Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese (JMLC)

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese (JMLC) was founded in 1997 and published twice a year. It has been edited by the Centre for Humanities Research (formally the Centre for Literature and Translation), Lingnan University, Hong Kong. Starting from Volume 6, Issue 1 published in 2005, a notable new feature was added to encompass the approach of comparative literature. The journal has also invited scholars to guest-edit issues focusing on special topics and occasionally selected papers from conferences, so as to bring more dimensions and perspectives into the field of modern and contemporary literature in Chinese. To write and publish in English will deepen cross-cultural, interdisciplinary exchanges, and can also pitch the journal to a wider international audience. The globalizing and globalized world needs to be better informed about China and to understand its cultural articulations in manifold forms and variations. JMLC insisted on the necessity to foster a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary and comparative perspective on and approach to modern literature in Chinese in its broad sense. Any aspects of Chinese culture were within the scope of investigation. The journal provided a forum to communicate research and to address matters of scholarly importance and of interest to a broader audience. The fact that JMLC was devoted to publishing articles in English on modern and contemporary literature in Chinese implies translation of some kind. Translation had been intimately linked with modern Chinese literature, which, as a part of world literature, was constituted by plurality. Modern literature in Chinese had ramified into different branches and to represent the quintessence of modern Chinese culture in various forms requires cultural translation.
