Özet:

 The exponential boom in audiovisual content creation this century has led to a significant increase in the translation of audiovisual texts, and, subsequently, in the study of these translations from a wide range of perspectives. Likewise, an increasing amount of attention has been paid to swearing as a social phenomenon, its representation in different types of texts and the ways in which this type of language is then rendered in translation. The last twenty years have seen an upsurge in the research carried out on the translation of swearing in films and series, typically in the rendering in other languages of expressions considered vulgar, rude, foul, blasphemous or taboo that were originally uttered by fictional characters in English. More recently, with the emergence and boom of streaming platforms, an increased amount of audiovisual fiction has been translated into English. In this context, this study describes and analyses the swear words used in the original Neapolitan dialect of the Italian series Gomorrah, based on the type of swearing used, the systems of reference alluded to by taboo expressions and the functions said instances of swearing fulfill. In a second step, it also presents translations of 3 these elements in the English subtitled version and the Spanish dubbed version, in the light of the constraints involved in each of the modalities of audiovisual translation and the translation techniques used, together with an indication as to whether or not the strength of the language used has been intensified, preserved or attenuated in each translated version.

 Bu yuzyılda görsel-işitsel içerik uretimindeki ustel artış, görselişitsel metinlerin çevirisinde önemli bir artışa ve buna bağlı olarak bu çevirilerin geniş bir yelpazede incelenmesine yol açmıştır. Aynı şekilde, kufur etme olgusu da sosyal bir fenomen olarak giderek daha fazla ilgi görmuş, farklı metin turlerinde nasıl temsil edildiği ve bu tur bir dilin çeviride nasıl aktarıldığı uzerine çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Son yirmi yılda, özellikle filmler ve dizilerde kullanılan kufurlerin çevirisi uzerine yapılan araştırmalar artış göstermiştir. Bu araştırmalar, genellikle, İngilizce konuşan kurgusal karakterler tarafından söylenmiş, bayağı, kaba, iğrenç, hakaretkar veya tabu olarak kabul edilen ifadelerin diğer dillere nasıl aktarıldığı uzerinde yoğunlaşmıştır. Daha yakın bir tarihte ise, yayın platformlarının ortaya çıkışı ve hızlı buyumesiyle, görsel-işitsel kurguların İngilizceye çevirisinin arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma, İtalyan dizisi Gomorrahnın orijinal Napoli lehçesinde kullanılan kufurleri, kullanılan kufur turleri, tabu ifadelerin gönderme yaptığı referans sistemleri ve bu kufurlerin hangi işlevleri yerine getirdiği temelinde tanımlamakta ve analiz etmektedir. İkinci aşamada ise, bu unsurların İngilizce altyazılı versiyonu ve İspanyolca dublajlı versiyonlarındaki çevirilerini, görsel-işitsel çeviri 2 turlerinin her birinde karşılaşılan kısıtlamalar ve kullanılan çeviri teknikleri ışığında sunmakta; ayrıca her bir çevrilmiş versiyonda kullanılan dilin gucunun yoğunlaştırılıp yoğunlaştırılmadığını, korunup korunmadığını ya da hafifletilip hafifletilmediğini belirtmektedir.
