Del párrafo a la viñeta: El Cid (2020), de José Luis Corral y Alberto Valero

RESUMEN: En línea con aquellos trabajos que ya dieron cuenta de la proyección de la materia cidiana sobre formatos o expresiones culturales ajenos al de la literatura —véase, por ejemplo: Rodiek ([1990] 1995), Aguilar (2014), Boix Jovaní (2015), Saguar García (2017), Escandell Montiel (2017)—, el propósito de este trabajo radica en el examen y comentario de la novela gráfica El Cid, aparecida en el año 2020, guionizada e ilustrada por Alberto Valero y basada en la novela histórica homónima de José Luis Corral, del año 2000. El objetivo es, pues, analizar esta nueva recreación de la historia de Rodrigo Díaz en relación con el texto originario del que parte —y aún con una larga tradición debida al héroe— y en función de las particularidades icono-textuales que atañen a la novela gráfica. ABSTRACT: Close to those works that already analyzed the projection of the Cidian matter on formats or cultural expressions other than literature —Rodiek ([1990] 1995), Aguilar (2014), Boix Jovaní (2015), Saguar García (2017), Escandell Montiel (2017)—, the aim of this article is to examine the graphic novel El Cid (2020), scripted and illustrated by Alberto Valero and based on the homonymous historical novel by José Luis Corral (2000). The objective is to analyze this new cidian recreation in relation to the original novel from which it starts, a long cidian tradition and the discursive particularities of the graphic novel.

El hombre que mató a don Quijote de Terry Gilliam (2018) desde la transversalidad de la recreación

In this study, I undertake an analysis of Terry Gilliam’s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018), a cinematographic recreation of Cervantes’s Don Quixote. I will scrutinise its themes, formal resources, and characterization in relation to other ways of recreation (primarily, the literary and musical ones), while paying special attention to the identity of the protagonists, the metafictional procedures, and the strategies employed in order to reword some of the main episodes of the original novel. In this sense, this study allows for an understanding of the Cervantine text from a transversal perspective.

Children’s fiction and anime: The case of Shōkōjo Sēra

This article considers the case of Shōkōjo Sēra (1985), a Japanese animated series based on the novel A Little Princess, within the context of the World Masterpiece Theater, a television staple that popularized the practice of adapting classic children’s books into long-running anime. The analysis identifies the changes occurring in the adaptation, casting a light on the creative and productive choices undertaken by the Japanese staff. In doing so, the original novel and its reception in Japan are taken into account, with regard to the role of translated literature for local children’s and girls’ fiction. The study thus demonstrates that the alterations found in the series are both genre-related and explicable in terms of cultural-filtered interpretations, as can be seen in the negotiation of the protagonist as a Christian damsel-in-distress, combining melodramatic tropes, a signifier of westernization and a domesticating rationale of her alleged passivity.

The translation of images and West Indian creole into Spanish in Sam Selvon’s The Lonely Londoners

Sam Selvon’s The Lonely Londoners is considered a classic of West Indian literature in the style of Migrant Modernism (Brown 2013). First published in post-war London in 1956, it was not translated into Spanish until 2016, probably due to the challenging features of the novel and its language. A case of text creolisation (Buzelin 2000), the translation of the novel required an active effort to construct a language variant that could convey Selvon’s peculiar literary style and sociopolitical intent. The present work aims to investigate the images of West Indians portrayed in the original novel and, more specifically, how they are transposed into the Spanish text. The research method includes an account of the editorial process, an interview with the translator, and an analysis of the paratexts and translation excerpts. Finally, the reception of the translation in literary reviews shall also be discussed.

Translation of Indonesian Cultural Terms in Rainbow Troops Novel: Investigating Translation Procedures

This study is to identify the Indonesian Cultural Terms (ICTs) in Rainbow Troops as the English translated novel by Angie Kilbane from Laskar Pelangi original Indonesian novel by Andrea Hirata and to analyze the translation procedures of ICTs. A qualitative approach is applied in this research by using the content analysis. The result shows that there are five categories of cultural terms such as ecology; material culture; social culture; organizations/customs/ideas/activities/procedures/ concepts, and; gestures and habits. Thev highest percentage of ICT’s is 28.13% which is categorized into organizations, customs, ideas, activities, procedures, concepts. It is a novel with an educational background because it illustrates a lot of activities of teachers and students at school. The translation procedure mostly uses borrowing with 54.17% which proves some vocabulary deficiencies in translated novel since the translator could not find the equivalent cultural terms from the original novel.

Reimagining Peter Pan: The Postmodern Childhood Portrayal in Wendy (2020)

As a social construct, the view towards childhood remains to change over time. Literary works, such as films or novels from different periods of time which feature children's characters as the protagonists can be the right medium to identify those shifts. This article analyzes Wendy (2020) film as the latest adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s classic children's novel Peter Pan (1911). This film has made some transformations from the original novel to make the story more relevant in today’s context, including how it showcases childhood that is experienced by the children’s characters. Using textual and comparative analysis, this study attempts to see the transformations in the film adaptation and how it shows a different childhood construction from the one appearing in the source novel. Referring to the concept of postmodern childhood, Linda Hutcheon’s adaptation theory, and Bordwell and Thompson’s elements of film analysis, this study reveals how Wendy (2020) has exemplified the concept of postmodern childhood through the portrayal of children’s roles, children’s agency, and children-adults relationship.

THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE IMAGE OF JAVANESE AS AN OLD LANGUAGE THROUGH AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF JAVANESE CULTURAL TERMS IN INDONESIAN NOVEL ‘GADIS KRETEK’

As on old language, Javanese has its uniqueness. The uniqueness of Javanese language is reflected through the use of speech level and the distinctive specification in addressing things and activities. Consequently, Javanese language is rich with vocabularies and it has many specific cultural terms in many aspects and activities. In Indonesian novel ‘Gadis Kretek’, many Javanese cultural terms are incorporated to depict and construct Javanese social life, characterization, and issues. Such cultural terms become a challenge for the English translator since they symbolize the oldness of Javanese language. This research unfolds the translation techniques used by translator in translating Javanese cultural terms in novel ‘Gadis Kretek’ as well as the translation quality of the English translation. The data of this study were taken based on the certain criteria of cultural terms in Javanese found in the original novel ‘Gadis Kretek’ and its English translation ‘Cigarette Girl’. The data source was in the form of documents and informants. The documents included the original novel ‘Gadis Kretek’ and its English translation ‘Cigarette Girl’. The informants were the raters who assessed the quality of translation. This study concludes based on the translation techniques used and the finding of the translation quality, the translator is not very successful in the attempt of reconstructing the image of Javanese as an old language because the translator fails as shown in many analyzed data to deliver the specifics of Javanese cultural terms, at least their concept in the translation.
