Abstract

This thesis is comprised of five translations with commentary. Excerpts from three books were translated from English into Croatian: Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour by Kate Fox, Sociology Beyond Societies: Mobilities for the twenty-first century by John Urry, and The Age of Living Machines: How Biology Will Build the Next Technology Revolution by Susan Hockfield. An excerpt from Spomenici otoka Lopuda: od antike do srednjeg vijeka by Ivana Tomas and Maja Zeman was translated from Croatian into English, as well as a short story titled „Tramuntana” from Nasmijati psa i sedam novih priča by Olja Savičević Ivančević). Since the five texts range from being very culturally marked to almost culturally neutral, there are significant differences when it comes to the degree of domestication. Therefore, the commentary focused mainly on the strategy of domestication and how it can be applied to each of these texts.

Abstract (croatian)

Ovaj rad sastoji se od per prijevoda s komentarima. Isječci iz triju knjiga prevedeni su s engleskog na hrvatski jezik: Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour Kate Fox, Sociology Beyond Societies: Mobilities for the twenty-first century Johna Urryja i The Age of Living Machines: How Biology Will Build the Next Technology Revolution Susan Hockfield. S hrvatskog na engleski jezik preveden je isječak iz knjige Spomenici otoka Lopuda: od antike do srednjeg vijeka Ivane Tomas i Maje Zeman te kratka priča pod naslovom “Tramuntana” iz knjige Nasmijati psa i sedam novih priča Olje Savičević Ivančević. Budući da su neki od ovih tekstova prepuni kulturnih značajki, a neki su po istom pitanju gotovo neutralni, među njima postoje znatne razlike u razini podomaćivanja. Stoga se komentari posebno usredotočuju na strategiju podomaćivanja i kako se ona može primijeniti na svaki od ovih tekstova.
