'Transfiction' refers to the phenomenon of language mediators portrayed as characters in literature. Research investigating this phenomenon has developed through a long series of case studies. While providing in-depth analyses of different instances of transfiction, case studies have produced findings that are anchored to specific texts, consequently precluding theoretical observations at a higher level of abstraction. Thus, this Element constructs a concentrated profile of transfiction. It asks about the state of the art of this research area and its potential to inform other subfields of translation studies. By adopting a meta-analytical research style, the Element retraces the development of transfiction studies, identifying patterns and lacunae. It then goes on to thread transfiction together with previously disconnected research strands, such as translator studies, suggesting new research questions and methodologies. Ultimately, Charting Transfiction provides a reference point for future research in this area, as well as other subfields of translation studies.

This volume shifts attention from the global reception of world-famous author, MURAKAMI Haruki’s works, to the translators whose labour enables its circulation. Moving beyond established discussions of literary style, market success, and readership, the book foregrounds the often-overlooked role of translators as cultural mediators, advocates, and agents in the international transmission of literature.Featuring contributions from translators working into Bengali, Catalan, Chinese, Italian, Russian, and Thai, alongside scholars specialising in the circulation of MURAKAMI’s works in East and South Asia, the volume provides a rare comparative and practice-based perspective on translating one of the world’s most widely read contemporary authors. Drawing on reflective accounts, professional experiences, and critical analysis, contributors explore the challenges, negotiations, and creative decisions involved in translating MURAKAMI across diverse linguistic and publishing environments.The book will appeal to scholars and students of Translation Studies, Japanese Studies, Comparative Literature, and World Literature, as well as literary translators and publishing professionals. By illuminating the social, cultural, and commercial dimensions of translation, the volume develops our understanding of translator agency and how global literary circulation is shaped through local contexts and translational practices.
