Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nda sipariş tercümeler: 1299-1730 (III. Ahmed'e kadar)
Bu çalışmada, Anadolu Beylikleri Dönemi de dâhil edilerek Osmanlı'nın kuruluşundan itibaren yapılmış ve tercüme eserlerin, kültürel iktidar bağlamında incelemesi yapılmıştır. Osmanlı tercüme literatürünün, bir saray hamisinin özel sipariş ve emirleriyle oluşturulmuş tercüme eserlerine odaklanılmıştır. Yapılan kapsamlı tasnif sonucu eserler dînî; riyâzî, müşterek, tabiî ilimler ile dil ve edebiyat ilimleri şeklinde başlıklara ayrılmıştır. Bu başlıklar altındaki sipariş tercüme eserler grafiklendirilerek elde edilen sayısal veriler yorumlanmıştır. Kültürel iktidar bağlamında ilk dört ilim grubunun değerlendirmesi tezin ikinci bölümünü oluştururken, dil ve edebiyat tercümeleri, III. Ahmed'e kadar tahta geçen padişahlara göre başlıklandırılarak, takip eden bölümde değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Değerlendirmelere sadrazam; şeyhülislam, beylerbeyi, paşa ve farklı kademelerden ağaların siparişleriyle yapılan tercümeler de dâhil edilmiştir. Böylece Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun kültürel altyapısının oluşmasında, tercüme faaliyetlerinin saray yani iktidar tarafından nasıl araçsallaştırıldığı, siyasi ve kültürel politikalarda sürekliliğin sağlanması adına tercüme mekanizmasının kimler tarafından yürütüldüğü bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır.
Benefits of film adaptations of literary works for English language learning
Despite the potential to develop speaking skills, the development of strategies to benefit from films has been neglected and very few studies have been conducted. One of these strategies has been to compare film scripts and their translations, to identify chunks, technical terms and creative language examples and to list them with their translations, and to do creative dialogue writing activities especially by modeling these scripts where chunks are used extensively. Believing in the importance of evaluating the film scripts with their translations, this study aims to investigate the processes the researcher/teacher‟s high school students went through in learning and using the target language starting with the use of the film adaptations of the literary works, writing their scripts modeling the film scripts, acting their own scripts and shooting their performances. The mixed method research design was used with the triangulation of the qualitative and quantitative data. As the participants, the 68 high school students‟s views were investigated with Likert scale (1-5) questionnaire and their comments about the question items. This study improved the learners‟ productive language skills in general and their knowledge of chunks, jargons and creative language use in particular. This study was also beneficial for translation skills.This study has also improved the creativity, self-confidence and collaboration. The study also demonstrated that productive use of films in teaching English develops imagination and creativity, the literacies regarding information, media, and innovative technology and leadership through the learning and use of English. Key Words: English language movies/series, learning English, scripts, translation, technology.

Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar'ın "Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü" eseri ve Almanca çevirisi örnekleminde kültür odaklı ögelerin aktarımında karşılaşılan sorunlar ve çözüm önerileri
This work deals with the translation difficulties that arise when translating cultural elements in Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar's "The Time Regulation Institute". The various cultural elements selected and possible strategies for overcoming translation difficulties are indicated. The theoretical part consists of Peter Newmark's "categorization of culture specific items" and Lawrence Venuti's "domestication and foreignization" theories. The Time Regulation Institute has been translated into 25 languages. The novel covers three periods, namely the first and second constitutional periods of the Ottoman Empire and the Republic and in particular the people who lived during this time and fluctuated between the old and the new, i.e. between traditional and modern culture. Thus, the novel contains many cultural elements from the beginning of the 20th century such as Ottoman authorities, Sharia authorities, religious rules, currencies and various courts. As the piece contains many cultural elements, the translator is faced with the task of dealing with the cultural elements appropriately and transferring them into the target language or target culture. This work, discusses the transfer of cultural elements on the basis of 80 examples and offers possible solutions.
