Antoine Berman, a theorist in the field of translation studies, believes that some events happen in translation, especially prose translation, which could be categorized under thirteen titles. He believes that using negative analysis method, we can examine these thirteen categories in translated texts. Implementing this theory on two Arabic translations of Sadegh Hedayat's novel , TheBlind Owl, by Al-Dasughi and Adas, we try to prove that this theory can be considered as universals of translation. The analysis of these translations shows that all the thirteen titles exist in the translated novel except for beautification. The reason for not achieving beautification in the translation of this novel is because it is a modern prose; since the objective of the author and thus the translator of the novel is far from beautifying and using stylistic devices. Finally, despite some drawbacks in implementation, the theory has a relatively efficient framework for reviewing translated texts and can be considered among universals of translation.

Love in loud voice is a translation of a selection of poems by Nazar Qobbani, a famous Syrian poet, which has been translated by Ahmad Pouri from English into Persian language. In the process of this literary translation from Arabic into English, and then into Persian, there have been some changes in the dominant discourses on the text that can be observed, including religious, national- ethnic and structure-breaking and political discourse that have been changed or eliminated in the process of the translation. In this paper, we are going to examine the original and translated text based on discourse analysis and then, analyzing the change of Socioculturalelements in the process of translation. What we see in this study indicates that in this translation, in the discourses such as national, ethnic, political, structure-breaking and religious ones, the changes like deletion, selection versus an inappropriate equivalent, and sometimes changes to eliminate the tension existing in the original text has been made consciously.
