Prevođenje humora i satire u drami "Važno je zvati se Ernest" Oscara Wildea i njezinoj kazališnoj adaptaciji

Oscar Wilde was a famous 19th-century author and playwright. He was best known for his plays and satires. Even nowadays, his works and plays are translated into numerous languages. Translation is a process of transcending text from one language to another without losing the intended meaning. However, when it comes to translating humor and jokes, this is not always the easiest task. This is why this MA thesis deals with two different translations of Wilde’s play The Importance of Being Earnest from English into Croatian, one by Ivo Juriša and the other by Martina Aničić. It examines 25 examples of jokes, puns, and other humorous statements. The translations are compared, analyzed, and commented on. The aim of this paper is to examine possible solutions and techniques translators use when it comes to translating humor, satire, and different types of jokes. Since the play is written to be performed on a stage, this MA thesis also briefly discusses the difficulties and possibilities for its adaptation to the theatre. Both English and Croatian theatre versions are examined.Oscar Wilde bio je poznati pisac i dramatičar 19. stoljeća. Najpoznatiji je bio po pisanju drama i satira. I danas su njegova djela i drame prevedene na brojne jezike. Prijevod je proces prenošenja teksta s jednog jezika na drugi bez gubitka željenog značenja. No, kad je riječ o prevođenju humora i šala, to nije uvijek najlakši zadatak. Stoga se u ovom magistarskom radu obrađuju dva različita prijevoda Wildeove drame „Važno je zvati se Ernest” s engleskoga na hrvatski, jedan prevoditelj je Ivo Juriša, a drugi Martina Aničić. Rad sadrži 25 primjera šala, igri riječi i drugih duhovitih izjava. Dva dana prijevoda uspoređena su, analizirana i kratko prokomentirana. Cilj ovog rada je ispitati moguća rješenja i tehnike kojima se prevoditelji služe pri prevođenju humora, satire i različitih vrsta šala. Budući da je drama napisana za kazališnu izvedbu, u ovom se diplomskom radu ukratko govori o poteškoćama i mogućnostima njezine adaptacije za kazalište. Rad uključuje analizu i engleske i hrvatske kazališne verzije
