Abstract
The starting point of my article is that even though words are translators’ tools, the texts they translate often include images, sounds, and movement, too. In other words, translators need media literacy. In the following, I discuss translating picturebooks and films, using different retellings of Disney and Andersen as examples. In addition, I ponder on issues such as text and situation as well as the interaction of the verbal, visual and aural information in the context of translation.
Keywords/Mots-Clés:
- picturebooks and films,
- retelling,
- verbal,
- visual and aural,
- Disney and Andersen
Résumé
Même si pour les traducteurs, les mots sont un outil, les textes à traduire contiennent souvent des images, des sons et du mouvement : c’est notre constatation de départ. En d’autres termes, les traducteurs ont besoin de compétences dans les médias. Nous discuterons également des livres d’images et des films en nous servant de différentes adaptations de Disney et d’Andersen. De plus, nous réfléchirons à des questions telles que le texte et la situation, ainsi que l’interaction des informations verbales, visuelles et auditives dans le contexte de la traduction.
