A Study of Transknowletology in the Past Five Years

Abstract

Transknowletology has garnered significant academic attention in recent years as an emerging subfield in translation studies. It redefines the essence of translation as a cross-linguistic process of knowledge reproduction, transcending the limitations of traditional language-transfer paradigms. The tripartite framework of “knowledge-language-translator” and the methodological principle of “truth, goodness, and beauty” proposed by Transknowletology offer a novel analytical framework for translation research. Through empirical analysis of applied and comparative studies, it is found that successful knowledge transfer requires a balance among conceptual fidelity, cultural adaptation, and aesthetic representation, thereby establishing a dynamic equilibrium between the knowledge systems of the source and target languages. Against the backdrop of rapid advancements in AI technology, Transknowletology contributes to constructing a translation theory discourse with Chinese characteristics and provides a new analytical framework for understanding cross-cultural knowledge dissemination, holding profound significance for facilitating mutual learning among civilizations.
