Locative Tourism Applications A Sensory Ethnography of the Augmented City

Locative Tourism Applications A Sensory Ethnography of the Augmented City

Travel through time. Walk the streets as they were. See through floors. Hunt for ghosts (with drink in hand). Hear the walls speak. These are just a few of the ways that locative tourism applications seek to augment the urban experience. This book explores the universe of locative tourism applications. It uses multi-sited sensory ethnography with diverse apps in 12 cities around the world to interrogate how these applications layer (often branded) maps of meaning over the urban environment and exposes what their use – at the embodied intersection of physical and digital space – can tell us about the production of cityscapes for touristic consumption. Locative Tourism Applications takes a journey in three parts to evaluate how these “extensions of the senses” mediate users’ experience of urban locales. The first offers the reader some theoretical and methodological orientation the second takes them on a whirlwind tour of locative apps and the third settles in for an extended exploration of two destinations: Montreal and Christchurch. With broad cross-disciplinary appeal this volume will be of interest to scholars from tourism studies cultural geography urban studies new media studies and sensory studies and will be particularly valuable for sensory ethnographers examining mobile and location-aware media. | Locative Tourism Applications A Sensory Ethnography of the Augmented City

Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation

Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation

This book examines many facets of transcultural poetics in the English translation of Chinese literature from 12 different expert contributors. Translating Chinese literature into English is a special challenge. There is a pressing need to overcome a slew of obstacles to the understanding and appreciation of Chinese literary works by readers in the English-speaking world. Hitherto only intermittent attempts have been made to theorize and explore the exact role of the translator as a cultural and aesthetic mediator informed by cross-cultural knowledge awareness and sensitivity. Given the complexity of literary translation sophisticated poetics of translation in terms of literary value and aesthetic taste needs to be developed and elaborated more fully from a cross-cultural perspective. It is therefore necessary to examine attempts to reconcile the desire for authentic transmission of Chinese culture with the need for cultural mediation and appropriation in terms of the production and reception of texts subject to the multiplicity of constraints in order to shed new light on the longstanding conundrum of Chinese-English literary translation by addressing Chinese literature in the multiple contexts of nationalism cross-cultural hybridity literary untranslatability the reception of translation and also world literature. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of translation studies Chinese literature and East Asian studies. | Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation
