In this groundbreaking and pioneering work, Yu takes on the increasingly influential phenomenon of collaborative translation, with a special focus on China. Through the unique lens of an ethnographer, she delves into the intricate dynamics of citizen translators as they collaborate in selecting, translating, editing, and polishing translations. Her particular area of interest lies in the vibrant and distinctive world of the Chinese internet, where the digital media ecology is infused with Chinese characteristics.
Through her extensive longitudinal digital ethnographic fieldwork in platforms like Yeeyan, Cenci, and other online translation spaces where source materials often originate from outside China, Yu unravels valuable insights for the diverse actors within the collaborative translation realm. Her attention is drawn to their communities, working practices, and identities, as nothing is as it seems. Moreover, Yu theorizes the relationships between these actors, their work, and their workplaces, offering a rich and insightful perspective into the often-hidden world of collaborative translation in China.
Furthermore, Yu's work extends beyond China, providing a comprehensive landscape of collaborative translation in practice, training, and theory across geographic contexts. This volume holds particular appeal to scholars and postgraduate students in translation studies and digital media.
