Explorando técnicas de tradução na série The crown: um estudo comparativo entre o inglês original e a versão em português brasileiro

Abstract

The process of audiovisual translation plays a vital role in the dissemination of cultural content across different linguistic contexts, serving as a key element in intercultural communication. Issues such as fidelity to the original text, cultural adaptation, and the preservation of nuances are central to translating complex productions. This study analyzes the translation techniques employed in the series The Crown, comparing the original English version with its Portuguese adaptation, focusing on meaning transmission, cultural complexity, and the identity of the characters. The Crown portrays the trajectory of the British monarchy over the decades, addressing significant historical events and the intricate relationships within the royal family. This narrative richness presents challenges for translation, which goes beyond linguistic transposition, requiring strategies that maintain fidelity to the original content while adapting cultural aspects to a Portuguese-speaking audience. The research aims to investigate how translation techniques are applied in the adaptation of The Crown, highlighting their influence on meaning transmission, cultural complexity, and character identity. Using a qualitative, comparative approach, this study analyzes selected scenes from episodes, supported by bibliographic research and audiovisual analysis of the English and Brazilian Portuguese versions. The main authors used were: Silva (2022), Meneses (2023), Tomá (2022), among others. The findings contribute to a better understanding of how translation choices impact the reception of the work by diverse audiences, offering insights into the intersection of linguistic fidelity and cultural adaptation in audiovisual media.
