| This study examines hybridity in translation through a case study of Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America. It analyzes how American and Iranian cultural references are rendered in the Persian translation and how these choices shape the hybrid character of the text for different readerships. Based on Newmark’s (1988) model, the English source text and its Persian translation are compared to identify the translation strategies applied to cultural references from both contexts. The findings show that material culture, such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, constitutes the most prominent category of cultural references. Transference is the most frequently used strategy overall, particularly for American references, indicating a predominantly foreignizing approach. In contrast, Iranian cultural references are more often translated through cultural equivalence and reduction. Interpreted in light of Venuti’s (1995) concepts of domestication and foreignization, the results suggest that the translator preserves the hybrid nature of the memoir by maintaining the foreignness of American elements while reducing familiar Iranian ones. With the exception of one omitted chapter, the translation remains largely faithful to the source text, reinforcing the memoir’s cross-cultural hybridity. | ||