Eco-translation in science fiction literature: Dune by Frank Herbert
Nowadays, any kind of contribution to raise awareness towards environment is deemed to be necessary as our planet is fighting against the problems of "global warming", "water scarcity" and "climate crisis". In eco-translation, the translator can play a crucial role for this aim in a society by being ecologically sensitive during the process of translation. In this regard, this study aims to investigate the strategies adopted for the translation of ecological items in Science Fiction works, to reveal some of the challenges that the translator might have encountered during the act of translation and to give insight into the roles of the translator to raise ecological awareness in a society by trying to determine whether the translator has been ecologically sensitive or not during this process. To this aim, in this study, 173 ecological terms in Frank Herbert's Dune and their Turkish translations by Dost Körpe have been comparatively analyzed in compliance with the translation strategies of Kansu-Yetkiner et. al (2018) adapted from Venuti, Newmark and Aixelà (literal translation, domestication, foreignization). It has been found out that the literal translation and the (domesticating) couplets/triplets are the most preferred translation strategies. In conclusion, it has been revealed that the translator has been ecologically sensitive during the act of translation.
L'analyse comparative des textes d'audiodescription français et Turc de «le parfum: Histoire d'un meurtrier» baseée sur les lignes directrices d'ADLAB
À l'instar de la technologie qui s'est développée après le nouveau millénaire, l'intégration des médias audiovisuels dans la vie humaine sous de nombreux aspects a augmenté plus que jamais. Cette situation a rendu la traduction audiovisuelle, un type de traduction multi-sémiotique et multimodale, beaucoup plus visible dans la traductologie. Étant le représentant hyposémiotique du type de traduction pour l'accessibilité dans le domaine de la traduction audiovisuelle ayant ses propres règles d'application, l'audiodescription est appliquée pour les personnes aveugles et malvoyantes qui ont un accès limité ou aucun accès aux visuels. Pour l'audiodescription, il existe plusieurs lignes directrices établies par de nombreuses institutions et organisations à travers le monde qui sont préparées pour améliorer la qualité et pour établir des normes internationales. L'une de ces lignes directrices est l'Audio Description : Lifelong Accessibility for the Blind and Visually Impaired (Accessibilité tout au long de la vie pour les aveugles et les malvoyants) ou brièvement ADLAB, qui a été soutenue par l'Union européenne et partagée avec le public international en 2014 et elles sont le produit final du projet du même nom. Dans ce mémoire, les profils d'audiodescription de la France et de la Turquie seront présentés tout comme les pays participants du projet ADLAB. Le film choisi comme corpus du mémoire sera analysé à la lumière des éléments discutés dans les lignes directrices d'ADLAB sur la rédaction des textes d'audiodescription, et une analyse comparative des textes d'audiodescription turcs et français du corpus sera effectuée. Cette analyse vise à révéler les différences entre les textes d'audiodescription créés par des descripteurs appartenant à des cultures différentes dans divers pays et à déterminer ainsi les différences interculturelles dans le domaine de l'audiodescription.
Kültürel diplomasi çerçevesinde edebi eserlerin çevirisi
The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the crucial role of cultural diplomacy in general and that literary translation is one of the main tools in the service of a country's cultural diplomacy. Cultural diplomacy is a very broad field that consists of several units and many interrelated units. This aspect of cultural diplomacy is directly related to structuralism, where it is considered that an isolated element has no meaning and that meaning takes place when the elements of the structures work together. Furthermore, it is essential to understand the different dynamics of the different countries applying good cultural diplomacy in the world in order to have a more global view of the phenomenon. Thus, one should first of all have a good vision of traditional diplomacy and public diplomacy. Nowadays, digital diplomacy is also an essential practice, as is the use of social networks, to practice cultural diplomacy. Cultural diplomacy has many aspects and practices, among which literary translation provides a literary work with the power to influence the audience of a target language. Therefore, we decided to analyse two translations of novels in the context of cultural diplomacy, one from French to Turkish and the other from Turkish to French, to find out what effects literary translation can have in a cultural diplomacy context. The aim of our thesis is thus to demonstrate the parallelism between the data provided by the translation of a novel and the issues of diplomacy.
