Abstract/Résumé
Cet article explore l'importance des aspects culturels dans le processus traductif. Il se base sur les quatres problèmes traductionnels proposés par Christine Nord, et met en lumièregrâce à l'examen d'une bande dessinée japonaise bien connue- le lien entre le problème traductionnel et la signification culturel. Ce démarche finit par démontrer les avantages du modèle Nordien et révèle que tous les quatres problèmes traductionnels de Nord sont liés aux aspects culturels.
