Aims and scope

Asia Pacific Translation and Intercultural Studies ( APTIS) intends to provide a transnational platform for Asia Pacific scholars to present their researches in translation studies and to forge closer ties with scholars in the other parts of the world. It aims to enhance academic investigations and further the exchanges of translation and cultural studies among global theoreticians and practitioners. It seeks to offer great opportunities for the exports of the achievements of translation studies and cultures of this region, and eventually promote the exchanges between western and eastern cultures.

The journal lays a unique emphasis on its aim to present an authentic and original overview on translation and intercultural studies in Asia Pacific region. It will cover a broad spectrum of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences: literature, linguistics, history, art, media and communications, cultural studies, political science, international relations, sociology and anthropology as long as the focus of discussion is on translation and culture. APTIS accepts original research papers; case studies; book reviews; English translations of short stories, autobiographies, poems, and plays from authors within and outside Asia Pacific. Scholarly objectivity and originality are of utmost importance.
