Conjointement à son édition chinoise publiée simultanément par les Presses de l’Université de Nanjing, on trouvera ici édité en français le texte intégral des communications prononcées lors du colloque international de Nankin (Chine). Cette première manifestation scientifique d’importance, consacrée à la présence et à la représentation de la Chine dans l’œuvre littéraire des écrivains français du XXe siècle, était coorganisée par l’Université française d’Artois et l’Université chinoise de Nanjing, qui accueillit du 4 au 7 octobre 1999 une vingtaine de chercheurs de ces deux universités ainsi que d’autres instituts de recherche et d’enseignement supérieur des deux pays. Au-delà des études monographiques dédiées, par les meilleurs spécialistes chinois et français, aux figures majeures de la sinophilie littéraire française du début du siècle (Loti, Claudel, Segalen, Saint-John Perse, Malraux, Michaux…) ou plus contemporaine (Marguerite Yourcenar, Gérard Macé, Pascal Quignard…), c’est surtout à une investigation de l’empreinte et de 1’imaginaire de la Chine chez les écrivains français du XXe siècle que se sont attachées les communications. À un moment de crise particulièrement aigue de la conscience européenne, la Chine semble bien avoir été, pour plusieurs générations de poètes et romanciers français et très au-delà de toute « cristallisation » ou « folklorisation », une destination et un espace de représentation dont l’importance symbolique a orienté toute une œuvre, et toute une vie parfois. « Forge des mythes » pour un Malraux – selon la belle expression de Pierre Morel, Ambassadeur de France en Chine, dans l’allocution inaugurale dont il a honoré ce colloque –, la Chine a aussi représenté pour plusieurs écrivains de cette époque un fantasme de symbiose parfaite (occident / orient, mais pas seulement…) – avec le rêve de se connaître enfin soi-même au contact de cet Autre absolu qu’est 1’« exote » chinois (Segalen), mais aussi avec le risque terrifiant de s’y…

"Chinese and English are the world's largest languages and the number of interpreter-mediated interactions involving Chinese- and English-speakers has increased exponentially over the last 30 years. This book presents and describes examples of Chinese-English interpreting across a large number of settings: conference interpreting, diplomatic interpreting, media interpreting, business interpreting, police, legal and court interpreting, and healthcare interpreting. Interpreters working in these fields face not only the challenge of providing optimal inter-lingual transfer, they also need to fully understand the discourse-pragmatic conventions of both Chinese- and English-speakers. This innovative book provides an overview of established and contemporary frameworks of intercultural communication and applies these to a large sample of Chinese-English interpreted interactions. The authors introduce the Inter-Culturality Framework as a descriptive tool to identify and describe the strategies and footings that interpreters adopt. This book contains findings from detailed data with Chinese-English interpreters as experts not only in inter-lingual exchange, but cross-linguistic and intercultural communication. As such, it is a detailed and authoritative guide for trainee as well as practising Chinese-English interpreters"--

"In history, myth often abides. It was long assumed that the centuries immediately prior to AD 1000 were lacking in any major cultural developments or geopolitical encounters, that the Europeans hadn't yet discovered North America, that the farthest anyone had traveled over sea was the Vikings' invasion of Britain. But how, then, to explain the presence of blonde-haired people in Mayan temple murals in Chichen Itza, Mexico? Could it be possible that the Vikings had found their way to the Americas during the height of the Mayan empire? Valerie Hansen, a much-honored historian, argues that the year 1000 was the world's first point of major cultural exchange and exploration. Drawing on nearly thirty years of research on medieval China and global history, she presents a compelling account of first encounters between disparate societies. As people on at least five continents ventured outward, they spread technology, new crops, and religion. These encounters, she shows, made it possible for Christopher Columbus to reach the Americas in 1492, and set the stage for the process of globalization that so dominates the modern era. For readers of Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel and Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens, The Year 1000 is an intellectually daring, provocative account that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about how the modern world came to be. It will also hold up a mirror to the hopes and fears we experience today."--
