Starting from the identity crisis in cultural globalization known as “Jihad vs. McWorld” by Benjamin Barber, this paper draws inspirations from Annie Brisset's observation of the “deficient” target language in translation and Edward Said’s criticism on “Orientalism”. It then challenges Jacques Derrida’s “Différance” and points to a new view of cultural identity of negotiable differences, offering a philosophical solution to the global identity crisis.

In this talk, Dr Cynthia Tsui will reveal that "translation" can be used as a thinking method that sheds light on other disciplines. This talk substantiates "the translation turn in cultural studies" proposed by Susan Bassnett, showing the strength of the concept and theories of "translation" in interdisciplinary research. "Translation" will be brought to a new horizon that is built upon but extended beyond what we conventionally thought about "translation".
