讲座摘要:
How does a world in which English is the academic lingua franca impact the humanities scholar? For Chinese (non-Anglophone) scholars, there are essentially three choices as far as academic writing is concerned: (1) untranslated publications in Chinese; (2) research communicated in English, although ideas in Chinese have actually undergone some kind of “self-translation” into English; and (3) research in Chinese translated into English by someone who mediates between the original text and the translation. The first category can be termed untranslated writing; the second, translingual writing; and the third, translated writing. Specific reference will be made in this paper to the shifting importance this third category has assumed in Chinese scholarship in the last decade but the main focus will be on the challenges faced by all non-Anglophone humanities scholars in attempting to publish in English.
