Uma análise da tradução do humor na dublagem do filme White Chicks

Abstract

Translation and dubbing are social and cultural manifestations of human beings. The adaptation made in the dubbing of cinematographic products is used as a communication tool and is mainly related to cultural issues. This resource should be used as a means of facilitating the understanding of the meaning of the text by the target audience. Based on this principle, this research aimed to analyze the adaptations made in the translation of jokes and humor contents in the Portuguese dubbing of the film White Chicks. For the theoretical basis, this analysis was based on the writers Campos (1986) Plaza (2003), Bassnett (2003) and Arrojo (2007). This is a documentary research as for the data collection, and the comparative method was used to compare , through analysis, the original text from cinematographic work which is in English and the adapted text for dubbing which is in Portuguese, being possible to verify the hypothesis which is related to the use of colloquial words and expressions, including jokes, creating a more intimate translation environment and much closer to the viewer's reality, which was what most contributed to make the film a huge success in Brazil
