The Cultural Turn in Translation StudiesAuthor(s): Wang Ning\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032638195, 978-1032638195\nSynopsis\nApplying the latest Western translation theories to the situation in China, this book redefines translation from an interdisciplinary and intercultural perspective, bringing intercultural semiotic translation into the sight of translation researchers.\n\nThis book systematically expounds on the cultural turn in translation studies and contributes to the escape of translation studies from the \""cage of language\"". It focuses on discussing the deconstructive, postmodernist, and cultural translation theories that have motivated and promoted the cultural turn, especially Benjamins translation theory, Derridas deconstructive view of translation, and postcolonial translation theory. It also discusses in detail the theories of major international translation theorists, including Hillis Mille.
