My doctoral thesis explores the autonomy in the concept of "translation" through a theoretical inspection, drawing resources from translation studies and cultural studies. The outcome suggests that 'translation' is an agent independent of the 'source' and 'target' languages, cultures and texts.
It is an inter-disciplinary project that communicates the theoretical spheres between translation studies and cultural studies. It is also an inter-regional case study that brings the eastern postcolonial model of Hong Kong to the global platform of postcolonialism.
In general, my research focuses on the discipline of “Translation Studies” that puts western theories and eastern case studies together into a comparative, transcultural and interdisciplinary approach in humanistic studies. My teaching centres on literature, multi-media texts, translation and cultures, promoting “translation” from the wider perspective as a “trans-disciplinary” thinking methodology.
