Biography
Douglas Robinson is Chair Professor of English at Hong Kong Baptist University, and most recently authored Critical Translation Studies (Routledge).
"Translationality works extremely well as an energizing and coalescing piece at the junction between translation, medicine, literature and philosophy. Futhermore, it ends on a brilliantly, annoyingly tantalizing note, which only leaves one wanting more." -- Romen Reyes-Peschl, University of Kent
