The Visibility Of Translation And The Translator In Film: A Case Study Of “lost In Translation’’
Auteurs : Belguendouz Yacine Mohamed .
Résumé
In a globalizing world, translators have increasingly become visible intercultural mediators. This visibility is reflected in contemporary cinema. Hence, failing to incorporate films into the theorization of translation is a missed chance to engage audiences on translation-related concerns. This essay aims to demonstrate the potential of cinema as a dynamic medium for theorizing in translation. First, we’ll examine how translation is fictionalized in films in general, and in the chosen film 'Lost in Translation' in particular. Then, we will attempt to show stereotypes and problems of translation as depicted in cinema, to finally come to the conclusion that the cinematic portrayal of translation provides a new light on translation theory and shows the critical role of translators in today's multicultural society.
