My research interests lie primarily in translation history, particularly the cross-cultural dialogue between Chinese and Western drama traditions. |

My current project focuses on the theatrical activities of the Chinese drama educationist and theorist Yu Shangyuan (1897-1970). Between 1922, when his first article appeared on Beijing Chenbao, and 1927, when he left Beijing for Shanghai, Yu Shangyuan published more than seventy articles on almost all facets of drama, such as dramatic literature, playwriting, stage setting, directing, and acting. My research shows that more than fifty of them were unmarked translations rendered from foreign texts. Therefore, translation played a crucial role in Yu Shangyuan’s knowledge production. By taking the unmarked translations into account, this study seeks to reconstruct Yu Shangyuan’s theatrical activities before 1927. With Yu Shangyuan’s early activities as a case in point, the present study attempts to cast light on the cross-cultural dialogue between Chinese and Western drama in early modern China. |
