Free Translation, Adaptation, and Imitation: Translation and Translingual Writing

2/5 ( ratings)

Literatures, Cultures, Translation presents a new line of books that engage central issues in translation studies such as history, politics, and gender in and of literary translation.

Translation studies and adaptation studies are relatively new disciplines. The question of how adaptation should be viewed in relation to translation is still hotly debated. Free Translation, Adaptation, and Imitation is a significant contribution to the debate because it argues, controversially, and via case studies of Chinese and Japanese literature and popular culture, that while the differences between translation and adaptation studies must be recognized, they are not in fact separate fields.
