The empirical corpus is a set of rhythms: sússia, catira, drum, roda and congo. The choise was motivated because they have cultural reference in the State. The goal was identify the Tocantins Drums group formation and appropriate. For this purpose was achieved, it was proposed specifically: understand the importance of the relationship between culture and communication and subaltern culture and mass culture; identify which group's proposal and how the rhythms are worked; understand how to constitute the identities of the group, to identify the elements and belonging of the project participants; verify that the more traditional groups are recognized in the representation of the Drums of Tocantins and realize what the differences between them.The assumptions were that participants in the group Drums of Tocantins developed from a traditional style, but incorporating elements of mass culture, its own forms and styles of cultural expression and acquired a positive stance in relation to the rhythms and music critics as massive , which could result in the construction of their identity.After the conclusion of the proposed research, it was found that not exacly those factors constitute the identity of the group, but a greater bond, the social inclusion. / O tema norteador dessa pesquisa é a apropriação de ritmos tradicionais tocantinenses em um projeto de música percussiva chamado Tambores do Tocantins. O corpus empírico é um conjunto de ritmos: sússia, catira, tambor, congo e roda. A escolha desse objeto foi motivada por eles serem referência nas manifestações culturais do Estado. O objetivo era identificar a dinâmica de formação de identidade do grupo Tambores do Tocantins, na medida em que esses ritmos são apropriados. Para que tal fim fosse alcançado, propôs-se especificamente: compreender a importância da relação entre cultura e comunicação e cultura subalterna e cultura de massa; identificar qual a proposta do grupo Tambores do Tocantins e como os ritmos são trabalhados; compreender como se constitui as identidades do grupo; identificar os elementos singularizantes e de pertencimento dos participantes do projeto; verificar se os grupos mais tradicionais se reconhecem na representação do Tambores do Tocantins e perceber quais as diferenças entre eles. Os pressupostos eram que os participantes do grupo Tambores do Tocantins desenvolviam a partir de um estilo tradicional, mas incorporando elementos da cultura de massa, suas próprias formas e estilos de expressão cultural, e adquiriam uma postura positiva em relação aos ritmos e crítica quanto a música massiva, o que poderia resultar na construção de sua identidade. Após a conclusão das investigações propostas, constatou-se que não são exatamente esses fatores que constituem a identidade de grupo do Tambores do Tocantins, mas um vínculo maior, a inclusão social.

The aim of this paper is to examine the translation of a political and historical text on the French-African relations from French into Swedish, focusing on the translation of cultural reference and metaphor. The African context is relatively unknown to Swedish readers. This and other factors mean that some expressions and phenomena mentioned in the source text will need explanation in the translated text. This type of text also contains a large number of metaphors that may have to be adapted to the target text context.The analysis in this paper has been made using the author’s own translation of an extract of the essay book ”La France en Afrique – Cinq siècles de présence: vérités et mensonges” by Jean-Paul Gourévitch. A number of works dedicated to the translation of metaphors and cultural reference have been studied and theories applied to the translation of this particular source text.The main results of the study are firstly that Ogden & Richards triangle of reference will be particularly helpful to the translator when dealing with the issues of cultural reference and metaphor. Secondly, Vermeer’s skopos theory helps the translator make the text relevant and adapted to the reader’s needs. Thirdly, the target text structure is of importance.

