Wendy Woodward and Erika Lemma (2014, 1) pertinently noted almost a decade ago that “the terms Animal Studies (AS) and Human-Animal Studies (HAS) have been used almost interchangeably in this fairly recent, burgeoning field”; however, the literary trajectory is a much longer one. For South Africans it was possibly Nobel Laureate J. M. Coetzee’s Lives of Animals (1999)—soon incorporated into his Elizabeth Costello (2003)—that drew attention at the turn of the millennium to the symbiosis of humans and animals, thus arguably re-igniting the literary legacy of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland (1907), Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book (1894), and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s even earlier epic poem The Song of Hiawatha (1855). In 2009, perhaps transposing Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s famed rationalist adage, “Je pense donc je suis” (I think, therefore I am), Jacques Derrida intrigued with The Animal That Therefore I Am, compacting the roots of the eco-phenomenological tree. Soon, the blooming tree became a home for storytellers, poets, and philosophers, providing literary critics, such as those featured in this issue, with an ontopoietic imaginary—that is, a heightened awareness of the oneness of the animal kingdom on Planet Earth.
Wendy Woodward和Erika Lemma(2014, 1)早在十年前就指出，“动物研究(AS)和人-动物研究(HAS)这两个术语在这个新兴的新兴领域几乎可以互换使用”;然而，文学的轨迹要长得多。对于南非人来说，可能是诺贝尔奖得主j·m·库切的《动物的生活》(1999年)——很快被纳入他的《伊丽莎白·科斯特洛》(2003年)——在世纪之交引起了人们对人与动物共生关系的关注，从而可以说是重新点燃了刘易斯·卡罗尔的《爱丽丝梦游仙境》(1907年)、拉德亚德·吉卜林的《丛林之书》(1894年)和亨利·沃兹沃思·朗费罗更早的史诗《海瓦塔之歌》(1855年)的文学遗产。2009年，也许是对让-雅克·卢梭著名的理性主义格言“我思故我在”(Je pense donc Je suis)的改编，雅克·德里达(Jacques Derrida)对《动物故我在》(The Animal That so I am)产生了兴趣，把生态现象学之树的根压缩了起来。很快，这棵盛开的树成为了讲故事的人、诗人和哲学家的家园，为文学评论家提供了一种拟态的想象，比如本期的特写，也就是说，一种对地球上动物王国一体性的高度认识。

Fatima Meer: Choosing to Be Defiant, by Rajendra Chetty, is a visual narrative of the life of author, sociologist, artist, political prisoner, and human rights campaigner Fatima Meer. A passionate South African who fought her entire life for the equality and dignity of all South Africans, Meer was the very definition of the no-nonsense freedom fighter for whom the struggle for human rights never ended. In Chetty, her story has a meticulous follower and Choosing to Be Defiant is a valuable contribution to the literature dedicated to those who fought for a democratic South Africa. Like Meer herself, Chetty is both an involved academic and an authentic critic, shedding light on different ways Meer proved to be defiant, both indefatigably and controversially. The book reveals a sober understanding of a complex life and avoids the pitfalls of hero worship, something Meer herself rejected and made a point of circumventing.

Abstract The present survey is part of a project on southern African literary landscapes and translation. In this context, Alan Paton’s novel Cry, the Beloved Country (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1948) is emblematic of a new eco-critical consciousness, juxtaposed with the devastation of space by the dynamics of colonialism and the enforcement of the apartheid regime from 1948 to the early 1990s. Topophilia, common among other South African authors, is more than a simple literary theme for Paton; rather, it lies at the core of his spirituality and his resistance against apartheid. Likewise, the biblical symbolism and linguistic features inspiring descriptions in Paton’s work enhance textual cohesion and relevance, while also representing a challenge for translation in the context of different African languages. Following a diachronic perspective, this article examines intralingual, interlingual, and intersemiotic translations, focusing on landscape, language, and identity. One intralingual abridgement, multiple interlingual translations into European languages (Italian, French, Spanish), and two intersemiotic translations (in the form of screen adaptations of the novel) are comparatively analysed. The approach relies on studies of literary description, intersemiotic translation, and multimodality.
