This is a course in Chinese-English literary translation, i.e., the translation of literature in Chinese into English or in English into Chinese. Our main concern is the translation of style in fiction. Style is a fundamental challenge for translators, but a challenge complicated by power inequalities in a world dominated by English, at a time when world literature seems to mean literature in English or translated into English. Scholars have found that translations tend to be stylistically normalized or adapted to fit audience expectations. The stylistic heterogeneity of individual works may be normalized, or the distinctive difference of an entire work. In certain cases the normalization process begins before the translator gets involved: writers may normalize their own texts in the hope of getting translated. The process may even begin before the writer begins writing, in that English has had an impact on Chinese, not just lexically but also syntactically. Some scholars, dissatisfied with the status quo, advocate the translation of experimental, 'resistant' texts in ways that challenge the audience. Letting David Lodge, Edward Gunn and Tim Parks serve as our guides, we will explore and play different places in the field. We will start with genre fiction, which is typically not stylistically experimental in the first place, and move on to more literary authors.
