Cross-Cultural Analysis of Lost In Translation
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
In the globalized world, there are many people who live in two different languages and thus in two different cultures. The coming-closer of the world has faded the linguistic and cultural borders. This cultural inter-mingling is what Eva Hoffman’s novel ‘Lost In Translation’ talks about. This essay will look at the cross-cultural aspects with reference to different theories from Ruben (1976), Bennett (1993), Byram (1997), etc. The focus would mainly be on the key intercultural challenges faced by the author and the forms of intercultural competence the author shows in dealing with these challenges.
