Eco-Translatology: Towards an Eco-paradigm of Translation Studies: New Frontiers in Translation Studies

Autor (Hugs) Gengshen Hu
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mar 2021
This book offers a panoramic view of the emerging eco-paradigm of Translation Studies, known as Eco-Translatology, and presents a systematic study of the theoretical discourse from ecological perspectives in the field of Translation Studies. Eco-Translatology describes and interprets translation activities in terms of the ecological principles of Eco-holism, traditional Eastern eco-wisdom, and ‘Translation as Adaptation and Selection’. Further, Eco-Translatology approaches the phenomenon of translation as a broadly conceived eco-system in which the ideas of ‘Translation as Adaptation and Selection’, as well as translation as a ‘textual transplant’ promoting an ‘eco-balance’, are integrated into an all-encompassing vision. Lastly, Eco-Translatology reinforces contextual uniqueness, emphasizing the deep embeddedness of texts, translations, and the human agents involved in their production and reception in their own habitus. It is particularly encouraging, in this increasingly globalisedworld, to see a new paradigm sourced from East Asian traditions but with universal appeal and applications, and which adds to the diversity and plurality of global Translation Studies.
 
This book, the first of its kind, will substantially expand the horizons of Translation Studies, a field that is still trying to define its own borders, and will open a wealth of new possibilities. Destined to become a milestone in the field of Translation, Interpretation and Adaptation Studies, as well as eco-criticism, it will introduce readers to a wholly new epistemological intervention in Translation Studies and therefore will open new vistas of thoughts, discussion and criticism.

Explores the emerging eco-paradigm of Eco-Translatology, encompassing the past, present and future Probes into the three research foci of textual ecologies, ‘translator community’ ecologies, and translation-environment ecologies Highlights differences between existing translation approaches and the new eco-paradigm of Eco-Translatology, which draws on ancient Eastern eco-wisdom Provides insights into the principles of selective adaptation and adaptive selection, multi-dimensional transformation, and green translation, offering translators guidance on eco-translation studies and practice
