Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
This book centers on how translation is key to understanding the encounter between China and the West from 1839 to 1949. It explores the ambivalence, anxiety, and narcissism that China manifested when facing the foreign other and conceptualizes this intercultural interaction as a gaze.
Drawing on the theories of Sartre, Lacan, and Foucault, the book presents "translation as the gaze" as an analytical framework through which the interplay of knowledge, power, and identity can be examined anew. In the interlocking of gazes between the self and the other, translation emerges not as a neutral medium but as a dynamic, multilayered structure that simultaneously reveals and conceals, mediates, and transforms. By foregrounding the textual doubleness and epistemological fluidity of translation, the book illustrates how modern China negotiated its position in a global order of seeing and being seen. This framework deepens our understanding of China’s modernity and dialogic formation through translation and offers a critical perspective for studying transcultural encounters beyond the Sino-Western context. It illuminates the broader history of exchanges between civilizations.
The book will appeal to scholars and students of translation studies, Asian studies, and comparative literature.
Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
