Abstract

Venuti equates domesticating, fluent translation with the apparent elision of the translation process itself, rendering it invisible. I would like to suggest, however, that extreme forms of domestication, paradoxically, can achieve the opposite effect, foregrounding the translation. This article outlines various domesticating strategies, touching on the trend of translocation in audiovisual products but concentrating on Frédéric Beigbeder's novel 99 francs and its English translation where the setting of the novel is transposed from Paris to London.
