PDF] Especificidades da tradução de histórias em quadrinhos: abordagem inicial

Comic book translation still is a relatively unexplored area in Translation Studies. Therefore, there is few theoretical footing specifically related to it. Recent worldwide comic book production – especially related to so-called “graphic novels” –, however, posits a status for comics similar to the one attributed to literature, which means comic books are being more accepted as significant cultural objects, as well as research objects. From this context, this projects aims to propose guidelines for the specific understanding of comic book translation, as compared to translations practices in other media. Therefore, it presents five specifics proper to this kind of translation: (1) the linguistic content units-only translator intervention; (2) layout-binding; (3) verbal break indissolubility; (4) translation document = letterer script; (5) the letterer as cotranslator.
