An Anthology of Chinese Discourse on Translation (Volume 1): From Earliest Times to the Buddhist Project

Translators:
Martha Cheung; Lin Wusun

Publisher:
Routledge

Publication Year:
2014




Abstract:

Translation has a long history in China. Down the centuries translators, interpreters, Buddhist monks, Jesuit priests, Protestant missionaries, writers, historians, linguists, and even ministers and emperors have all written about translation, and from an amazing array of perspectives. Such an exciting diversity of views, reflections and theoretical thinking about the art and business of translating is now brought together in a two-volume anthology. 

The first volume covers a time-frame from roughly the 5th century BCE to the twelfth century CE. It deals with translation in the civil and government context, and with the monumental project of Buddhist sutra translation. The second volume spans the 13th century CE to the Revolution of 1911, which brought an end to feudal China. It deals with the transmission of Western learning to China - a translation venture that changed the epistemological horizon and even the mindset of Chinese people. 

Comprising over 250 passages, most of which are translated into English for the first time here, the anthology is the first major source book to appear in English. It carries valuable primary material, allowing access into the minds of translators working in a time and space markedly different from ours, and in ways foreign or even inconceivable to us. The topics these writers discussed are familiar. But rather than a comfortable trip on well-trodden ground, the anthology invites us on an exciting journey of the imagination.

[Dissertation] Représenter l’espace dans les textes du haut Moyen Âge chinois Géographie politique, humaine et culturelle de la région du Jingzhou [Representating Space in Early Medieval Chinese Texts. A Political, Human and Cultural Geography of Jingzhou]

Author:
Lycas, Alexis

Year:
2015

School:
École Pratique des Hautes Études

Advisor:
François MARTIN

Abstract:

The thesis examines the emergence of geographical knowledge in Early and Early Medieval China, by focusing on the political, human and cultural aspects of the representation of space that is conveyed in texts written from the Han to the Tang dynasty. Focusing on Ancient “Central” China (Jingzhou 荊州, i.e. modern Hubei and Hunan), we analyze geographical treatises, ethnographical notes that describe non Chinese peoples (the Man 蠻) and an Early geographical monograph written in the 6th Century by Li Daoyuan 酈道元 (d. 527), the Shuijing zhu 水經注 (Water Classic Commentary). This approach sheds light on the evolution of technical knowledge, the regionalisation of China in Early Medieval times, on the imperial integration of non Chinese peoples, and on the constitution of a geography of memory.

Japanese Historiography and the Gold Seal of 57 C.E.: Relic, Text, Object, Fake

Author:
Fogel, Joshua A.

Publication Year:
2013

Publisher:
Leiden: Brill




Abstract:
In the year 57 C.E., the court of Later Han dynasty presented a gold seal to an emissary from somewhere in what is now Japan. The seal soon vanished from history, only to be unearthed in 1784 in Japan. In the subsequent two-plus centuries, nearly 400 books and articles (mostly by Japanese) have addressed every conceivable issue surrounding this small object of gold. Joshua Fogel places the conferment of the seal in inter-Asian diplomacy of the first century and then traces four waves of historical analysis that the seal has undergone since its discovery, as the standards of historical judgment have changed over these years and the investment in the seal’s meaning have changed accordingly.
