É assim que se traduz: uma análise dos frames evocados na tradução de cenas de violência na obra É assim que acaba

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how ten lines from the film It Ends with Us were translated, in light of the translation strategies proposed by Chesterman (2016) and the theoretical contribution of Frame Semantics (Fillmore, 1982), with a view to understanding the effects of subtitling and dubbing on viewers in the target polysystem (Even-Zohar, 1972). For that, we intend to make semantic annotations of the event frames evoked by the three scenes of domestic violence found in the movie, verifying how these annotations dialogue with the translations of the lines. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, this study is based on a mixed method (Santos et al., 2017) for a more detailed analysis of the data. As a result, of the ten excerpts considered, in terms of linguistic material, a total of twenty-five translation strategies were observed in the subtitles and thirty-three in the dubbing text. In this sense, it was found that dubbing contains a greater number of semantic and pragmatic strategies (Chesterman, 2016). This information was highlighted by the semantic annotation made on the same material, totaling twenty-three frames in the original audio, twenty-eight in the subtitles, and thirty-three in the dubbing. Regarding the second part of the analysis, the video material lasts seven minutes and fifty-six seconds, segmented into three scenes, and based on the annotation, two hundred and forty-six bounding boxes (BBs) were created in thirty-eight different frames, finding that both the first and second scenes did not have annotations attributing frames to the domain of violence, while only the third scene explicitly shows domestic violence to the viewer. Thus, even though the scene watched is the same, it can be concluded that viewers will have a different perception of the film when choosing the dubbed version, since the lines contain a significant number of semantic and pragmatic translation strategies.
