Multilingualism, Literature and Translation in East Asia explores a broad spectrum of theoretical, methodological and empirical questions about multilingualism, literary translation and meaning-making in East Asia in a way that challenges traditional Western-centric approaches.
The book offers fresh perspectives on East Asian multilingual phenomena through contributions from both established and emerging global scholars, addressing crucial gaps in current scholarship. It examines topics such as world literature, postcolonial/diasporic literature, minority languages, dialect translation and the complexities of re-translating multilingual works, while providing innovative bi/multilingual models of literary translation specific to East Asian linguistic contexts.
This edited collection is for scholars working on East Asian languages, literatures, translation and multilingualism around the world.
