Abstract
The subject of this paper is a traductological analysis of a self-retranslation, that is, of two translations of the comic book Asterix and the Banquet into Serbian (by Đorđe Dimitrijević) with the aim of testing the validity of Antoine Berman’s retranslation hypothesis which states that translations that are temporally closer to the source are oriented towards the target culture, whereas translations with a greater temporal distance are oriented towards the source culture. The analysis of the corpus confirmed Berman’s hypothesis considering the fact that the two analyzed translations are essentially different – in the first version, the translator used the strategy of domestication, whereas in the second version, the translator opted for foreignization and thus provided a new perspective of the work and managed to preserve the humor of the source text. Unlike the first version where free translation was the dominant procedure, the second version of the translation saw the reintroduction of parts omitted in the first version, as well as the modernization of certain elements with the aim of adapting them for the target audience by predominately using literal translation.
