The Hours (2002) is a film that was produced in the early 21st century, based on Michael Cunningham’s eponymous novel, published in 1998. The film holds great value from a feminist perspective as it addresses highly relevant issues within gender studies. These topics include societal expectations for each gender, identity, homosexuality and
discrimination, the idealization of motherhood under the concept of the angel in the house, mental health and its relationship with gender, and sisterhood. Additionally, intertextuality plays a key role, as one of the main characteristics of The Hours is its constant reference to Virginia Woolf ’s Mrs. Dalloway. The main objective of this study has been to
analyse, from a translational, philological, and intertextual perspective, the translation into Spanish and French of a selection of scenes dealing with two essential themes: motherhood and mental health. The scenes comprised in the corpus underwent linguistic and translational analysis. On one hand, the content analysis had a triple purpose: addressing the
content from feminist literary criticism, Cognitive Linguistics, and intertextuality to explore the selected corpus from a gender perspective, examining translations from a contrastive viewpoint focusing on aspects related to translation and cognition, and investigating the intertextual relationships established, mainly with Mrs. Dalloway. On the other hand, the
translational analysis focused on the translational study of the English and French translations, exploring how different challenges associated with the spatiotemporal constraints of subtitling were addressed. Regarding the results, significant differences were found between the French and Spanish translations. In the case of French, expansion and embellishment techniques were chosen, while in the case of the Spanish translation, the translation remained close to the original.
