Exploring Approaches to Cultural Translation and Dissemination Studies Review of the"Symposium on the Translation and Dissemination of Chinese Culture"
In China there is a recent surge in studies on the translation and dissemination of Chinese culture for international audiences though such studies need be strengthened and boosted.This article aims to review the major papers presented at a national symposium recently held in Hangzhou,through which the latest de-velopments and some research problems in the field are identified and analyzed.These papers focus on the critical issues of theoretical construction,the translation and dissemination of Chinese classics and literary works,audience reception,etc.Meanwhile,three research orientation problems are identified:the focus is often more on translation than on dissemination;the outcome of dissemination is valorized more than the process of dissemination;the effects of dissemination are often discussed without solid reception studies.Then it proceeds to discuss the potentials of three main approaches for doing research in the field,observing that so-ciological and communication studies approaches still have a big room for extension and improvement while a combined approach is likely to bring about breakthroughs.