The experimental study examining the effect of subject area knowledge on translation quality
This thesis aims to contribute to the research on the effect of subject area knowledge on the quality of translation focusing on a sports field: football. An experiment was conducted with a sample of university students in which they were divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. During the experiment, both groups took a pre-test translation task. Then, the experimental group participated in a 4-week special training program in the field of football. The control group continued their normal education in the department. Following the training program, both groups took a post-test translation task. Results were evaluated in terms of three categories: translation quality, terminology, and accuracy. The result of the pre-test translation task shows that there were no significant differences between the two groups. However, the result of the post-test translation task shows that there were significant differences between the two groups and also there were significant differences between the pre-test and post-test translation results of the experimental group. It was observed that experimental group participants who went through the training program performed better results compared to control group participants. This thesis aims to help emphasize the importance of subject area knowledge training in the translation process by focusing on football which to my knowledge, has not been studied in translation studies in terms of the effect of subject area knowledge
Analyse de la traduction Française du roman de Leylâ Erbil "Une Drôle de Femme" et construction de la féminité dans le contexte de la traduction féministe
L'écriture féminine joue un grand rôle dans la formation de la conscience féministe et de la sous-culture féminine. Selon la théorie féministe, le langage masculin est transformé par le discours féminin. Leylâ Erbil est l'un des noms qui ont remarquablement contribué à l'écriture féminine turque. Le discours féminin occupe une place importante dans les romans, car elle utilise souvent des personnages féminins et raconte ses histoires en utilisant une perspective féminine en suivant de l'idéologie qu'elle adopte. De plus, Erbil inclut délibérément dans ses romans diverses constructions de la féminité, en dehors des constructions traditionnelles. Pour cette raison, il est important de préserver la voix féminine et la construction de la féminité pendant la traduction. Avec cette étude, on examinera tout d'abord l'idéologie de Leylâ Erbil imprégné sur sa vie littéraire, et on définira le processus de lecture orienté vers la traduction de l'écriture féminine, qui a un contexte intertextuel par rapport à la théorie féministe. À la lumière des données relevés, le roman de Leylâ Erbil « Tuhaf Bir Kadın » et la traduction française du roman « Une Drôle de Femme : Trajectoire d'une féministe dans la Turquie des années 60 » seront examinés de manière comparative. L'objectif de cette étude est de révéler à quel point la traduction française est marquée par le discours féministe et la construction de la féminité, qui a été délibérément utilisée en turc au niveau du contenu, du style et de la forme, et de voir à quel point la voix féminine est saisie dans la traduction. Mots Clés Traduction féministe, écriture féminine, discours féminine, traduction descriptive, théorie féministe
Pré-édition et post-édition dans les programmes de licence en traduction et interprétation en Turquie: Proposition d'un modèle
Parallèlement aux dévelopements des technologies de traduction, quelques changements ont eu lieu dans le marché de la traduction. En particulier, depuis récemment, les recherches en intelligence artificielle ont déclanché des séries de tranformations dans le processus de traduction et dans le profil du traducteur. De nos jours, le pré-éditeur et le post-éditeur peuvent être cités parmi les nouveaux rôles du traducteur. De plus, il est possible de dire qu'avec la hausse dans les demandes de traduction, la mise en avance de la pré-édition et de la post-édition est observé. Ce qui a permis une croissance dans le besoin de pré-éditeur et post-éditeur. L'acquisition des compétences actuelles, nécessaires pour le marché de la traduction est une exigence pour les futurs traducteurs. Dans ce cas, quelles sont les connaissances et les compétences des futurs traducteurs à acquérir pour pouvoir faire la pré-édition et la post-édition? Comment peut on intégrer la pré-édition et la post-édition à l'enseignement de la traduction pour que les futurs traducteurs soient en voie d'acquisition de compétence et d'aptitude nécessaires? Dans cette étude, la place de la pré-édition et post-édition dans les programmes de licence en traduction et interprétation en Turquie va être mise en valeur et une analyse de curriculum va être réalisée. De plus, la littérature sur la traductologie, les contenus des cours concernant les technologies de traduction ou la pré-édition et post-édition et aussi les avis des professeurs des cours en question seront pris en considération pour proposer un modèle visant l'acquisition des compétences de la pré-édition et post-édition chez les futurs traducteurs.
