This book presents an in-depth analysis of Howard Goldblatt’s translation of Mo Yan’s Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out (L&D). It explores how Goldblatt translates the original novel under the influence of three major manipulative powers: poetics, ideology and patronage, as well as his own subjectivity (translator subjectivity), to achieve his objectives as a literary translator. The author analyses both the translation and its paratext to gain a more complete understanding of Goldblatt’s accomplishments, and examines how Goldblatt rewrites the original text under the influence of various patronage factors, such as the original author, publisher, editor, market expectancy, literary collaborator, and the target reader. This book provides a comprehensive picture of the production, reception and dissemination of Goldblatt’s translation, exposing the motivations behind his translation in full measure, and it will be of interest to students and scholars of Translation Studies, Comparative Literature and Literary Studies, and Chinese Culture and Literature. Hu Liu is lecturer at the School of Foreign Studies, West Anhui University, China. He completed his PhD in translation studies at the University of Sydney, Australia, from 2016 to 2021.

“This collection of essays represents an original and much needed contribution to the study of transcreation. The chapters are well-tuned to professional, media, technological and pedagogical realities on the ground, establishing useful links between theory and practice. Every essay in its own way takes existing scholarship forward by enriching our understanding of transcreation and carving new pathways for interdisciplinary study.” -Dionysios Kapsaskis, University of Roehampton, UK This edited book explores the practice of transcreation in a variety of contexts, from audiovisual material to digital and marketing material. Drawing on the latest developments in translation and media studies, the volume promotes an understanding of the transcreation process and the way it challenges the concept of translation (Chaume 2018) and impacts on training for translators, localizers and content creators. Chapters include both theoretical and experimental research contributions that investigate facets of transcreation in diverse media and genres and offer constructive insights in the discipline. This book covers the theoretical aspects and practices of transcreation in audiovisual and digital media and will appeal to scholars, researchers and professionals working in the fields of translation, especially audiovisual translation, transcreation, localization and new media.

In diesem Open-Access-Buch widmet sich Anna Maria Olivari der Forschungslücke der Vertonung von Thomas Manns Doktor Faustus. Sie untersucht ein Korpus von 13 unterschiedlichen Kompositionen aus dem Bereich der Neuen Musik (Opern, Monodramen, instrumentale Werke), die zwischen 1952 und 2011 entstanden sind und bisher wenig bis gar nicht rezipiert wurden. Thomas Manns Doktor Faustus ist in vielerlei Hinsicht ein breit erforschtes Werk, jedoch nicht in Bezug auf seine Vertonungen. Der Vergleich zwischen Roman und Komposition ist im Forschungsparadigma der Intermedialität angesiedelt und ermöglicht die Rekonstruktion der kompositorischen Rezeptionsgeschichte von Doktor Faustus. Die Rückkopplungseffekte zwischen Text und Musik lassen Thomas Manns Roman neu lesen. Die Autorin, Dr. Anna Maria Olivari ist Akademische Rätin auf Zeit am Lehrstuhl für neuere und neueste deutsche Literatur mit dem Schwerpunkt Gender und Diversität der Technischen Universität Dortmund. Ihre wissenschaftlichen Schwerpunkte liegen in der Musikliteraturforschung sowie in der Intersektionalitäts- und Diversitätsforschung. .

“Translation has rarely been this irreverent, and even more rarely been this much fun. In a deft interweaving of complex notions articulated with great clarity, and wonderfully fluid storytelling, Robinson took me on one of the most delightful, translationally geeky romps of my research career. But this is serious fun. Using practice-based research translation techniques that prey and play on texts, Robinson gives us deep readings of important literary texts, known and unknown, while blowing the lid off of contemporary Western culture’s most deeply held presuppositions about what a translation is supposed to be and do, opening to new worlds of potential.” —Lily Robert-Foley, Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3, France “This is a thoroughly engaging book that makes a compelling argument for experimentalism in translation. It is written with masterly command of the topic, both in terms of theory and practice, and displays the highest level of scholarship. It is a refreshingly innovative contribution to the current field of translation studies and fills a gap in the scholarship regarding the recognition of experimental translation as a subject of scholarly study in its own right.” —Alexandra Lukes, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland This book celebrates experimental translation, taking a series of exploratory looks at the hypercyborg translator, the collage translator, the smuggler translator, and the heteronymous translator. The idea isn’t to legislate traditional translations out of existence, or to “win” some kind of literary competition with the source text, but an exuberant participation in literary creativity. Turns out there are other things you can do with a great written work, and there is considerable pleasure to be had from both the doing and the reading of such things. This book will be of interest to literary translation studies researchers, as well as scholars and practitioners of experimental creative writing and avant-garde art, postgraduate translation students and professional (literary) translators. Douglas Robinson is Professor of Translation Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. .

Resourcefully adapting insights from recent queer theorists, Jones shifts the conversation on a queer Poe from sexuality to temporality, creating fresh, provocative perspectives on some of Poe’s most influential works. Jones exposes problematic heteronormative assumptions that have persistently structured Poe’s reception, with broader implications for how we read other nineteenth-century American authors. --Carl Ostrowski, Professor of English at Middle Tennessee State University and editor of Collected Tales, Poems, and Other Writings of Edgar Allan Poe (Bloomsbury 2021) Jones establishes, definitively, the validity of considering Poe as a queer author. Indeed, future studies will have to make a strong case about why we should not read Poe as queer. This galvanizing book is most welcome.--David Greven, Professor of English at the University of South Carolina and author of Gender Protest and Same-Sex Desire in Antebellum American Literature This book builds upon recent theoretical approaches that define queerness as more of a temporal orientation than a sexual one to explore how Edgar Allan Poe's literary works were frequently invested in imagining lives that contemporary readers can understand as queer, as they stray outside of or aggressively reject normative life paths, including heterosexual romance, marriage, and reproduction, and emphasize individuals' present desires over future plans. The book's analysis of many of Poe's best-known works, including "The Raven," "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Black Cat," "The Masque of the Red Death," and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," show that his attraction to the liberation of queerness is accompanied by demonstrations of extreme anxiety about the potentially terrifying consequences of non-normative choices. While Poe never resolved the conflicts in his thinking, this book argues that this compelling imaginative tension between queerness and temporal normativity is crucial to understanding his canon. Paul Christian Jones is Professor of English at Ohio University, USA, and the author of two books, Unwelcome Voices: Subversive Fiction in the Antebellum South (2005) and Against the Gallows: Antebellum American Writers and the Movement to Abolish Capital Punishment (2011).
