Abstract [en]

This study explores the elements that can or must be changed in a film or television series for it to be successfully adapted and translated into other languages, in order to be accepted and understood by other cultures. By conducting two focus groups and individual interviews with experts in the matter, this study demonstrates that film and television can be an intercultural communication tool that serves as a bridge between different cultures, breaking the barriers and providing an understanding of one another’s norms. Moreover, creating a clear perception of a culture in either an educational or entertaining manner.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie utforskar de element som kan eller måste ändras i en film eller tv-serie för att den ska kunna anpassas och översättas till andra språk, för att accepteras och förstås av andra kulturer. Genom att genomföra två fokusgrupper och individuella intervjuer med experter på området visar denna studie att film och tv kan vara ett interkulturellt kommunikationsverktyg som fungerar som en bro mellan olika kulturer, bryter barriärerna och ger förståelse för varandras normer. Dessutom skapa en tydlig uppfattning om en kultur på antingen ett pedagogiskt eller underhållande sätt.
