Biography
Zhongli Yu is Assistant Professor of Translation Studies at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC).
Altogether, Translating Feminism in China: Gender, sexuality and censorship offers a vast panorama of the position of translation, sexuality and feminism in China today, thus opening up a much-needed debate on these topics. And, more importantly perhaps, it places Chinese growing research alongside the research carried out in other places of the world, thus filling a rather large gap in translation (and sexuality) studies. Translating sexuality (women’s body, homosexuality, lesbianism) is a clearly political act, with important rhetorical and ideological implications, which always poses social, historical and ethical dilemmas to translators and readers alike.
