1.A Bottom up Scheme of Domestication and Foreignization by Davies 2003
The bottom up scheme as drawn in Figure 1 as proposed by Davies 2003 shows that the ideology in certain text can be traced from the strategies
employed by the translator. The scheme shows that preservation and addition strategy are under foreignization ideology, while localization, transformation,
and creation are under domestication ideology. The globalization and omission strategies are changeable since they can be under foreignization or
domestication ideology, based on the contextual consideration. Therefore, in this research, globalization and omission strategies are placed under
domestication ideology since all of the analyzed data under these strategies tend to domestication.
B. Previous Related Studies
This research is guided by the previous studies which analyze the notions of foreignization and domestication in film translation conducted by a
researcher, Ligita Judickaitė 2009, and also a study conducted by Erys
Shandra 2014 which assessed the ideological tendency of proper nouns traced from the techniques which are applied. Both studies help the researcher
gains any suitable sources related to the research and also comparing the final
result to the previous studies, whether it will be in line or the opposite. The former which was conducted by
Ligita Judickaitė 2009 was analyzing the notions of foreignization and domestication applied to film translation:
analysis of subtitles in cartoon Ratatouille. The analysis is related to English culture-specific items and their translation strategies used in cartoon
Ratatouille. The latter study was conducted by Erys Shandra 2014, an English Language and Literature student of State University of Yogyakarta
which analyzed ideological tendency assessed from the translation techniques applied through the proper nouns in Joanne k. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer’s Stone and its bahasa Indonesia translation Harry Potter dan Batu Bertuah.
