讲座内容简介：
Academicresearch is always circumscribed by language, and in the humanities— inparticular, history, literature and philosophy—one wonders how such a thing asuniversal knowledge can be transmitted beyond language. How does a world in whichEnglish is the academic lingua franca impact the humanities scholar? It hasbeen pointed out that even science is far from the universal, neutral discoursethat it is often assumed to be. How much more so it is for the humanities,which deal with more context-restricted and “personal” issues. While almost allforms of knowledge must be transmitted through language, the importance of thelinguistic medium, written as well as spoken, is understandably more of aconcern for the humanities. How does the humanities scholar survive in a worldin which the prevalent and accepted academic language is English, and not one’smother tongue? And how does translation enter this picture?
Given thelinguistic options open to non-Anglophone scholars, there are essentially threecategories of academic writings in “translational” terms: (1) untranslatedpublications in languages other than English, to which Anglophones can have noaccess; (2) research translated into English by someone who serves as amediator between the original text and the readers of the translation; and (3)research communicated in English, although the primary materials in anotherlanguage have actually undergone some kind of translation by the authorconcerned. In terms of volume, the first category is produced by those whorefuse to translate, preferring the indigenous to the universal. The second isby nature collaborative, with a monolingual author being helped by a bilingualtranslator. The third involves a bilingual author who also plays the role of a“self-translator,” who has emerged prominently in today’s academia. Specificreference will be made in this paper to the shifting importance this thirdcategory has assumed in Chinese scholarship in the last decade but the mainfocus will be on the challenges faced by all non-Anglophone humanities scholarsin attempting to publish in English.
