In the context of increased movement across borders, this book examines how key cultural texts and concepts are transferred between nations and languages as well as across different media. The texts examined in this book are considered fundamental to their source culture and can also take on a particular relevance to other (target) cultures. The chapters investigate cultural transfers and differences realised through translation and reflect critically upon the implications of these with regard to matters of cultural identity. The book offers an important contribution to cultural approaches in translation studies, with ramifications across different disciplines, including literary studies, history, philosophy, and gender studies. The chapters offer a range of cultural and methodological frameworks and are written by scholars from a variety of language and cultural backgrounds, Western and Eastern.

Table of Contents
“With innovative studies by scholars from various language and cultural backgrounds, this book is a well-edited and thought-provoking volume on key cultural texts and concepts in translation. It represents a diverse range of studies on cultural transfers through translation, and will be beneficial to translation scholars and students who have interest in conducting further research in this aspect.”
“The book is a welcome contribution to the topic of KCT in translation studies. By scrutinizing translations of KCTs from a multidisciplinary perspective based on case studies and critical reflections in broad cultural and historical contexts, the book is a valuable resource and should appeal to anyone with an interest in translation studies and cultural diversity who is seeking deeper insights into these areas.”
