Abstract

As the world is becoming smaller, the ideas and beliefs of different societies and cultures encounter each other, bringing about the emergence of hybridity. In the modern world, cultural hybridity plays an important role in eradicating the barriers between cultures and people. This study aims to investigate the most frequently applied strategies by translators based on Venuti’s translation theory. In this research 10 English films and their Persian translations are examined based on Delabastita’s four distinctions of film signs including audio-verbal, audio-nonverbal, visual-verbal, and visual-nonverbal. The results of the study show that most of the strategies were related to domestication strategy and most of the hybrid elements were related to audio-verbal and visual-nonverbal levels of hybridity.

بررسی ترکیب فرهنگی در 10 فیلم انگلیسی دوبله شده به فارسی توسط کانال نمایش

Abstract [Persian]

با کوچک‌تر شدن جهان، عقاید و باورهای جوامع و فرهنگ‌های مختلف با یکدیگر مواجه می‌شوند و ترکیبی را پدید می‌آورند. در دنیای مدرن، ترکیب فرهنگی نقش مهمی در از بین بردن موانع بین فرهنگ ها و مردم ایفا می کند. هدف این پژوهش بررسی راهبردهای متداول به کار رفته توسط مترجمان بر اساس نظریه ترجمه ونوتی است. در این تحقیق 10 فیلم انگلیسی و ترجمه فارسی آنها بر اساس چهار تمایز دلابستیتا از نشانه های فیلم شامل سمعی-کلامی، شنیداری-غیرکلامی، دیداری-کلامی و بصری-غیرکلامی بررسی شده است. نتایج تحقیق نشان می‌دهد که بیشتر استراتژی‌ها مربوط به استراتژی بومی سازی و بیشتر عناصر ترکیبی مربوط به سطوح سمعی-کلامی و بصری-غیرکلامی ترکیبی بوده است.
