Translating feminism in China A historical perspective #郁仲莉
Informed by postcolonial and postmodern thinking, the third wave [...] is more oriented to diversity, multiplicity and even ambiguity in women’s lives. In Europe, this is referred to as new feminism, concerning itself with issues such as trafficking, violence against women, pornography, etc., while theoretically undermining the earlier notion that there can be universal womanhood.
Towards solidarity in translation
It is precisely due to this power to defamiliarize our (half )truths by welcoming difference that translation appears as threatening to the self, when it is imagined and performed in opposition to the other. However, this supposed threat is the very celebratory aspect of translation. It is how translation is created and creates: it lures the self into a vulnerable state of hosting the other and becoming anew with them.
Expanding boundaries of authorship
the politics of speaking and storytelling in transnational contexts, particularly with regard to these questions of representation [...] Indeed, it is Ferrante’s determination to remain unknown that has allowed for a more expansive view of translation as collaboration and co-authorship

Representing others for others
on whose behalf are we speaking/translating? As an activity that is built on processes of mediation and negotiation, in what ways and under which conditions does translation allow agents and communities to speak for themselves? When and how does translation as a representational practice submerge or erase voices, histories, and knowledge?