Les compétences linguistiques sont fondamentales à l’exercice du métier de traducteur. La connaissance de la culture d’origine et d’arrivée est elle aussi d’une importance primordiale pour transmettre la richesse d’un ouvrage. La question de la place du culturel dans la traduction est abordée par les chercheurs en traductologie depuis une trentaine d’années, et les critères définis sont de plus en plus précis. Cependant, le couple spécifique que constitue le polonais vers le français n’est encore que peu étudié. Nous nous interrogeons donc sur l’expression des connaissances culturelles et contextuelles dans la traduction lors du passage du polonais vers le français. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuyons sur un corpus issu majoritairement des littératures de grande diffusion : notre questionnement porte sur la place de la culture, tant individuelle que nationale, quand l’objectif premier du texte est autre que culturel, ainsi que sur l’importance apportée à sa traduction. Notre réflexion s’appuie sur les oeuvres d’un grand auteur de fantasy, Andrzej Sapkowski, Polonais à la renommée mondiale,et aux traductions ver s le français de ses oeuvres. Nos observations sont par ailleurs complétées par une analyse de la même problématique dans le polar et le roman historique. La question que nous posons est la suivante : dans des textes polonais dont l’objectif premier n’est pas la transmission de la culture, mais le divertissement du public, quels types de connaissances culturelles et contextuelles sont présents, quelle place occupent-ils et comment sont-ils transmis en français ? Nous nous demanderons également quelle est l’incidence s’ils sont occultés. Afin de répondre à ces interrogations, nous proposons une classification des références culturelles et contextuelles qui correspondent à une typologie possible du culturème dans la traduction polono-française, applicable à d’autres littératures que celles de grande diffusion. Pour chacune des catégories et sous-catégories distinguées, nous analysons des exemples précis d’application dans notre corpus. Ceci nous permet de mettre à jour les pratiques les plus courantes dans la traduction des littératures de grande diffusion, et peut-être d’envisager d’autres approches. / Linguistic skills are essential for translators. However, a profound knowledge of source andtarget cultures is also fundamental for transmitting all the richness of a work. Researchershave been working on the importance of translating culture for thirty years, and the criteriathey define are more and more precise. However, translation from Polish into French has beenlittle studied. Therefore, we examine the expression of cultural and contextual knowledge inPolish-to-French translations. To do that, we mainly use a corpus of broadcasting texts andquestion the importance of both individual and national culture when the primary goal of textis not cultural transmission: how to translate such cultural elements? We focus our researchon the works of the famous Polish fantasy writer Andrzej Sapkowski and their Frenchtranslations. We also include thrillers and historical novels in our research. In Polish textswhere the primary objective is not transmitting culture but entertaining a wide range of public,what kind of cultural and contextual knowledge is expressed, what importance does it haveand how is it translated into French? We also question the impact of the absence of suchcultural elements in the translations. To answer all these questions, we establish aclassification of cultural references that can be considered as a possible typology for thecultureme in translation from Polish into French that may apply to other types of texts. Foreach category and subcategory, we analyze specific examples from our corpus of texts. Thisallows us to recognize most frequent practices in broadcasting literature translations, andperhaps offer new approaches.

This essay deals with translation issues arising when translating a political newspaper article from Spanish into Swedish. The identified issues are strongly related to cultural differences between the culture of the source text and the culture of the target text. Thus, the aim of the study is to identify and explore how cultural references, political concepts and metaphors are translated in the following newspaper article, “Adiós clase media, adiós”. The study is partly based on a quantitative method, which shows that the four most common translation techniques in the present translation are the following: transposition, direct translation, couplet and established equivalent. However, the qualitative analysis, focusing on the social context and the cognitive processes of the translations, proves that several other strategies are useful when translating political concepts. Furthermore, the study verifies that it is necessary that the translator bears in mind that by using one strategy or another, he or she can influence the way the target text will be perceived by the receptor. Some translations are more faithful to the source text while others are more closely related to the target culture. Likewise, some are strongly influenced by the author or publisher and others by the translator’s own ideological purposes.

The ever-changing practice of translating movies evolves along with living languages and media development. Dubbing a movie broadens its reach adequately when the primary audience is younger children with little knowledge of the movie’s source language and culture. Dubbing is a form of audiovisual translation where much of the original dialogue can be kept since the time restraints are ruled by the original dialogue. In this study, culture-bound references from the children's movie The Swan Princess (1994) have been analyzed with the purpose of identifying the translation strategies used. The study is qualitative, and the analysis is based on audiovisual translation theory. This study has shown that the cost of subtitling instead of dubbing a movie, for children, is its culture-bound expressions and references. Dubbing has many advantages for audiences who cannot read fast enough for the subtitles to contain something of substance.
