Research paper thumbnail of Asymmetrical Relations in Audiovisual Translation in Brazil: A Corpus-based investigation of Fixed Expressions

Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies, 2020

The analysis is carried out through reference and parallel corpus (Baker, 1995). Final results show that subtitling, rather than dubbing, is more prone to adopt foreignising strategies with regard to the translation of fixed expressions. Additionally, there have been identified, in the subtitled versions of the corpus, translation instances that deliberately move away from target language fixed expressions.

Research paper thumbnail of Between Light and Dark: Brazilian Translations of Linguistically Marked Ethical Issues in Star Wars Transmedia Narratives for Children

Our exploration involves trying to understand how different aspects interact to influence translation decisions, and as a result, the representation of light and dark in the texts explored. The combination of the various layers of meaning that inform the translation result in a multitude of translation solutions that provide an ample range of representations of the dualism, from which the child audience can build their own conceptions.
