| Resumo: | Audiovisual Translation (TAV) is the modality that covers the translation of audiovisual products such as movies, series, among others. The translated text is transmitted through two communication channels simultaneously: the acoustic channel and the visual channel. Alanis (2015) stated that TAV is a modality that presents various problems, especially when it comes to dubbing, because there are many aspects that go beyond the verbal aspects that must be considered. One of the problems of TAV is translating the cultural referents contained in the dialogue of a film into the target language (in this case, from English to Spanish), where the referents can be an obstacle for the translation, because the target audience could not understand them. The principal aim of this article was to examine how cultural references affect the translation of humorous moments in the film Finding Dory. Segments of the film were selected and present cultural elements, applied translation techniques and the distance of the humorous message from the original language to the target language were analyzed. As a result, the following types of cultural referents were found to be the most prominent in the dialogues: linguistic, social and ecologist. Literal translation, modulation, adaptation and transposition were the main translation techniques applied for dubbing. Regarding the distance of the dubbed version (VD) with the original version (VO), there were minor changes from the original dialogue; however, these changes were adapted for the target audience so that the humor was maintained, and the main message was not lost. |