Analyse des éléments culturels dans les traductions en Turc et en Français des contes de fées de A. S. Pouchkine
Les contes sont une source très riche en termes d'éléments culturels et folkloriques. Le transfert de ces termes est un défi pour les traducteurs pendant le processus de la traduction. Les différences culturelles dans la traduction des contes, obligent les traducteurs à faire des choix en tenant compte de l'œuvre de départ, de la culture du destinataire et de nombreux autres aspects similaires dans le processus de traduction, afin d'assurer le transfert culturel dans les contes. Par conséquent, les traducteurs, qui doivent transférer les éléments culturels, qui sont assez caractéristiques, utilisent différentes techniques et stratégies pendant le processus de la traduction. Cette étude se focalise sur les contes d'Alexandre Sergueïevitch Pouchkine, qui occupent une place importante dans la culture russe. Écrits au XIXe siècle par Pouchkine, ces contes sont caractérisés par leur style particulier, qui est un mélange de poésie et des fables, et par la richesse des éléments culturels. De ce fait, la traduction de ceux-ci est un défi pour les traducteurs qui doivent adopter des stratégies et des téchiniques en fonction de la langue, la culture, le lecteur cible et le skopos. Cette étude analyse quatre traductions, deux « anciennes » et deux « récentes », de cinq contes dans paires de langues russefrançais et russe-turc. Dans le cadre théorique de cette thèse de maîtrise, pour identifier les éléments culturels dans les traductions turques et françaises des contes de Pouchkine, la notion des éléments spécifiques à la culture (ang. culture specific items) et les stratégies de traduction dans le transfert des éléments spécifiques à la culture d'Aixelà ont été utilisées. En outre, dans le passage des micro-stratégies de traduction aux macro-stratégies de traduction, on s'est servi des notions de « domestication » et d'« étrangéisation » de Venuti. Compte tenu de ces concepts et stratégies, dans le contexte de l'hypothèse de retraduction de Berman, le transfert des éléments spécifiques à la culture dans les retraductions des contes de Pouchkine du russe vers le turc et le français a été étudié.
Automatic speech recognition in consecutive interpreter workstation: Computer-aided interpreting tool 'Sight-Terp'
This experimental study investigates the effect of using an automatic speech recognition (ASR)-enhanced computer-assisted interpreting (CAI) tool "Sight-Terp" on the performances of a group of participants in consecutive interpreting tasks. Sight-Terp, which is designed and developed by the author of this study, provides a digital note-pad, real-time speech translation, named entity recognition and highlighting, and automatic segmentation of a speech. The study employs a within-subjects repeated measures design to test participants' performances in two conditions (with and without Sight-Terp) and analyses their performances based on the criteria of accuracy and fluency. In seeking the significant difference between the accuracy ratios in two different conditions, accuracy was measured by the average of the number of accurately conveyed units of meaning (Seleskovitch, 1989). Fluency, on the other hand, was measured by calculating the total number of occurrences of disfluency markers such as false starts, frequency of filled pauses, filler words, whole-word repetitions, broken words, and incomplete phrases for each performance. Additionally, a follow-up qualitative survey is conducted to obtain participants' comparative responses and perceptions of the tool usage. The analysis and quantitative results of the study indicate that leveraging the ASR-integrated CAI tool Sight-Terp led to an enhancement in the accuracy of the participants' interpretations. However, this also resulted in a higher occurrence of disfluencies and elongated durations of interpretations. While the users experienced little difficulty while using the tool, the study outcomes also suggest potential areas of improvement and modifications that could further enhance the utility of the tool. The study aims to inform interpreting education and practice by highlighting the benefits and challenges of incorporating ASR technology in the interpreting process and offers practical suggestions for the future development of CAI tools for interpreters.
