Abstract

This article is an in-depth overview of the three-decade evolution in literary translation studies based on cross-cultural considerations from the theo- retical origins of the Cultural Turn to contemporary practice and innovations in the age of the internet and the big data. The article examines interactive operations among power dynamics, cultural differences, and translation strategies. Based on critical examinations and discussions of exemplary theoretical structures and illustrative examples, this study elucidates the distinctive function played by literary translation in creating cultural intersubjectivity and suggests future directions in the field.
