Abstract

Allusion, within the framework of intertextuality, is treated as a special topic in audiovisual translation studieswhen the restrictions such as technical, linguistic, and cultural constraints specific to audiovisual translation areconsidered. Allusion as a culture-bound element can pose significant problems in interlingual translations. Forthis reason, the ability to maintain the functions and connotations of allusions requires the use of appropriatetranslation strategies. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the strategies used for subtitling allusionsfrom English to Turkish in The Simpsons Movie, which is considerably rich in allusion. Leppihalme‟s (1997)classification of the various translation strategies will be employed as a framework for the study. A quantitativeanalysis will be performed and several examples from the film that are included in the corpus will be discussed.More specifically, the ideal goal of this study is to find out whether the use of those strategies has led thetranslations toward foreignization or domestication.

Özet

Görsel-işitsel çeviriye özgü teknik, dilsel ve kültürel kısıtlamalar gibi koşullar dikkate alındığında, metinlerarasılık kapsamındaki anıştırma (allusion), görsel-işitsel çeviri çalışmalarında özel bir başlık olarak ele alınmaktadır. Kültüre bağlı bir öğe olan anıştırma dillerarası çeviri için önemli sorunlar teşkil edebilmektedir. Bu sebeple, yapılan göndermelerin işlev ve çağrışımlarını muhafaza edebilmek uygun çeviri stratejilerinin kullanımını gerektirmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, anıştırma bakımından oldukça zengin olan The Simpsons Movie‟de İngilizce‟den Türkçe‟ye aktatrılan anıştırmaların çevirisinde kullanılan altyazı çeviri stratejilerini incelemektir. Bu doğrultuda Leppihalme (1997)‟in çeviri stratejileri çerçevesinde nicel bir analiz yapılmış olup çalışmaya konu olan filmden çeşitli örnekler tartışılmıştır. Çalışmanın asıl amacı, kullanılan çeviri stratejilerinin yabancılaştırma veya yerelleştirmeye yol açıp açmadığını tespit etmektir.
