ترجمة الخلفيات الثقافية و تأثيراتها على المتلقي العربي - مقاطع من فيلم باربي أنموذجا

Abstract

This study aims to shed light on the impact of cultural translation in the 2023 Barbie movie on Arab audiences as a case study. We conducted this study by observing and analyzing samples of the Arabic translation of the film, using a descriptive-analytical approach, drawing on previous studies in the field of audiovisual translation and subtitling. We found that cultural translation has both positive and negative effects on society, and that some Western films carry negative values targeting innocent minds. We also observed that Arab translators demonstrate their belongingness and reservation when translating content that does not align with their societies' values.
