11. Summarize thenew resultsof the thesis:
Firstly, the thesis identifies the nature of intersemiotic translation, distinguishes it from other types/styles of translation, and affirms that intersemiotic translation is an interdisciplinary approach with prospects in the study of art forms in general and literature and film in particular.
Secondly, the thesis points out the characteristics of intersemiotic-intercultural translation from F. Dostoevsky's works to film adaptations in terms of aesthetic imagery and art forms through three films by three directors from different Asian cultures.
Thirdly, the thesis identifies the factors influencing directors' translation strategies, namely cultural context and social issues, audience aesthetic tastes, and directorial style. The translation mechanism involves freely rewriting source texts with a localization strategy and a cultural negotiation nature.
Fourth, the thesis proposes a model of intersymbolic-intercultural transformation with an interactive mechanism of multi-valued parameters. This model can be used as a reference for studies on the translation of works belonging to one art form and culture into works belonging to another art form and culture.
12. Practical applications:
To serve as a reference for learning, research, and teaching activities in film adaptation, inter-symbolic and intercultural translation in particular, and literature and film in general, at universities and colleges.
