Reviews
“Due to the book’s innovative multidimensional and multilingual approach, together with its insightful contribution to ongoing debates about actor-network theory (ANT) and gender issues, it can be recommended for scholars working not only in Translation Studies, but also in interdisciplinary studies on culture and society in general.” (Ekaterina Grineva, Connections, January 29, 2021)
“This book is quite valuable for readers interested in world literature, translation, cultural history, or cultural transfer to unravel extensive cultural movements across languages by mediators of multiple roles in peripheral cultures in discursive and nondiscursive modes.” (Jianwei Zheng and Wenjun Fan, International Journalof Communication, Vol. 14, 2020)
