Translation/re-CreationSouthwest Chinese Naxi Manuscripts in the West\nAuthor(s): Duncan Poupard\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032136240, 978-1032136240\nSynopsis\nThis book is a study of European-language translations of Naxi ritual manuscripts, the ritual literature of a small ethnic group living in southwest Chinas Yunnan Province. \n\nThe author discusses the translations into European languages (in English, French and German) from the late nineteenth century to the second half of the twentieth century, revealing a history of fragmentary yet interconnected translation efforts in the West. By exploring this network, he shows how translation can be understood as a metonymic recreation of textual worlds. As Naxi manuscripts are semi-oral texts representing an oral-formulaic tradition, their translation involves a metonymic relay of partial incorporations from manuscript/image to reading/spoken language.
