"Zhang has produced a lucid study of intersemiotic translation, carefully reviewing its assumptions and testing them through a closer analysis of some of Ang Lee's canonical films. Everyone interested in translation and cultural theory is bound to find something new and intriguing in this book." - Galin Tihanov, George Steiner Professor of Comparative Literature, Queen Mary University of London
"With meticulous attention to filmic details, Haoxuan Zhangs methodologically sophisticated account juxtaposes the conceptual model of intersemiotic translation and Ang Lees internationally acclaimed works to produce a new kind of cinematic objecta dynamic assemblage of representational patterns and techniques, understood in a broad, intercultural sense. This impressively nuanced study should be of interest to all those concerned with sign systems, text, film, Chinese fine arts, and intermediality." - Rey Chow, Andrew W. Mellon Distinguished Professor of the Humanities, Duke University
