Microhistorical insights into translation at the Jiangnan Arsenal during the self-strengthening movement (1860s–1890s)
This article examines how the Jiangnan Arsenal mediated China’s encounter with Western science during the Self-Strengthening Movement (1860s – 1890s) through a tripartite ecosystemic framework. At the macro-level, the Arsenal is observed as a state-led translation apparatus aimed at bolstering China’s defensive modernization while maintaining cultural sovereignty. The meso-level focuses on Shu Gaodi, a Chinese-born, US-educated physician, teacher…

Legal constraints and translation variations
The export of traditional Chinese medicinal products (TCMs) poses several problems directly linked to translation. The products themselves and their active ingredients lack notoriety outside Asia. Moreover, claims about the therapeutic virtues of the medicines may not consistently be reproduced as different jurisdictions will not allow them. This article studies the packaging of TCMs sold in the United States of America (USA) using Vinay and Darb…

Outline of a theory of non-translation
Non-translation has not been adequately theorised despite its relevance to conceptualising how texts circulate across linguistic and cultural borders. This article outlines a theory which defines non-translation in three ways: first, in terms of systemic resistance to translation; second, as a set of procedures forming part of an overarching translation strategy; third, as the result of discourse that conceals the process of translation for vario…

Qualitative Research Methods in Translation Theory
This article analyses different methodological approaches adopted by theoretical articles published in translation studies journals. To account for the range of perspectives, a small corpus comprising articles from three journals listed in both the Thomson and Reuters Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) was studied. The article discusses how the methods used could gain in rigor from being forma…
Beckett by Brook or theatre uplifted by abusive fidelity
This article considers Samuel Beckett through the lens of theatre director Peter Brook. More specifically, it looks at the ways in which Brook engages with Beckett, both in his theoretical writings, and in his stage productions. What becomes apparent is not only that Brook highly values Beckett personally, but that he is especially taken with his dramaturgy, the particular quality of which lies, in Brook’s eyes, in its capacity to rid itself of a…

Theorising (un)performability and (un)translatability
In recent years, ‘translatability’, or rather, ‘untranslatability’ has been a much-discussed topic in translation studies. However, the state of its theorisation has remained relatively rudimentary, focusing in large part on assertions that specific texts, or textual features cannot be translated on the basis of certain cultural, ideological, or linguistic idiosyncrasies. In theatre and performance studies, the closely comparable notion of ‘unper…
Theater Translation Research Methodologies
Theater translation is an emerging area of research. However, to date, there has been no detailed consideration of the type of methodologies required to conduct such research. This article examines methods and practices in both theater and translation studies in order to discuss their applicability to study theater translation specifically. It categorizes existing research into output-oriented and process-oriented elaborating the specificities of…
La littérature en médiations
Le projet « Literature under Constraint » est né de l’hypothèse très générale qu’il est arrivé quelque chose à la littérature française contemporaine, abstraction faite des jugements de valeur qu’on peut y porter, et que ce quelque chose peut être appréhendé grâce à la notion de contrainte. Pour ce faire, une perspective multidisciplinaire, maniant à la fois les outils propres à l’analyse littéraire (explication de texte, stylistique, génétique t…

Franglais Fops” and Mocking the French in English Restoration Theater
In the latter half of the seventeenth century, France was the dominant cultural force and England lay under its influence in terms of art and fashion. However, Restoration comedy found a means of turning the power structure on its head by overtly mocking those subjugated by all things French. The stock character commonly known as the “Frenchified fop”, but which I prefer to label a “Franglais fop” for reasons that shall become apparent, is one of…
