'Dumbledore' or 'Perkamentus'? The Case of Domestication and Foreignization in the Translation of Children's Literature

Bachelor thesis | Engelse taal en cultuur (BA)
According to Venuti, the translation strategy of domestication is the dominant strategy in Anglo-American translation culture. However, domestication also seems to be the dominant strategy in Dutch translations of children's literature. This article will first give an explanation of children's literature, then discuss both the foreignization and domestication strategy and lastly will outline a casestudy of different translations of Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and Koning van Katoren by Jan Terlouw.
