Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a postura do porco Napoleão, personagem principal da obra Animal Farm, de George Orwell e de Paulo Honório, protagonista do livro São Bernardo, de Graciliano Ramos.  Cercados pelos muros sociais, ambas as personagens são impossibilitadas de romper com sua condição e acabam levadas às práticas antigas de dominação. Reflexões acerca da teoria do ‘habitus’, de Pierre Bourdieu, norteiam o presente trabalho e oferecem subsídios necessários para a compreensão das relações sociais estabelecidas nas obras estudadas bem como as da vida real. Para além das contribuições de Bourdie, buscamos abordar a relação entre literatura e sociedade à luz de Antonio Candido.

<p>À luz das traduções intersemióticas, reaproximamos a obra literária <em>A Revolução dos Bichos</em> (Animal Farm, 1946), de George Orwell, e o álbum <em>Animals</em> (1977), da banda de rock progressivo Pink Floyd, de modo a realizarmos análises comparativas sobre as transmutações que os signos de linguagens verbais sofreram ao migrarem para um código de linguagem musical. Com o foco nos aspectos da <em>animalidade</em>, veremos como tal instinto, compartilhado entre humanos e alegorias animalescas para representar formas de poder na arte, foi tratado nas duas distopias de linguagens diferentes, sendo que a obra pinkfloydiana é declarada e explicitamente decalque da literatura orwellinana.</p>

Translating metaphor and metaphoric expressions is one of the disputable problems in translation studies due to the conceptual discrepancies which exist between the source culture and the target readership, moreover, if the metaphor plays a crucial role in creating an appeal to the reader as in the political text. In this respect, it is under the discussion of how to deal with a metaphor when translating political discourse, and what are the dominating strategies and traditions of translating metaphoric units in Turkish translations. Caused by the theoretical and practical urgency of the problem, this paper is aimed to analyze strategies of conveying metaphors from English to Turkish based on the novel “Animal Farm” by George Orwell and its Turkish translations by Sedat Demir and Celal Üster. To achieve the aims of the research the efforts were undertaken to compare the original text with its two different translations. For the precise analysis, Old Major’s speech was thoroughly scrutinized on the point of the metaphoric expressions in the text and their correspondences in the Turkish translations.

This research article aims to mirror the political symbolism and its significance in George Orwell writings with reference to “Animal Farm” and “Nineteen Eighty Four”. It is an attempt to depict the political ideologies of Orwell’s writings in the abovementioned novels, his message and legitimate fears and warning for future generations against the scandals of  totalitarianism and finally to uncover the distortion of power when spoiled by ill-mannered politicians as symbolized by room 101 in “1984” and manifested in the seven commandments prescribed by old major and later amended by Napoleon. In their pursuit to achieve the main objectives of this article, the researchers utilized a blend of approaches to find out clear-cut, evident and tangible justifications beyond Orwell’s use of “political symbolism” in both novels. That is, by virtue of adopting the analytical and critical discourse analysis methodologies along with the novels’ books of “Animal Farm” and “Nineteen Ninety Four” as the primary source of data and collected reviews offered by other writers as the secondary source of data; it could be concluded that for Orwell the political symbolism was not only a sword and shield for protection against totalitarian regimes but also was a platform for liberty and freedom of express when democracy is completely absorbed by such dictators and totalitarian governments.

This paper aims to identify strategies for translating self-names (proper nouns) and ideological tendencies in translation works. The data sources used were the translated novel entitled Binatangisme (translated by Mahbub Djunaidi) as the source text and the English novel entitled Animal Farm by George Orwell as the source text. This research used the theory designed by Davies (2003) to identify translation strategies and ideological tendencies. According to Davies, there are seven translation strategies, namely preservation, addition, localization, omission, globalization, transformation and creation. The result obtained is that the translated version tends to domestication ideology. Of the 15 data analyzed, Mahbub Djunaidi's translated version has 46.67% tendencies of domestication ideology and 40% tendencies of foreignization ideology (the number is not 100% because some data using omission are considered neutral and not counted).
