Translating Polish Fantasy – translational challenges and problems concerning culture‑rooted elements
2015
Tłumacząc polską fantasy – wyzwania i problemy tłumaczeniowe związane z elementami kulturowymi
 Niniejszy artykuł porusza kwestię trudności i problemów, które może napotkać tłumacz podczas przekładu polskich powieści z gatunku fantasy na język angielski. Zwrócono szczególną uwagę na charakterystykę i specyfikę gatunku oraz jego historię w polskiej tradycji literackiej. Druga część artykułu została poświęcona możliwym wyzwaniom towarzyszącym przekładowi gatunku fantasy zaprezentowanym przez Guttfeld [2008] oraz związanym z tłumaczeniem elementów nacechowanych kulturowo omówionym przez Hejwowskiego [2004]. W trzeciej części podano wybrane przykłady elementów kulturowych i ich tłumaczeń z…
Negotiating the Terminological Borders of ‘Language Mediation’ in English and Italian. A Discussion on the Repercussions of Terminology on the Practi…
2015
Linguistic and cultural mediation has been playing an increasingly important role in contemporary society as a result of the intensification of international exchanges and migration flows; however, the definitions that have been given of it are still rather vague and inconsistent. In some cases linguistic and cultural mediation is seen as a broad superordinate category, comprising a range of different interlinguistic and intercultural activities serving the purpose of facilitating communication across languages, cultures and societies in various areas of civil society: industry, business, trade, law, literature, academia, institutions, public services, etc. In other cases, instead, the defi…
Interpretación social y accesibilidad. Una propuesta de conexión disciplinar
2020
El objetivo de este estudio es ofrecer argumentos para entender la actividad propia de la interpretación social como parte del dominio genérico de la accesibilidad. Al hacerlo no ampliamos en realidad el concepto de accesibilidad, sino que reforzamos aquello que justifica el uso de este término, para diferenciar una parcela de actividad dentro de la práctica general de la traducción y la interpretación. Con el tema de la accesibilidad sucede que se ha manejado una etiqueta sin una delimitación conceptual previa de lo que se pretende designar por medio de ella. En este estudio nos ocupamos brevemente de esta tarea de aproximación conceptual, con el objetivo de incluir bajo el abanico de las …
Dubbing dialogues… naturally: a pragmatic approach to the translation of transition markers in dubbing
2012
Although research in Audiovisual Translation is said to have come of age in the past decade, there are still several key issues that have not received the scholarly attention they deserve. In the case of dubbing, the study of the naturalness of dubbed dialogue is a case in point. The aim of the present article is to analyse the use of transition markers in dubbing in order to look precisely at the naturalness of dubbed dialogue while taking into account the dubbing constraints at play. This analysis is carried out by comparing the dubbed dialogue (English-Spanish) of a popular American sitcom to the non-translated but prefabricated dialogue of a Spanish sitcom and finally to spontaneous con…
Language Mediation and Aspects of Accommodation in the Use of ELF
2014
There are numerous varieties of English spoken in Italy today, each repre-sented by one or more of the various migrant communities living in the country. These manifestations of World englishes reflect a wide range of lexical, syntactical, phonetic, pragmatic, interpersonal and cultural features. This paper argues that an interpreter or language mediator trained in standard English may not necessarily be able to comprehend or make him/herself understood adequately in other varieties of English. Thus, the recruitment of mediators/interpreters requires a certain amount of caution in terms of language choice. In order to investigate intelligibility, comprehensibility and accommodation in the c…
The use of social surveys in translation studies: methodological characteristics
2010
This article is the English version of "El uso de la encuesta de tipo social en traductología: características metodológicas" by Anna Kuznik, Amparo Hurtado Albir & Anna Espinal Berenguer. It was not published on the print version of MonTI for reasons of space. The online version of MonTI does not suffer from these limitations, and this is our way of promoting plurilingualism. Translation is an activity carried out by professionals – in some cases after a period of formal training – who are employed or self-employed, and whose work is destined for translation users. Translators, translator trainees, employers of translators, and translation users are four clearly defined social groups withi…
El uso de la encuesta de tipo social en traductología. Características metodológicas
2010
La traducción es una actividad desempeñada por un colectivo laboral y profesional (los traductores), en algunos casos con un proceso formativo previo, a cargo de empleadores, y dirigida a usuarios de la traducción. Estos cuatro colectivos (traductores, alumnos de traducción, empleadores y usuarios), con características sociales bien definidas, son colectivos susceptibles de ser estudiados con uno de los métodos de investigación más frecuentes en las ciencias sociales: la encuesta. En el presente artículo se dan a conocer las características metodológicas de la encuesta de tipo social. Se ejemplifica y valora su aplicación en la Traductología en diversos tipos de estudios: estudios orientado…
Il Cabinet d'amateur di Georges Perec
2011
In 1979 one year after the publication of La vie mode d’emploi, George Perec wrote Cabinet d’amateur. Histoire d’un tableau, in which he tells the story of a painting belonging to the genre of the cabinet d’amateur, also known as kunst- und wunderkammer. It is a collection of different paintings, usually belonging to a rich man or a notable, portrayed (once again) in a single picture celebrating the magnificence of this more or less real collection. As for the pictorial genre, so the short novel is the celebration of the images collected by George Perec in his previous masterpiece, La vie mode d’emploi. This is why I assume this work to be referable to the genre of structural homology more …
Interpreting in the Community and Workplace. A Practical Teaching Guide
2011
A handbook for trainers of community, public service and business interpreting with a wide range of classroom exercises and annotated dialogues Literature on the assessment of interpreters has grown rapidly in the emerging field of Community- and Public Service Interpreting, but there is still very little practical training material available. Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of using trained rather than ad-hoc interpreters. This educational tool for trainers in all fields of dialogue interpreting hopes to fill precisely that gap. Although the focus is on two key areas, the legal and health sectors, the book also includes business interpreting, which is a source of employme…
Caccia alla volpe: nel labirinto della non fiction
2020
Con questo numero inauguriamo una nuova rubrica, Campo aperto, che ospiterà discussioni e polemiche su opere recenti e questioni controverse. Partiamo con un confronto che, incentrato su Max Fox o le relazioni pericolose di Sergio Luzzatto (2019), si dilata in ragionamento sul rapporto tra etica e letteratura e sulle caratteristiche della non fiction contemporanea.
