Abstract

This thesis comprises five translations with commentary. Excerpts from three books were translated from English into Croatian (Watching the English. The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour, Sociology Beyond Societies. Mobilities for the Twenty First Century, The Age of Living Machines), and two from Croatian into English (Spomenici otoka Lopuda od antike do srednjeg vijeka, Nasmijati psa i sedam novih priča). The commentary focused on translation problems encountered when translating culture-specific items. Different possible translational procedures and solutions where discussed, as well as the criteria taken into account when choosing the final solution.
