The Art of War by Sun Tzu is an ancient yet invaluable Chinese military classic that is still relevant today. This book presents a systematic and in-depth investigation into the translation and reception of The Art of War in Western strategic culture.Aided by three self-built corpora, this book adopts a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative analysis, and takes both the core text and its paratexts of The Art of War into consideration. The author highlights the significance of proper approaches to translating culture in regards to the core text and effective measures of culture reconstruction in regards to the paratexts. It is revealed by this investigation that the translated Sun Tzu has undergone three major stages before its canonization in Western discourse. The findings bring to light the multiple factors that contribute to the incorporation of Sun Tzu’s strategic wisdom into Western culture.For scholars interested in translation studies, (critical) discourse analysis, as well as strategic studies, this book provides fresh insights and new perspectives.

Given the importance of student learning in the various types and integration of STEM education, this book provides a landscape of cross-disciplinary STEM learning in Asian primary schools, and a systematic overview of design, practices, and outcomes of STEM learning implementation.Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has continued to attract attention worldwide, and there have been calls for the promotion of STEM education in primary schools to nurture students to meet the needs of societies in terms of innovation and technology development. Since STEM is complex in nature and is related to various disciplines, the effort of a single discipline may not be as effective as cross-disciplinary efforts. This edited volume, involving an Asian team of authors, examines how cross-disciplinary STEM learning can be designed for students to achieve viable outcomes, and what opportunities and challenges have been offered to the next generation to equip them with the necessary skills, knowledge, and ways of thinking, as well as attitudes and values for lifelong learning.A resourceful text for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in the rich development of STEM education and practical methods for a variety of learning approaches from elementary to secondary education has been provided.

Focusing on multimodality in translation studies, this edited volume presents insights into the models, trends, and practices of multimodal translation across a variety of media contexts in contemporary China.The book is structured into five main themes, investigating audiovisual translation in digital media, multimodal translation of Chinese classics in print media, multimodal design in website translation, stance and ideology of paratexts in news translation, and the use of paralanguage and visual cues in quasi-on-site multimodal translation such as conference interpreting. Contributors draw on various theoretical models and research methods, including systemic functional multimodal discourse analysis, narrative theory, Skopos-functional theory, multimodal analysis of digital discourse, corpus-assisted multimodal analysis, questionnaire surveys, and interviews. The volume covers major topics in multimodal translation studies, ranging from emerging multimodal translation models to multimodal creativity in inter-lingual subtitling for social media, image framing in multimodal metaphor translation, and intersemiotic structure, information value, cohesion, and coherence in different textures of media translation. Through ample solid empirical studies, it aims to shed lights on the methodological development of multimodal translation across various media forms, including social media, websites, on-site interactions, and books.The title will be of great value to scholars and students studying linguistics, translation studies, multimodal discourse analysis, and digital media.
