Table of ContentsReviewsThis reading exemplifies the most admirable characteristics of Nappi's book: its richness, interdisciplinarity, and postmodern spirit. Translating Early Modern China is not a strictly academic book that only scholars could read and appreciate. * Elisa Frei, Catholic Theology and Church History, Goethe-Universitat Frankfurtam Main, Comitatus * This book highlights the strategic linguistic tactics Chinese rulers continue to employ to control a nation of diverse religions and cultures. Unique but difficult to categorize, this book is a welcome addition to scholarship on not only Chinese history but also the art of linguistics and translation theory. * K. Liu, CHOICE * Author InformationCarla Nappi is a historical pataphysician whose research tends to focus on Chinese and Manchu texts in early modernity, and who holds the Andrew W. Mellon Chair in History at the University of Pittsburgh. From undergraduate training in paleobiology, Professor Nappi pursued an M.A. in History of Science and then a Ph.D. in Chinese history. Her first book, The Monkey and the Inkpot: Natural History and its Transformations in Early Modern China (Harvard, 2009), looked at problems of evidence and belief in Chinese natural history. Her two most recent books Metagestures (with Dominic Pettman, Punctum, 2019) and Uninvited (with Carrie Jenkins, McGill-Queens University Press, 2020) reflect a growing emphasis on collaborative work and on integrating short fiction and poetry into her practice. Her current work is preoccupied with insomniac temporality; with the relationship between DJ'ing, history, and translation; and with housekeeping as a magical practice.
