- ItemManipulation of Paratexts and Exploitation of AVT Guidelines for Advocacy Purposes(جامعة القدس, 2022-08-27) Abrar Samir Harbi Ghanem; أبرار سمير حربي غانمThis thesis studies nine articles published by PMW (Palestinian Media Watch), which is a research institute that studies the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The nine articles report events that took place between 2014 and 2015. The focus of these events is on two main incidents that were the cause of other related struggling incidents; the kidnapping of Muhammad Abu Khdeir and the Duma arson attack. The two events were the cause of other known incidents that took place during that time but were reported independently and out of the context of the two mentioned events, like Gaza 2014 war. Articles are translated from Arabic into English, and combine different paratextual elements in each. The articles aim at situating these events in a new frame by manipulating either the texts, or the paratexts they contain. The frame is the same in all PMW’s content. The frame, as this study suggests, depicts Palestinian people as ‘terrorists’ and Israel as a ‘state fighting terrorism.’The content is ideologically motivated and framed; it follows in the footsteps of certainagenda. This thesis starts with the investigation of PMW’s vision through examining its “About Us” page and its main commissioner, editors, and translators mentioned. Then, the corpus is examined following Fairclough’s (1992) model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and The Narrative Theory. Data is analysed by considering the topics PMW chooses to write about, and the main lexicons it uses in all its content regarding the Palestinian situation. The aim of this thesis is to show the role of translation during conflicts. The aim is alsoto show the role of translated narratives in shaping the public’s views and opinionson conflicts. The aim extends to show the effect and impact of ethics and of exploitation oflanguage and AVT guidelines on the Target Reader’s (TR) understanding of texts and events. The aim also extends to show how selective texts change a struggles, and change the aim translation is supposed to play. Translation is expected to bea mean of communication ora ‘Gap Bridger’ among cultures. The contribution of thecurrent study in the field of Translation Studies (TS) lies in its pre-mentioned aims that can simply be summarized into unveiling the political role translation plays. This is achieved by unveiling the hidden ideology and interests found in titles, words, and paratexts. This study’s overall goal is to create some balance in the field of (TS), by being part of the many studies that try to gain back the role translation is supposed to play. This overall goal is achieved by exposing those who try to distort the field and its supposed credibility and function, for certain agendas, and for guaranteeing power and control. This study can also be taken into consideration and examination by any future studies as a sample to research any new or modified possible translation strategies by research institutes or media. The main findings of this thesis stresses the need for a common international control and monitoring in the field of (TS). تتناول هذه الدراسة عدة تقارير إخبارية تنقل أحداث وقعت في العامين 2014 و2015 في فلسطين كما وردت لدى موقع (بالِستينيان ميديا ووتش)؛ وهو وكالة إخبارية إسرائيلية موالية ومناصرة للحكومة الإسرائيلية وأجندتها. إذ تصاعدت الأحداث خلال تلك الفترة بسبب واقعتين أساسيتين؛ جريمة خطف وقتل الطفل محمد أبو خضير عمداً، والتي كانت سبباً في إندلاع حرب غزة في العام 2014، وجريمة حرق عائلة دوابشة عمدًا. وتركز هذه الدراسة على حقيقتين؛ الأولى: أن موقع بالِستينيان ميديا ووتش نقل الأحداث المتتالية خلال تلك الفترة على حدة؛ أي أنه نقل ردة فعل الشعب الفلسطيني على تلك الأحداث دون ذكر الأحداث نفسها، من خلال التركيز على صور وفيديوهات أُخذت من مصادر فلسطينية عدة، ونشرتها هذه المصادر خلال فترة عصيبة كان يمر بها الشعب الفلسطيني. الثانية: أنه تم إستخدام تلك الأحداث، التي تركز على رد الفعل دون ذكر الفعل، في إطار الرواية الإسرائيلية عن الشعب الفلسطيني ولإثباتها لجمهور القراء المستهدف. التقارير التي كتبتها هذه الوكالة تُرجمت من اللغة العربية إلى الإنجليزية، وركزت هذه الدراسة على طريقة وأسلوب ترجمة العناوين والصور والفيديوهات ووصفهما، بالإضافة إلى أهم الملاحظات والحواشي التي أضافها الموقع إلى التقارير. وكما ركزت على المصطلحات الموجودة في التقارير، وعلى خرق القواعد المتعارف عليها في ترجمة الفيديوهات، والمتوفرة في دليل الترجمة السمعية البصرية في عدة دراسات أُقيمت في علوم الترجمة. إستخدمت هذه الدراسة نموذج Fairclough (1992)للتحليل النقدي للخطاب، ونظرية السردية في تحليل بياناتها. للوصول إلى أجوبة تتعلق بأسئلة حول دور الترجمة في إكتساب الشرعية القانونية، من خلال دورها في تشكيل بعض الروايات داخل عقول جماهير القراء المستهدفة. ويكمن ذلك الدور في التلاعب في الكلمات المستخدمة داخل نصوص مختارة بعناية فائقة. فتستنتج هذه الدراسة أن الترجمة لا تستخدم كوسيلة إتصال وتواصل؛ بل تستخدم كوسيلة سياسية لنقل أيديولوجيات وأجندات معينة.
