Medio-translatology : concepts and applications

This book introduces the theory of Medio-translatology.

Proposed by Professor Tianzhen Xie, Medio-translatology combines comparative literature with translation studies.

It has been influential in Chinese Translation Studies since its emergence in the 1990s and has since generated a myriad of heated discussions and productive applications of the theory in the analysis of translation both as an activity and a product.

With ten chapters authored by leading scholars in this area,  this book explicates the development and the main theoretical tenets of Medio-translatology in the first part and demonstrates the application of the theory with a number of case analysis of translations by different translators in the second part.

As the first and only edited book on Medio-translatology written in English, this volume will also provide a useful window on contemporary translation studies in China.
