Cultural Equivalence in Polish and German Dubbing

The book "Cultural Equivalence in Polish and German Dubbing" by Anna Palczynska offers an in-depth analysis of the challenges that arise when translating cultural expressions in media translation. In an increasingly globalized world, where hundreds of films are translated daily, it is crucial for translators to convey not only the text but also the cultural context. This academic work examines the different approaches used in the Polish and German versions of "Shrek 2," highlighting the tensions between domestication and foreignness in translation. It is aimed at students of translation studies, experienced translators, and anyone interested in the media landscape. The reading encourages a critical reflection on one's perception of films and their cultural nuances.