Effect of computer assisted interpreting tool on simultaneous interpreting performance
The number and scope of technologies used during conference interpreting are limited in comparison with Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) tools designed for translation practitioners. Computer Assisted Interpreting (CAI) tools aid interpreters throughout their assignments, taking into account their needs like glossary drafting and terminology retrieval. This study provides an overview of the CAI tools designed for interpreters' terminology management and evaluates the impact of using one such tool, Interpreters' Help, on novice interpreters' simultaneous interpreting (SI) performance, compared to a traditional electronic glossary in MS Excel format. Twelve recent graduates from Hacettepe University's Department of Translation and Interpretation participated in this study. A repeated-measures experimental design was used. Initially, participants were interviewed about their experience with interpreting-oriented technologies like CAI tools. They then performed a pre-test SI using an Excel glossary, followed by CAI tool training. Subsequently, participants completed a post-test SI using a glossary created with Interpreters' Help. After both tests, participants responded to a 5-point Likert questionnaire containing nine statements and one open-ended question. Simultaneous interpreting performances, terminological performances, and questionnaire responses were analysed and compared using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test, a non-parametric method, was employed to compare the SI performance scores. Participants' terminological performances were assessed for accuracy based on their glossary method and applied lexical strategies, using recorded data. This thesis seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge on interpreting studies by highlighting advantages and disadvantages of CAI tools.
Edimsel yaklaşımla İran Azerbaycan Türkçesinden Türkiye Türkçesine kültür ve çeviri - Rukiye Kebiri örneği
Bu tez, İran Azerbaycan Türkçesi ve Türkiye Türkçesi arasında yapılan çeviride kültürün kolaylaştırıcı ve zorlaştırıcı etkilerini sorgulamayı amaçlar. Akraba diller belirli sınırlarda ortak bir tarihi ve kültürü paylaştığı için çeviride bilgi kaybı en az düzeyde tutulabilir. Tarihsel süreçte yaşanan dil ilişkileri, göçler, sosyal ve siyasi vb. olaylar akraba dillerin farklı dil ve alt kültürleri barındırmasına neden olur. Çeviride, kültürün farklılaştığı noktada kaynak metin yanlış yorumlanabilir. Tezde, kültürel bağlamda seçilen örnekler ve kültürel farklılıklardan kaynaklanan sorunlar edimsel yaklaşımla incelendi.
Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar'ın Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü adlı eserinin İngilizce çevirilerinde kültürel öğelerin karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmesi
Translation involves not only two different languages but also two different cultures. It acts as a means of mediation bridging linguistic and cultural differences. Translation, therefore, cannot be thought in isolation from culture. Literary works are often loaded with certain elements that are specific to a culture, which pose great challenges to the translator, especially in the case of translation activity between two distant cultures. Because these elements are widely unknown to the target culture, their transfer to the target language most often comes with problems arising from the differences between the source and receiving culture. They can be transferred into the receiving culture using source-text- or target-text-oriented translation strategies. Strategies predominantly used in transferring CSIs can help build a macro-level understanding of the translation in question as a whole. This study aims to analyze culture-specific items in English translations of Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar's Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü translated by Ender Gürol (2001) and by Maureen Freely & Alexander Dawe (2013). All CSIs found in the novel will be identified and how they are transferred into the target language in both translations will be examined. Axielá's model for the translation of CSIs will be used to analyze the extracted CSIs. A random selection of the extractions will be discussed in detail. In light of the data found, Venuti's model will be used to reveal which strategy (foreignization vs. domestication) is predominantly used and to what extent the translators are visible in each translation.
Imageries of horror in literary translation: The Turkishtranslations of Clive Barker's the books of Blood volume I
Horror fiction occupies a significant place in Western literature, although it is not historically canonical. It has maintained its popularity since the emergence of the Gothic novel in the eighteenth century. With relatively fewer examples of horror fiction in Turkish, Turkish readers have been exposed to horror largely through translated works. Since the emotion of horror is central to the horror genre, transferring this emotion to the target text is crucial. Imagery as a literary device is a major contributor to the emotion of horror, termed "art horror" (Carroll, 1990) . This study aims to analyze the use of imagery in both source and target texts and to provide a descriptive analysis of the target texts, based on the translation strategies employed by the translators. Within this scope, the present study compares Clive Barker's The Books of Blood Volume I and its two Turkish translations. Ultimately, as a result of the analysis, it is found that particular translation strategies serve the purpose of re-creating ST art horror imagery in varying degrees and it is reasonable to evaluate those strategies in terms of their applicability in the reproduction of the source text art horror by prioritizing image representation over text representation.
