Summary
Chapter 11 offers historical reflections on the role that translation has played in comparative literature as a discipline in Europe and in East Asia. It examines current scholarship to cast light on the relationship between translation and comparative literature and the polemics that this relationship has sparked. It argues for a diversified view of translation and comparative literature that acknowledges not one but many conceptualizations of their interrelations.
