Abstract

This work consists of an analysis about the translation of a Turma da Mônica and the cultural aspects translated to English, Monica’s Gang. Through translation and culture studies from authors such as Jakobson (1959); Bassnett (1980); Oustinoff (2011); we could identify landmarks of Brazilian culture that was maintained on the English translation. Therefore, the dialogues from the four main characters from Monica’s Gang ( Jimmy Five, Monica, Maggy and Smudge) were compared to the ones from A turma da Mônica (Cebolinha, Mônica, Magali e Cascão) designed by the cartoonist Maurício de Sousa, trying to see where it will go the national landmark was maintained in English.
