In the several Japanese versions of William Wyler’s feature film, Catherine Earnshaw is often presented in translation through a linguistic identity that indexes a series of stereotypes around which the style of Japanese women’s language has crystallized.

Abstract

In the several Japanese versions of William Wyler’s feature film, Catherine Earnshaw is often presented in translation through a linguistic identity that indexes a series of stereotypes around which the style of Japanese women’s language has crystallized. On the basis of four Japanese versions of Wuthering Heights and starting from contemporary sociolinguistics studies, I will try to highlight how Japanese subtitling and dubbing have contributed – thanks to the mediation of foreign bodies – to converge towards the strategy of adaptation with the aim of consolidating gender discrimination which is still difficult to eradicate in contemporary Japanese society.
