Features: In a globalized era where "culture" is all-encompassing and pervasive, translation is even more difficult to escape the shadow of "culture." Translation studies are no longer merely a traditional academic concept but have taken on more interdisciplinary characteristics. Perhaps this is why we emphasize that translation studies should be an independent discipline rather than just a marginal one in the age of globalization. In today's Western theoretical criticism, facing the rampant misuse of the concept of culture, some cultural critics originally engaged in literary studies drew inspiration from the practices of figures like Bakhtin and proposed expanding the scope of literary studies to the context of culture, paving the way for literary studies, which are increasingly confined to a narrow territory, to break free from crisis.