Orhan Pamuk'un Kara Kitap adlı romanının Gürcüce çevirisi üzerine karşılaştırmalı bir çalışma
Orhan Pamuk, 2006'da kazandığı Nobel Ödülü ve özellikle Türkiye'de yoğun tepkiye sebep olan siyasi açıklamaları sayesinde, belki dünya çapında en çok tanınan ve eserleri en çok dile çevrilmiş Türk yazarıdır. Oryantalizm etkisi, Doğu-Batı çatışması, Türkiye'nin sosyal yapısı gibi meselelere sıkça ve yakından değinmektedir. Post-modern eserleri, özellikle Batı'da yoğun ilgi çekmiştir ve edebiyat zevkleri daha çok Batı'da hâkim yönelimlere göre oluşan Gürcistan da istisna olmamıştır. Orhan Pamuk'un eserlerinin ilk Gürcüce çevirileri onun Nobel Ödülü sahibi bir yazar olmadığı dönemlere ait ve 1990'lı yıllarda çıkan edebiyat dergilerine kadar gidiyor. Orhan Pamuk'un eserlerinin Gürcüce çevirileri arasında, Nana Canaşia tarafından çevrilmiş ve belki Gürcistan'da en popüler Orhan Pamuk romanı Kara Kitap'ın özel bir yere sahip olduğu söylenebilir – çevirmenin Türk kültürü bilgisi, metne yaklaşımı, mecaz, deyim ve benzer, kültüre özel ayrıntıları aktarırken seçtiği çözümlerin özel bir dikkate değer olduğu söylenebilir. Yüksek lisans yükümlükleri kapsamında ele alınan çalışmamızın amacı, Kara Kitap'ın Türkçe orijinalı ve Gürcüce çevirisini karşılaştırarak, çevirmenin faydalandığı yöntemleri, mecaz, deyim ve Türk kültürü bilgisi az okurlar için anlaşılması zor bölümleri çevirirken bulduğu çözümleri incelemektir. Kaynakça olarak, romanın orijinali ve Gürcüce çevirisi başta olmak üzere, çeviribilim alanında kaleme alınmış çeşitli çalışmalara, Tiflis'te yayımlanmış Türkçe Deyimler Sözlüğü dahil olmak üzere, çeşitli sözlüklere ve Türkçe-Gürcüce edebiyat çevirilerine katkıda bulunan çevirmenlerin tecrübesine başvuruldu.
On sekizinci yüzyılda İtalyan teknik literatürü, Giovanni Polini'nin bilimsel düşüncesi ve aydınlanma
Translating a text written in the technical Italian language of the eighteenth century, the time of Enlightenment, into contemporary English involves twofold process,i.e. interlingual translation, when it occurs between two languages, and the intralingual translation, when it occurs in the same language; the translation becomes harder when the language is subjected to changes over the centuries. On this purpose, the thesis puts three languages and cultures in confrontation: old Italian, modern Italian and modern English involving, therefore, both interlingual translation, between two languages, and the intralingual translation, only in one language. Taking into consideration the above-mentioned construct, the current thesis aims at exploring and discussing the strategies used in translating Le Memorie Istoriche della Gran Cupola Vaticana (the Historical Memories of the great Dome of the Vatican Temple) of Giovanni Poleni, from the eighteenth century Italian Language into modern English. The attention of my thesis was on the first part of the text which was translated in a literary mode according to Chesterman's theory. Thus, functionality of the target text and the loyalty towards the source text, two important considerations taken in the translated text, are employed as an empirical data to explain to which extent the text adapts to the reader of contemporary English language maintaining the ideas and the style of the source text. Therefore, the present study analyzes the extratextual and intratextual factors which have determined the translation. The intratextual factors serve to exert strategies according to Christiane Nord's translation oriented text analysis, which underlines the importance of the communicative function as prior to the semantic and syntactic features; and at the same time refers to Hans Vermeer's Skopos theory according to which the aim or skopos determines the product, which is the translation. The extratextual analysis contextualizes the sender and the text in a historical and cultural background; whereas the intratextual factors analyze the subject matter, the form, the lexical features and the syntactic structures of the ST.

