Highlighting the interconnections between Southeast Asia and the world through literature, this book calls for a different reading approach to the literatures of Southeast Asia by using translation as the main conceptual framework in the analyses and interpretation of the texts, languages, and cultures of the following countries: Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam, and the Philippines.
Through the theme of "translational politics," the contributors critically examine not only the linguistic properties but also the metaphoric, symbolic, and semiotic meanings, images, and representations that have been translated across societies and cultures through local and global consumption and circulation of literature, (new) media, and other cultural forms. Using translation to unlock and decode multiple, different languages, narratives, histories, and worldviews emerging from Southeast Asian geo-literary contexts, this book builds on current scholarship and offers new approaches to the contestations of race, gender, and sexuality in literature, which often involve the politically charged discourses of identity, language, and representation.
At the same time, this book provides new perspectives and future directions in the study of Southeast Asian literatures. Exploring a range of literary and cultural products, including written texts, performance, and cinema, this volume will be a key resource for students and researchers interested in translation and cultural studies, comparative and world literature, and Southeast Asian studies.

This book presents Southeast Asian scholars writing full throttle about Southeast Asian literature and cinema-crossing languages, crossing borders, crossing the boundaries of conventional sexualities and racial politics. Hold on tight. The future of Southeast Asian literary studies has arrived. Harry Aveling, Translation Studies, Monash University
This important collection builds upon the discipline of comparative culture studies in Southeast Asia by exploring contestations of race, gender, and sexuality through the lens of "translational politics." The objects under view are the region's nationally based or globally shared filmic and literary texts. This lens also reveals the imbrication of both the contradictions and homogeneity, which late neoliberal globalization has fostered throughout the region, with its seductive mediascapes and commodity culture often disruptive of pre-existing norms. This disruption includes the private and public contestations over definitions and shifting values associated with legalized entitlements attributed to race, gender, and sexuality. It is this disrupted positionality, an experience shared by many South East Asians, that is explored in this noteworthy collection of essays through the lens of translational politics.
