| Sumario: | People have always been living in a changing world governed by social, cultural, economic and historical factors which require us get knowledge from other nations and cultures. Around the world people read translated books, articles and magazines; therefore, cultural transmission through translation gains importance. This study aims to identify how culture-specific items are transmitted through literary translation. To achieve this, target texts need to be investigated if they fulfill the same function as source text do. In order to conduct the research, five books were chosen randomly and analyzed in terms of culture-specific items. In this process, both source and target texts were gone through. The culture-specific items detected in the source and target texts were grouped respecting to cultural categorization stated in Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. To analyze the target texts, methods used in transmitting culture and culture-specific items were identified and it was examined if the target texts had the same effect in target culture like the source texts had in terms of culture. The data was collected through interviews with editors of publishing houses and analyses of five books published by them. Having analyzed the data, it was concluded that culture-specific items were provided by translators, either explaining through footnotes or attaching the information to the target text. From this conclusion, it can be inferred that translators play fundamental role in translation process and they can be advised to gain more cultural knowledge so that they become more familiar to source and target cultures and get heightened awareness. |
