La place de la littérature chinoise et le rôle de la traduction à l’époque de la globalisation. Un regard aux théories chinoises courantes.

The book in its three sections presents and compares a range of different phenomena of transculturation and globalisation in the field of modern and contemporary Chinese literature and its relation to Western and world literature. The first section is devoted to the theories and methodology of comparative literature and translation, and their multifold role in facing the new wave of "world literature". In the second section, Chinese literary texts and genres (from poetry to sci-fi and web literature) are scrutinised through the analysis of some case studies. The third and last section explores the interplay between Chinese and European literature, taking into account the reception and translation of some literary works in China as well as in Italy and France
