讲座摘要：

More than ten English translations of Jin Ping Mei appeared in the 20th century, but most of them were abridged translations or adaptations, in which the original storyline was truncated while the sexual descriptions were highlighted or even magnified through exaggerated rewriting, resulting in the de-canonization of Jin Ping Mei in the West. In his seminar, the speaker re-examines the translational history of Jin Ping Mei by situating the phenomenon in the Anglo-American socio-cultural context of the 20th century, literary censorship in particular. Through initial analysis of the translated texts from the perspectives of Orientalism, the publishing ecosystem, and the politics of reading, the seminar uncovers the process and mechanism of commodification, vulgarization and politicization of Jin Ping Mei in the Anglophone world. In addition to articulating the paradoxical inter-dependence of literary censorship and the commodification of pornography, the seminar also unravels the reading landscape as a product, and mirror, of the socio-economic and political contexts, touching upon the topics of democracy of reading, the creative power of repressive literary censorship, and the resulting de-canonization and victimization of literary classics.