Interpreter at the crossroads of communication, culture and language: A study on Amistad
The aim of this thesis is to explore the status/task and multiple roles of the interpreter in the film Amistad. Bringing together the approaches developed within communication and cultural studies with the approaches from the field of translation and interpreting studies, the thesis examines what the film reveals concerning the intricate relations between culture, language, communication and power in a case of linguistic, cultural and socio-economic asymmetry. The film narrates the story of the 'slaves' of the ship Amistad captured and put into trial in a legal setting where the medium of communication is a language foreign to them. The captives are deprived of a verbal tool to communicate with until an interpreter steps in, whose presence and intervention dramatically changes the course of events leading to their freedom. The analysis of Amistad as a film on language, communication, culture and translation has revealed that the film reflects both the multidimensional roles and a professional profile of the interpreter, the ethics of translation in terms of the relations of freedom and responsibility and the positions of the interpreter in communication as a process of encoding and decoding. As an eminent example revealing the central and critical role and function of the interpreter even in the fields in which translation is seen marginalized, the film shows the key role of the interpreter in the communication as a meaning creation process and power struggles. Amistad portrays the interpreter as one of the prominent players in the power games, struggles and conflicts, who incorporates, experiences, both reflects on and reflects and carries the complex and interrelated relations between the linguistic, cultural, discursive, ideological practices/constructs and power, infrastructure and hegemony, and who knows what lies behind and beyond the codes and the discourse of the dominant. Thus, the interpreter is the one who has the potential/power to either reinforce/re-produce or unsettle, even dissolve and abolish the well-organized, multi-dimensional and multi-level operating hegemonic systems structured by the power. The thesis concludes also suggesting that films may serve as potential sources of future research to explore what is behind and beyond all the workings and mechanisms of the activity of interpreting and to further explore the pivotal and critical roles of interpreter and interpreting in the encounter and clash of cultures.

Becoming a medical translator: Who are the experts?
As time goes by, more and more health tourists from different countries over the world have come to Turkey to get more affordable health care or receive better medical treatment. As the number of medical tourists has been increasing in the recent years with marketing activities by the medical tourism sector, the demand for medical translation is also gradually increasing. Meanwhile, it is the reality today that time pressure exists in every aspect of business world. Hence, in order to compete with the time needed to provide adequate translation services to the increasingly globalized business as medical tourism, translation industry demands the competent translators who can meet the needs of the translation sector. In this regard, at one side there is the increased demand for the speed in the delivery of translations and on the other side, as incompetently done medical translations can have an adverse effect on people's lives, most of the time, there is the requirement for quality in translation. Therefore, there is an issue to consider: who are the experts in writing good-quality medical translations within set time and cost: physicians? translators with/without medical background? physicians with translation background? or translators, specializing in medical translations? The aim of this thesis is to go a step further in this perspective of thinking and find out the answers of the following questions: "what does it take to become a medical translator and who are the experts?".
(Non-)/conformity in translation: Who (non-)/conforms to what, when, how and why?
With the paradigm shift that happened in translation in the '70s, many of the concepts in translation studies have been modified or altogether replaced. One of the concepts that has been introduced to the field is the concept of (non-)conformity. (Non-)Conformity, along with the other concepts, brought about new perspectives to the field and helped improve the field. Additionally, academics suggested that these concepts be used in translator training, and gradually academics and trainers around the world implemented the concepts in their courses. However, the theories and concepts have been criticized from different angles by different scholars. Although the critiques touch upon certain valid points, they don't offer any implications as to how the theories and the concepts should be further modified. This dissertation analyzes the translation theories in terms of (non-)conformity, presents the criticism directed towards those theories, and in light of certain case studies, questions the validity of both the theories and the criticism. As a result, the dissertation offers certain suggestions into how the concept may be applied to translator training.
