Tokens of Exchange: The Problem of Translation in Global Circulations Paperback - 2000

by Lydia H. Liu (Editor)


First line

By adopting certain naive presuppositions, studies of the asserted problems encountered in translations across languages have often reached dramatic conclusions about the fundamental differences between civilizations.

From the rear cover

"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
