Abstract

The study explores the necessity of re-evaluating and refining the Fidelity Theory to address emerging challenges and gaps identified in its current framework. Fidelity Theory, which focuses on the accuracy and reliability of translations, adaptations, and representations across different contexts, is examined through a critical lens. The study identifies several key areas where the theory falls short, including its application to modern digital media, the impact of cultural nuances, and the evolving nature of language itself. By proposing a re-construction of the theoretical model, the paper aims to enhance its relevance and effectiveness in contemporary settings. This involves integrating interdisciplinary insights and addressing practical concerns that have surfaced in recent scholarship and practice. The ultimate goal is to create a more robust framework that better captures the complexities of fidelity in a diverse and rapidly changing world.