- ItemNon-Professional Translation in Times of Conflict: The Case of the Expulsion of Palestinians in the Sheikh Jarrah Neighborhood of East Jerusalem(Al-Quds University, 2023-07-09) Lamis Khaled Taha Adib; لميس خالد طه اديبThis thesis examines non-professional translation as a product on ‘Twitter’. It examines how tweets and retweets are written, re-written, and shifted to support the Palestinian narrative in the context of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, precisely on the issue of the attempted expulsion of Palestinian residents of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem. Drawing on Descriptive Translation Studies and Narrative Theory, this thesis focuses on translated tweets on the ‘Twitter’ platform to study how social media framed and written the attempted expulsion of Palestinians in the Sheikh Jarrah Neighborhood. The micro-structural analysis focuses on the tweets as the source texts (ST) and the retweets as the target texts (TT). Other examples discuss the texts on visual images and subtitles on videos as the STs and the tweets as the TTs. The main findings show that non-professional translators practice political activism on ‘Twitter’. Furthermore, they, in the context of the events of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, are guided by the stories they believe in to reframe the narrative and adopt a sense of activism to it. This thesis contributes to research on the non-professional translation of translating tweets that are politically motivated in the context of an ongoing conflict.

- ItemRetranslation of Arabic Novels into English:The Case of Ahlam Mosteghanemi’s‘Thākiratul-Jasad’(Al-Quds University, 2021-07-21) Rania al-Waleed MustafaTamimi; رانيا وليد مصطفى التميمي‘The phenomenon of retranslation’ (Chesterman, 2000; Brownlie, 2006) is perceived as an old phenomenon, probably as old as the translation itself (CHOUIT, 2017, p. 181). Yet, the motives behind it remain quite unknown (Deane, 2011, p. i). One of the major hypotheses formulated to justify the act of retranslation is suggested by Antoine Berman (1990) proposing that "later translations tend to be closer to the source text" than the first translation (Chesterman, 2000, p. 23; 2004, p. 8). This move (on different levels) from flawed first translation toward an improved retranslation is referred to as the ‘RH’. This thesis investigates the validity of RH by presenting a case study of two English translations of Ahlam Mosteghanemi’s Arabic novel ‘Thākiratul-Jasad’. The novel ‘Thākiratul-Jasad’, which was originally published in Arabic in 1993 in Beirut, was first translated into English in 1999 by the American University in Cairo Press under the title ‘Memory in the Flesh’. It was retranslated later in 2013 by Bloomsbury Publishing in Great Britain under the title ‘The Bridges of Constantine’. The main body of the analysis, applying methods of Product-Oriented (DTS) and concepts of Venuti’s domestication and foreignization, first examines the validity of RH at the macro-structural level (e.g. titles, covers, and prefaces, etc.) and the micro-structural level (e.g. cultural expressions, social expressions, and political expressions, etc.). The analysis then moves on to identify the nature of both translations (domesticated or foreignized) based on their closeness to the source text and link them to Algerian national identity. These findings reveal that the RH is valid to a large extent when applied to the retranslation of ‘Thākiratul-Jasad’. Additionally, they reveal that the retranslation process plays a significant role in restoring the national identity of the original that was missing or distorted in the first translation. Keywords: Retranslation, RH, national identity, domestication, foreignization.

- ItemSocio-Cultural Discourse: The case of the English and Italian translations of Ibnul Muqaffa'Translated Fables Kalila wa Dimna(Al-Quds University, 2023-01-21) Nuzha AbdallahMohammad Amar; نزهاء عبدالله محمد إعمرThis research examines a masterpiece of Arabic and world literature translated by Ibnul-Muqaffa‘ as a literary text and its English and Italian translations. The research takes its cue from Fishbein and Montgomery’s English translation and Cassarino and Borruso’s Italian translation of ‘Kalīla wa Dimna’. The research adopts the theoretical framework of product-oriented Descriptive Translation Studies (Lambert & van Gorp, 1985) and the three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 1992). The research begins with accounting for the historical and socio-cultural conditions surrounding the production of ‘Kalīla wa Dimna’ and its English and Italian translations, highlighting this text’s underlying functions. It further investigates how the textual profiles of the English and Italian translations of ‘Kalīla wa Dimna’ unveil social and cultural ideologies and reflect the target audience’s interests both at micro-structural and macro-structural levels. The analysis shows how these translations indicate translation patterns that reveal the culturally motivated choice of terms and intervention. The main conclusions of the research emphasize the need to investigate translations of Arabic texts in their respective socio-cultural settings.
- ItemSUBTITLING & DUBBING CHILDREN'S ANIMATED FILMS / CASE: WALT DISENY'S THE 'LION KING' FILM(Al-Quds University, 2020-12-13) HAYA MOEEN RUSHDI SHADID; هيا معين رشدي شديدThis study aimed to investigate subtitling and dubbing in children’s animated films, the film “Lion King” was taken as a case study, the study focused on audiovisual translation of this film in regards of culture, ideology and humor, and it showed the differences in the subtitled and dubbed version of this film in all three aspects, the study analyzed every sentence of the original script in its original language (English) and made a comparison using a theoretical framework with both dubbed and subtitled versions in (Arabic), the study concentrated on comparing culture, ideology, humor, slang and sexual references and how they were dealt with in both versions, the results show that in the subtitled version the original script was literally translated which resulted in losing the original meaning intended in the original script, whereas the dubbed version succeeded in conveying the meaning of the original script and adapting that script to fit the culture, ideology and humor values in Arabic.
