Without any knowledge of the source languages, the authors crafted their own French and Spanish retellings based on received translations of these Asian works. \u003ci\u003eRewriting the Orient\u003c\/i\u003e not only explores the so far untapped translation-rewriting continuum to trace the pivotal role of Orientalism in the formation of a singular corpus of world literature that goes beyond the Anglophone canon, but also sheds light on a wide range of innovative discursive strategies that readily challenge traditional notions of cultural appropriation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yunfei Bai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unc Department of Romance Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469677712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYunfei Bai is Assistant Professor of Translation Studies at Lingnan University.
