Reviews
“This impressive volume expands the metaphor of translation to encompass a broad spread of transcultural negotiations, thereby opening new possibilities for approaching the language and practices of East Asian modernities. The volume presents exemplary models for demonstrating the historicity of how concepts travel and become caught up within localized sign systems.”—Ann Anagnost, author of National Past-Times: Narrative, Representation, and Power in Modern China
“This volume brilliantly translates ‘translation’ by theorizing it and demonstrating the contingency, historicity and political inflections of the practices that have constituted it. Specific attention to a series of examples from China and the diverse encounters with European knowledges show that the Universal is always particular.”—Paul Rabinow, University of California, Berkeley
