In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many people saw the West as a model for modernization and hence modernization in East Asia was more often than not taken as a process of learning from or even imitating the West. In this process, translation played a crucial role, when efforts were made to import Western ideas, knowledge, concepts, and practices. The papers in this volume study and explain the various translation phenomena in the modernization processes of China, Korea, and Japan Notes "The present volume is a collection of selected papers of the international conference on "Translation and Modernization in East Asia in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries," organized by the Research Centre for Translation (RCT), The Chinese University of Hong Kong on 29-31 May 2013"--Page [ix] Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record Subject Social change -- East Asia -- Congresses Translating and interpreting -- Social aspects -- East Asia -- 20th century -- Congresses Translating and interpreting -- Social aspects -- East Asia -- 19th century -- Congresses Translating and interpreting -- Social aspects -- East Asia -- Congresses Social change Translating and interpreting -- Social aspects East Asia Genre/Form Conference papers and proceedings Form Electronic book Author Wong, Lawrence Wang-chi, author Chinese University of Hong Kong.
