Abstract
The paper deals with translation of genre fiction – fantasy, science fiction and children’s fiction, and the issues associated with the translation of these genres. In terms of translation theory, the concepts of domestication and foreignization of translation are explained. The main characteristics of each researched genre are presented, as are the major issues found in translating said genres. The main subject dealt with in the research is the translation of proper nouns and neologisms, studied on the example of His Dark Materials, a children’s science fantasy trilogy written by Philip Pullman. Various procedures used for translating neologisms and proper nouns are presented, based on which an analysis of the Croatian translation of His Dark Materials was made. The conclusions reached based on the results of the analysis are that there is no preference in the choice of strategy for translation of neologisms, since all strategies found in the work in question are used in equal percentages, while copying or reproduction is the most commonly used strategy for rendering proper nouns into Croatian. In order to make a more general conclusion regarding the translation of neologisms and proper nouns into Croatian, more research on this subject would have to be conducted.
Abstract (croatian)
U radu se govori o prevođenju žanrovske fikcije – fantastične književnosti, znanstvene fantastike i fikcije za djecu – te o problemima koji se javljaju u prevođenju navedenih žanrova. U okviru teorije prevođenja, objašnjavaju se koncepti podomaćivanja (domestication) i postranjivanja (foreignization) u prijevodu. Navode se glavne karakteristike svakog od analiziranih žanrova, kao i glavni problemi koji se javljaju prilikom prevođenja tih žanrova. Glavni predmet istraživanja prijevod je vlastitih imenica i novotvorenica, proučen na primjeru trilogije Philipa Pullmana Njegove tamne tvari, koja sadrži elemente svih triju relevantnih žanrova. Navode se različiti postupci i strategije koji se mogu upotrijebiti za prevođenje novotvorenica i vlastitih imenica, a uporaba tih strategija analizira se u hrvatskom prijevodu Njegovih tamnih tvari. Na temelju rezultata analize donosi se zaključak da ne postoji preferencija u izboru strategije za prijevod neologizama, jer su sve upotrijebljene strategije jednako zastupljene. Za vlastite se imenice zaključuje da se u prevođenju na hrvatski najviše upotrebljava strategija kopiranja ili reprodukcije. Kako bi se mogao donijeti opći zaključak o prevođenju novotvorenica i vlastitih imenica na hrvatski jezik, trebalo bi se provesti još istraživanja na tu temu.
