Albert Camus in China
Albert Camus in China While his fame and his profound influence were reaching out to the whole world in the 20th century, Albert Camus had to face his late arrival in modern China. For a China that was deeply mired in the domestic conflicts and foreign invasions in the first half of the last century and for the Chinese intellectuals struggling in a time out of joint, Camus’s Sisyphus Question that explored all the aspects of human existence in an age of peace and his sense of outsiderness were too untimely. However, for a China that had been closed to the outside world for more than thirty years and for her people who had survived the Anti-Rightist Movement and the Great Starvation in the 1950s and the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s and 1970s, any modernistic writings on absurdity and anti-absurdity or nihility and anti-nihility would better portray their spiritual predicament and pursuit than the classics. Accordingly, around the beginning of the 1980s when modern Western literary works were rushing into China, Camus’s rise in the Chinese horizon turned out to be timely. I. Introduction, Translation and Publication of Camus in China There were two modes for the reception of Camus in Mainland China. In philosophy, he was cited as a representative of existentialism and was introduced to the Chinese academia soon after Sartre. In literature, Camus as a Nobel Prize winner as well as a representative of absurdism, started to be widely admired by Chinese writers and scholars. 1 In October 1979, Feng Hanlv published his Camus and Absurdism in “Materials for Foreign Literature Research”. -
A Case Study of the Chinese Translations of the Second Sex
Manipulating Simone De Beauvoir: A Case Study of the Chinese Translations of The Second Sex Nicki Liu Haiping The Chinese University of Hong Kong Abstract Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex, one of the most influential feminist works and the starting point of second-wave feminism, has been translated and published several times in Mainland China and Taiwan since 1972 to date. This paper seeks to analyse how the Chinese translations of The Second Sex are manipulated by its cultural mediators, especially translators. Drawing upon the Manipulation School’s theoretical frameworks, this paper firstly probes into the praxis of translation activities and Chinese feminist discourses since the 1970s through close reading of the paratextual materials of all the Chinese translations of The Second Sex, including translators’ prefaces, publishers’ notes and introductions. Secondly, through a detailed comparison of two chapters — “Sexual Initiation” and “The Married Woman” — among four Chinese translations, this paper attempts to bring to highlight and analyse the complexities of the configuration of gender/sexual identities taken on by translators, the tension between patriarchy and feminism faced by translators in their social context, and the emotional affinities with or resistance to the source text conveyed by translators in their translations — and, ultimately, of how all of these factors shape the Chinese translations of The Second Sex at a linguistic level. Key Words: Beauvoir, feminism, manipulation theory, paratexts, gender, sexuality Introduction Chinese translations of Western feminist classics have been complicated by cultural barriers and manipulated by publishers and translators. Often regarded as a major work of feminist philosophy and the starting point of second-wave feminism, Le Deuxième Sexe was translated into English by H.M. -

Translating Feminism in China
Translating Feminism in China This book explores translation of feminism in China through examining several Chinese translations of two typical feminist works: The Second Sex (TSS, Beauvoir 1949/1952) and The Vagina Monologues (TVM, Ensler 1998). TSS exposes the cultural construction of woman while TVM reveals the pervasiveness of sexual oppression toward women. The female body and female sexuality (including lesbian sexuality) constitute a challenge to the Chinese translators due to cultural differences and sexuality still being a sensitive topic in China. This book inves tigates from gender and feminist perspectives, how TSS and TVM have been translated and received in China, with special attention to how the translators meet the challenges. Since translation is the gateway to the reception of feminism, an examination of the translations should reveal the response to feminism of the translator as the fi rst reader and gatekeeper, and how feminism is translated both ideologically and technically in China. The translators’ decisions are discussed within the social, historical, and political contexts. Translating Feminism in China discusses, among other issues: • Feminist translation: practice, theory, and studies • Translating the female body and sexuality • Translating lesbianism • Censorship, sexuality, and translation This book will be relevant to postgraduate students and researchers of translation studies. It will also interest academics interested in feminism, gender studies and Chinese literature and culture. Zhongli Yu is Assistant -
"Experimenting with Dance Drama: Peking Opera Modernity, Kabuki Theater Reform and the Denishawn’S Tour of the Far East"
Journal of Global Theatre History ISSN: 2509-6990 Issue 1, Number 2, 2016, pp. 28-37 Catherine Vance Yeh "Experimenting with Dance Drama: Peking Opera Modernity, Kabuki Theater Reform and the Denishawn’s Tour of the Far East" Abstract During the 1910s and 20s, Peking opera underwent a fundamental transformation from a performing art primarily driven by singing to one included acting and dancing. Leading this new development were male actors playing female roles, with Mei Lanfang as the most outstanding example. The acknowledged sources on which these changes drew were the encounter with Western style opera. The artistic and social values carrying these changes, however, suggest that Peking opera underwent a qualitative reconceptualization that involved a critical break with its past. This paper will explore the artistic transformation of Peking opera of the 1910s-20s by focusing on the three areas of contact Paris, Japan and the US. It will argue that the particular artistic innovation in Peking can only be fully understood and appraised in the context of global cultural interaction. It suggests that a new assessment of the modernist movement is needed that sees it as a part of a global trend rather than only as a European phenomenon. Author Catherine Vance Yeh is Professor of Modern Chinese Literature and Transcultural Studies at Boston University. Her research focuses on the global migration of literary forms; the transformation of theater aesthetics in transcultural interaction, and entertainment culture as agent of social change. Her publications include Shanghai Love: Courtesans, Intellectuals and Entertainment Culture, 1850-1910; and The Chinese Political Novel: Migration of a World Genre. -
