Multimodal text awareness for subtitling elements of suspense
Suspense, as a textual element, plays a central role in audiovisual storytelling, yet its subtitling has received limited attention from a multimodal perspective. While previous research has focused primarily on verbal strategies in literary texts, suspense in audiovisual texts emerges from the interaction of verbal, paraverbal, and non-verbal modes. This article proposes a framework for analyzing suspense as a multimodally constructed translatio…
Tensiones productivas entre el humor y la traducción
Productive Tensions in the Translation of Humor: Theoretical insights and practical challenges The overlap between translation and humor has often been controversial at both theoretical and practical levels. For this purpose, a critical perspective was adopted to approach these overlaps between the two domains and their respective theoretical models. This paper explores the intellectual and professional challenges posed by the common ground betwe…
O humor como problema de pesquisa em Estudos da Tradução
Este artigo é uma visão geral dos estudos de tradução aplicados ao caso do humor, divididos em quatro partes, além de uma extensa bibliografia. A primeira parte repassa a tradução do humor como objeto relevante de pesquisa e por que merece maior atenção acadêmica. A tradução de humor não deve ser tratada ou encarada como um corpo estranho nos estudos de tradução. A segunda parte é uma visão geral das principais contribuições para o campo, da Espa…
Censoring Lolita's sense of humor
There are numerous reasons for taking an academic interest in both Nabokov's (1955/2000) novel, Lolita, and Kubrick's (1962) film adaptation. Not least of these is their work per se, its quality (in both senses of the word) despite any controversy due to the theme chosen. Both works are growing in prestige. These artists have a knack for provocation, wittingly or unwittingly is beside the point, but provocation alone is surely not enough for them…
Developing Trainee Translators’ Strategic Subcompetence Through Metacognitive Questionnaires
This paper presents a case study carried out in a two-part German-Spanish general translation course. It results from a pedagogical intervention aimed at helping first-year translation students to develop their strategic subcompetence through metacognitive questionnaires. It focuses on a single function of this subcompetence, the evaluation of trainees’ translating, which was carried out by using post-translation metacognitive questionnaires. The…
Correlating trainees' translating performance with the quality of their metacognitive self-evaluation
This paper presents a study of correlations between the performance of trainee translators, according to their teacher’s assessment, and the quality of their self-evaluation, according to their answers to metacognitive questionnaires. Two case-studies of two consecutive editions of a course in general translation from German into Spanish are dealt with. The course involved the use of post-translation metacognitive questionnaires designed to help …
How Spanish in an American film is rendered in translation
This is a case study of the Spanish dubbed version of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (George Roy Hill 1969) to illustrate and further develop the concept of L3 as a language that appears in source texts and their translations. L3 is distinguishable from the main language(s), L1 for the source text and L2 for the translation, based on a model proposed by Corrius and Zabalbeascoa 2011, and Corrius 2008. The study reveals various possible ways o…
Humor and translation—an interdiscipline
This paper calls for greater attention from researchers into the nature of humor translation as an interdisciplinary area that should be of interest to translation and humor studies. It includes a brief review of the complexity of translation and the problems posed by traditional approaches. The paper introduces a number of parameters that may be of assistance in developing joke typologies for translators or translation scholars. A model is prese…
Awareness in translation
The aim of this paper is to show the importance of awareness in translation, particularly in the area of translator competence. The word and the concept of awareness can be seen more and more frequently in the specialised literature. This paper includes an account of many of the areas of translation where awareness is a relevant concept and how it has been incorporated into my own ‘P‐R model’ of translation. The P‐R model is an attempt to explain…
Factors in dubbing television comedy
We have used in situ hybridization and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to study the origins of the extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin during the development of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Previous studies have shown that neural crest cells migrate along pathways that are lined with tenascin. In situ hybridization, PCR, and western blotting reveal that these cells themselves are a major source of tenas…
