Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Translating Chinese Internet Literature: Global Dissemination and Adaptation provides a systematic examination of how Chinese Internet literature (CIL) is translated, adapted, and disseminated worldwide, offering critical insights into its theoretical frameworks, industrial dynamics, and cross-cultural reception.
Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of the translation processes and challenges specific to CIL, supported by interdisciplinary perspectives from translation studies, media studies, fan studies, cultural studies, and other relevant fields. This volume features in-depth case studies that trace CIL’s global dissemination and unpack the socio-economic factors influencing its international reception. It also includes updated analyses of emerging subgenres and their terminologies, ensuring relevance to contemporary scholarly and industry discussions.
This book will appeal to scholars and students in translation studies, media studies, and cultural studies, as well as industry professionals interested in the globalisation of digital literature. Its interdisciplinary underpinning makes it particularly useful for instructors seeking to incorporate CIL into curricula, while its diverse focuses appeal to researchers analysing cultural production across linguistic, cultural, and medial boundaries. It serves as a key reference for engaging with contemporary Chinese literature and literary translation in digital environments.
