Beschreibung
"Cultural Adaptation Flow" explores the complex journey of LGBTQ comics as they cross cultural boundaries, focusing on how these narratives are translated, localized, and interpreted for diverse audiences. This goes beyond simple linguistic translation, delving into the negotiation of cultural norms, societal values, and political sensitivities. Intriguingly, the book reveals how the adaptation process involves maintaining artistic integrity while ensuring cultural appropriateness, a delicate balance that can either foster understanding or incite controversy. The book uniquely frames cultural adaptation as a dynamic "flow," emphasizing the ongoing negotiation of meanings rather than a static transfer. It begins by establishing key concepts from cultural studies, queer theory, and translation studies. It then progresses through case studies analyzing specific LGBTQ comics in different cultural contexts, drawing on textual analysis and interviews with translators and readers. Finally, it synthesizes these findings to offer a broader understanding of the challenges and ethical considerations involved, making connections to fields like sociology, gender studies, and linguistics. The book's approach highlights the significant social impact of translated media and the construction of gender and sexual identities across cultures.
