Adaptación cinematográfica y traducción al castellano de aspectos eclesiásticos en L’écume des jours, de Boris Vian

Abstract

This article aims at showing how social critique is presented in the translated versions and film adaptations of literary works. Beyond lexical wealth, translators and film directors tend to forget the importance of the social approach of the writers. They might even not simply oversee it, but get involved in a kind of censorship. It is precisely what we perceive in L’écume des jours by Boris Vian. This research helped us to contrast the translations of the book in Spanish and to analyse its adaptations to the cinema, focusing mainly on religious references.
