When George Steiner’s After Babel: Aspects of Language and Translation was published in 1975, the excitement and controversy generated by this book in the West were naturally unknown in China since the country was still in the thrall of the Cultural Revolution. Nevertheless, the subsequent journey of After Babel to China seems to be unimpeded, though apparently belated, which is understandable, given the fact that the Chinese Cultural Revolution only came to an end in late 1976, prior to which the conditions for accepting such Western theoretical works did not exist. This paper will present a succinct trajectory of the reception of After Babel by reviewing how some of the key concepts of Steiner’s hermeneutic theory were and are perceived and adapted to the Chinese environment. The travel of Steiner’s theory to China will be briefly sketched, followed by accounts of different interpretations of Steiner’s chapter “The Hermeneutic Motion” and a discussion of the various attempts to supplement and expand it in a critical light. Some specific examples concerning English-Chinese and Chinese-English translations are discussed in order to illuminate the relevance and applicability of the theoretical concepts contained in After Babel for addressing some of the fundamental issues pertaining to translation.

The present article aims to draw attention to the fact that George Steiner, in After Babel, a book now more than forty-five years old, makes statements that are still valid today not only with regard to translation in the narrow sense (translation proper), but also concerning the genesis and intercultural transfer of non-verbal or polysemiotic artifacts. In contrast to what has been done so far, Steiner can be considered a pioneer of a comprehensive semiotics of translation, along with Roman Jakobson and others. The following remarks pursue this idea primarily on the basis of Steiner’s sixth chapter, entitled “Topologies of Culture”, and show that there are still points there that can be taken up today and in the future.
