文学“走出去”。

中国式现代化视域下“越境”中国的日本文学研究的再思考

中国式现代化理论为全新认识“越境”中国的日本文学提供了崭新的研究视角和进一步探索的可能。本文在探讨外国文学研究作为思考中国式现代化的有益视角,应根植于中国现实,服务于国家战略的基础上,深入剖析了中国式现代化视域下“越境”中国的日本文学研究的方法和路径,以战后日本作家笔下的热爱和平、以和为贵的中国形象为例,深度阐释了在中国式现代化进程中,中华民族经过不屈不挠、艰苦卓绝的斗争,在赢得了抗日战争的胜利后,以博大的胸怀,善待和救助被日本政府抛弃的日本侨民,展现了中日两国由于选择了不同的现代化道路,带来了迥异的国家前途和各自的民族命运,从一个侧面揭示了中国式现代化道路的中国特色,并借以批判和否定了日本的现代化道路。

中国式现代化进程中新时期红色文艺的传承与创新

伴随着中国式现代化发展进程,新时期以来的红色文艺一方面传承着此前“经典”红色文艺中时代性、人民性、党的先进性等核心价值理念,一方面又在主题内容、形象塑造、表达方式、风格呈现等方面开创了审美新质。主题内容上紧跟中国式现代化的时代律动,脱贫攻坚、反腐倡廉、抗击疫情等主题拓展了传统“红色文艺”的革命题材边界。形象塑造上既有共产党人的先锋模范式英雄,也涌现出大量的平民化英雄。表达方式上从“个人记忆”的前设视角转化为“集体记忆”的后设视角,使作品具有更宏阔的视野和理论审视的色彩。风格呈现上更具有娱乐性和亲和力,更易打动人心,引起共鸣。尽管新时期以来的“红色文艺”在经典传承中有了诸多创新,但仍存在有待提升的空间,如红色内涵与人性规律、审美规律的契合问题,市场化与艺术化调和的问题等,这是在新的历史考验中需要直面回答的时代问题。

文化回译视角下抗战文学汉译研究——以《红星照耀中国》为例

文化回译是一种特殊的翻译现象,旨在将用A国语言描写B国文化的跨国文学作品译为B国语言并使其回归B国文化。从文化回译视角出发,综合运用文献法、归纳法、案例分析法来研究《红星照耀中国》董乐山汉译本,根据谭载喜提出的“还原式”和“建构/重构式”文化回译理论,归纳并阐释回译本中涉及专有名词、专业术语、文化负载词的语言回译和涉及信息缺失表达、解释性表达、误读表达的文化回译所采取的翻译方法与策略,以期指导抗战文学的回译实践,推动中国“红色文化”的对外交流与传播。

少数民族史诗中专有名词英译研究

中国是一个统一的多民族国家,少数民族文学是中华民族文化的有机组成部分,也是人类珍贵的文化遗产。我国少数民族三大英雄史诗之一的《玛纳斯》包含大量承载中华传统文化的专有名词。本文通过对《玛纳斯》艾什玛特演唱本中马匹专有名词翻译方法的分析和研究,认为中华史诗典籍英译既要实现语言层面的传递,也要实现文化层面的交流。本研究对于进一步推动中华文化“走出去”以及构建中国对外文学话语体系有一定启示意义。

《汉文台湾日日新报》所载谢汝铨译久保天随《中国文学史》考论

《汉文台湾日日新报》在1907年至1908年连载了久保天随所著的《中国文学史》,由时任该报主笔的谢汝铨根据1904年早稻田大学出版社版本翻译而成。谢汝铨的翻译在字句上基本能够遵循原著,但由于报刊连载的篇幅与周期限制,译文在结构和内容上与原著有所不同。久保天随及当时日本汉学界的文学观念对谢汝铨产生了较大影响,这是其翻译此书的主要原因。谢汝铨的翻译可以视作近代知识分子试图将西方文学研究观念与保存推广传统文学相结合的一次尝试。

西部乡土小说中乡土语言的翻译策略研究——以雪漠小说为例

乡土小说是中国文学中非常重要的一种文学形式,蕴含丰富文化内涵和浓郁地域特色的乡土语言则是其不可或缺的载体。甘肃作家雪漠创作的《大漠祭》和《猎原》两部小说,以甘肃农村为地域背景,用充满生活气息和地方特色的语言为读者展现了一幅西北农村的“风俗画面”。文章以这两部小说的英译本为例,探讨和分析译者在翻译小说中乡土语言时运用的翻译策略及经验得失。研究发现,在翻译乡土语言时,译者灵活采用了多种翻译策略,既注重中国本土文化观念与表达方式的准确传递,使原文异域特色得以保留;也关照了译入语读者的认知惯习,对一些地域特色明显的乡土语言表达淡化处理,确保了译文的可读性与接受性。
