Sažetak
The work focuses on the semantic shifts that appear in translating intertext and intermedial components in narratives, and which pose specific problems in the translation process. These phenomena are described and defined in the context of translating literature. Intertextuality and intermediality often appear in children’s literature. These two phenomena are similar because they both depend on (at least) two sources of information which are combined in the resulting complexity of meanings. They can also have implications for the understanding of a narrative at the level of detail, of a thematic item, or of the narrative as a whole. Intertextual and intermedial meanings may be overseen by translators, or various translation strategies may be applied to mediate the original meanings or to introduce acceptable semantic shifts in the target text. Intertexts and intermedial meanings found in Carroll’s Alice books are detected in Croatian translations and analysed to describe strategies adopted by different translators. The results contribute to a better understanding of the phenomena of intertext and of intermedial meanings and their position in the semantic structure of translated narrative in general, and in translations of children’s literature in particular.
