Drawing on the abundant archival materials and insights afforded by Timothy Billings’ 2019 edition of Pound's Cathay, this article examines Pound's methods of reworking the intermediary notebooks of Fenollosa and reconstructs the multiple processes of mediation in the making of the collection. It proposes a more capacious and versatile framework than is usual for exploring the complexities of transcultural rewriting, and advances a more nuanced treatment of commonly employed categories in Translation Studies such as ‘domesticating’ and ‘foreignizing’. Two analytical concepts are developed: transcultural imitation, which describes the sources and techniques with which Pound signals a certain form of ‘Chineseness’ and mediates the experience of the foreign; and second the palimpsest of translation, which delineates the multilayered richness and prismatic pluralities of Cathay by unpacking the diverse sets of intertexts out of which it is woven. Pound, it is argued, reconstitutes ideas of China's foreignness, endowing Chinese poetry with new transcultural significance.

The appreciation of Zen Buddhism in the mid-twentieth century led to a new exploration and tradition of Zen poetry translation. Many translators influenced by the American ‘Zen Boom’ were drawn to Chinese Zen poems during this time. However, translating Zen poetry is a complex art, and often shaped by the translator's personal experiences and qualities. Diverse perspectives exist on what constitutes Zen poetry, and selections for Zen anthologies hinge on the editor's perception. This paper centres on Sam Hamill's work in The Poetry of Zen, 2004, examining his selection and interpretation of classical Chinese Zen poems. It highlights the intricate relationship between translated texts, their cultural and historical contexts, and the translator, while elucidating how the Zen interpretation of classical Chinese poetry contributed to the establishment of the tradition of Zen poetry translation.
二十世纪中叶对禅宗的推崇带动了禅诗翻译的新探索和新传统。受美国 "禅宗热 "的影响，许多译者在这一时期被中国禅诗所吸引。然而，翻译禅诗是一门复杂的艺术，往往受译者个人经历和素质的影响。对于什么是禅诗，存在着不同的观点，而禅诗选集的选题则取决于编辑的看法。本文以山姆-哈米尔（Sam Hamill）在 2004 年出版的《禅诗》（The Poetry of Zen）中的作品为中心，探讨了他对中国古典禅诗的选择和诠释。它强调了翻译文本、其文化和历史背景以及译者之间错综复杂的关系，同时阐明了禅宗对中国古典诗歌的诠释如何促进了禅诗翻译传统的建立。

This discussion addresses selected English versions of the late Latin poem the Pervigilium Veneris from the seventeenth century to the twentieth. Most translations, these versions show, construct the poem in accordance with their own era's tastes and assumptions, but this predictable outcome is not the only one possible. Creative translations are different: they seem to show not (or not only) how the work was once seen, but what it still is, or can be. Thus translations are able, in special cases, to do much more than provide evidence about how a cultural artifact of the past has been constructed over time – the usual starting point in reception study. In this instance the early translations by Thomas Stanley (1647) and Thomas Parnell (1722), rather than any of those which have proliferated since the nineteenth century, belong in this special category.

This essay addresses a work that might fruitfully be approached as an international (auto)biography, the life narrative of Lili Elbe (published 1931), a major work in the history of gender variance. Using the versions of the narrative in a range of languages in the recently constructed, free-to-view Lili Elbe Digital Archive, this essay considers the many modalities of translation and transgression which comprise any effort to transition across linguistic, cultural, corporeal, epistemic, and generic boundaries. A concern with how bodies of knowledge as well as corporeal bodies are codified and circulated is fundamental not just to Translation Studies but to transgender studies and to the digital humanities as well, making these fields integral to any theoretical understanding of translation as such. It is argued not just that transgender should be understood as a mode of translation, but that translating transgender across languages, historical eras, and media provides an exemplary instance of, and a model for, the broader field of Translation Studies.

Columbiads, epic poems written in a range of European languages (French, English, German) between 1753 and 1798 and dealing with the encounter between Columbus and native American peoples, address in a variety of ways the linguistic barriers it threw up. Often, interest in the languages of the indigenous peoples goes hand in hand with respect for their cultures. Whereas some authors minimize the language gap in order to promote an imperialist or missionary agenda, in others it is foregrounded as a manifestation of cultural alterity. The figure of a translator is introduced to personify the desire to venture into a linguistically and culturally different world, and its danger. One example, the Columbona of the Swiss-German author Johann Jacob Bodmer, 1753, goes so far as to depict European sailors and native Americans engaging together in the adventure of language learning in order to share each other’s knowledge and view of life.
《哥伦布》是1753年至1798年间用多种欧洲语言（法语、英语、德语）创作的史诗，讲述了哥伦布与美洲原住民之间的相遇，以各种方式解决了它所带来的语言障碍。对土著人民语言的兴趣往往与对其文化的尊重密不可分。一些作者为了促进帝国主义或传教士的议程而尽量缩小语言差距，而另一些作者则认为这是文化冲突的表现。译者的形象被引入是为了将冒险进入一个语言和文化不同的世界的愿望及其危险人格化。例如，瑞士-德国作家约翰·雅各布·博德默（Johann Jacob Bodmer）1753年的《哥伦布号》（Columbona），甚至描绘了欧洲水手和美洲原住民一起参与语言学习的冒险，以分享彼此的知识和生活观。
