Gendered Reporting Verbs in the Italian Translation of Harry Potter
Original language description
This chapter investigates how translation affects gender representations in the Italian version of the Harry Potter book. It uses a corpus stylistic approach to study reporting verbs in the Italian translations in order to: (i) examine whether and to what extent the gendered constructions identified in the original are present in the Italian version of the series; and (ii) analyse the effects that the translators' choices have on the original's gendered representations. With the help of a keyword analysis the Italian verbs used in relation to the three protagonists of the novels - Harry, Ron and Hermione are compared. The Italian translation mirrors gender stereotypes already present in the original novels; however, these gendered representations are more consistent and marked in translation. This chapter not only expands the study of gender in Harry Potter to Italian, but it also contributes to redressing a gap in our understanding of the part translation plays in the transmission of the books' gender ideologies.
