What is lost in translation may be a war, a world, a way of life. A unique look into the nineteenth-century clash of empires from both sides of the earthshaking encounter, this book reveals the connections between international law, modern warfare, and comparative grammar--and their influence on the shaping of the modern world in Eastern and Western terms.
The Clash of Empires brings to light the cultural legacy of sovereign thinking that emerged in the course of the violent meetings between the British Empire and the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Lydia Liu demonstrates how the collision of imperial will and competing interests, rather than the civilizational attributes of existing nations and cultures, led to the invention of "China," "the East," "the West," and the modern notion of "the world" in recent history. Drawing on her archival research and comparative analyses of English--and Chinese--language texts, as well as their respective translations, she explores how the rhetoric of barbarity and civilization, friend and enemy, and discourses on sovereign rights, injury, and dignity were a central part of British imperial warfare. Exposing the military and philological--and almost always translingual--nature of the clash of empires, this book provides a startlingly new interpretation of modern imperial history.
Lydia H. Liu is Helmut F. Stern Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan.
第二章和第三章关于yi在中英条约的探讨很不错,但后面的章节略散乱,没有很好地展开argument,更多的是事实的罗列~

在中国古代文书典籍中,华夷这个词具有丰富的含义。我对此做了一定的总结,如下: 1. 政治地理概念。出自《周礼》职方氏,王畿之外分九服,夷服去王国七千里。华的含义就是中央行政区。这不单单是简单的地理概念,而是政治地理概念。华就是中央政权所在地。中国古代按照...
评分越来越觉得,美国学者弗雷德里克•詹姆逊提出的“政治无意识”是个非常重要的概念,意识形态和政治观念的阴影总是深深渗透在文本与叙述当中,防不胜防。而一个学者的锐利就体现在这样的时刻:将那些难以察觉的政治欲望从文本的深井中打捞出来,这些打捞物宛如危险边缘的警戒...
评分中国近代史研究之所以是一门显学,那是由于古老的中国文明与西方文明首次碰撞的结果,古与今,新与旧,传统与现代,进步与落后,世界史上两个文明遭遇之后的所有可能性都在这里汇聚,自然能吸引众多研究者的兴趣。但稍微了解一下近些年近代史研究方面的著作就会发现,尽管近代...
评分刘禾在她的上一本中文著作《跨语际实践》中批判了翻译行为所预设的等值性,把以往被人们当作中介的翻译提高到更重要的地位上来讨论。有书评反驳说中国的跨文化交流早就有了,刘禾虚张声势;与现代西方思想对汉语的影响相比,古代佛经对汉语的影响可能更大。 但是,这个批评恰恰...
