Beskrivning
This book offers a timely exploration of how translation operates as a method for negotiating Hong Kong’s hybrid cultural identity, resisting rigid linguistic hierarchies, and fostering new forms of literary and artistic innovation. The digitalization of culture and the increasing role of intersemiotic translation across various media, as well as the adaptation of Hong Kong’s literary and artistic heritage in global discourse all underscore the necessity of a scholarly framework that critically engages with translation beyond a purely linguistic model. This book integrates such interdisciplinary perspectives on literature, history, media, and the arts and addresses the shifting conditions under which Hong Kong is being translated—both literally and metaphorically—across languages, cultural traditions, and political contexts. More than a conventional study of translation, this book highlights an evolving method that enables a deeper understanding of the Hong Kong’s complex cultural transformations in a globalized world. As such, this book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Chinese culture and society, Hong Kong Studies and Translation Studies.
