Description

Explore the diverse landscape of Asian translation traditions with this academic work from Routledge. While translation studies often rely on Western models of monolingual nations and print-literate societies, this book examines how Asian societies offer different perspectives. Many Asian cultures feature multilingual populations and maintain strong oral traditions for passing down cultural knowledge. These factors create unique approaches to what defines a text, an original work, or a translation. Rather than focusing on simple equivalence, these traditions often prioritize performance and change within the translation process. This book provides a necessary look at how these alternative notions shape the history and practice of translation across the continent.
