This essay examines the anthologies and collections of English translations of Taiwanese literature published from the 1960s to the time of writing, aiming to contexualize these translations and to map how English translation positions Taiwanese literature in the system of world literature and thereby creates its image. The author focuses on individual texts and, with reference to Huang Chunming's short stories in these anthologies, in order to show how the approach to translation (e.g. importation or exportation) influences the strategies employed by the translators.
