Между носталгията, страха и сътворението (Ситуационната комедия и преводът)
Between Nostalgia, Fear and Creation (Situation Comedy and Translation)

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the problem of the possible and desired translation of situation comedies, insofar as film translation as a multimodal one is among the most challenging types of translation. The translation task is limited by the interaction of a wide range of communication elements (images, music, dialogue, and other components). An attempt at an integrative framework for studying this type of text is the study of Delabastita (1989), which offers a structure for revealing the relationships between the original and translated film, emphasizing that the film is a complex sign that should be considered only in the whole of the individual components, which also enter into complex relationships. The article also highlights some of the most characteristic features of situation comedy that must be preserved in the translation process, for the final product to be considered equivalent to the original. The themes used in this comedy communicate significant contemporary issues, which is why the translator must be familiar with what is happening not only in the specific country where the action takes place, but also with major events on a global scale.
