Tagore’s Localized Construction and Its Implications for Civilizational Dialogue:
A Review of Tagore and 20th-Century Chinese Literature
Zhao Shuangyue
Abstract: Li Yuejin et al.’s Tagore and 20th-Century Chinese Literature is an academic monograph that systematically examines the reception history of Rabindranath Tagore in China. Grounded in rigorous archival research, this work delves into how Tagore and his writings have been translated, interpreted, and assimilated in China over the past century. The study reveals the dynamic evolution of Tagore’s image in the Chinese context, demonstrating how shifting sociocultural milieus profoundly shaped the reception of foreign cultural figures across different historical periods. Particular attention is paid to the translation history of Tagore’s works. The text analyzes transformations in translation strategies and their role in constructing his perceived identity, while extending this analysis to propose the academic framework of “Localized construction of foreign writers”, a contribution that advances the discipline of comparative literature. Emphasizing Tagore’s significance as a pioneer in cross-civilizational dialogue, the monograph synthesizes poetic insight with scholarly depth. It not only establishes a pivotal paradigm for Tagore studies but also furnishes theoretical insights and intellectual resources for research on transcultural exchange, literary dissemination, and mutual learning among civilizations.
Keywords: Rabindranath Tagore; Civilizational Dialogue; Medio-translatology; Localized Construction of Foreign Writers
