translation and film
Spring 2011-2012
EAS 352 / COM 348 (LA) na, npdf
Language in Film: Expression and Translation
Kerim Yasar
We will employ both historical and theoretical approaches to explore the subtleties of filmic dialogue, the reciprocally sustaining and contrapuntal relationships between word and image in the cinematic text, the history of film translation, and the conditions--linguistic, technological, social, and economic--within which screenplays are written and produced, and within which subtitling and dubbing take place. The syllabus will focus primarily on Japan and the United States, but students will be encouraged to draw upon their knowledge of other traditions as well.

what was socialism, and what comes next? Katherine Verdery
p15 transition vs transformation
"a time of transformation the countries that have emerged from socialism"
p12 "I see my overall theme as exploring how the operation of socialism influences what comes next"
p64 socialist paternalism constructed its "nation" on on implicit view of society as a family, headed by a "wise" party that, in a paternal guise, made all the family's allocative decisions s to who should produce what and who should receive what reward-- thus a "parent state".
p65 One might say that it broke open the nuclear family, socialized significant elements of reproduction even while leaving women responsible for the rest, and usurped certain patriarchal functions and responsibilities, thereby altering the relation between gendered "domestic" and "public" spheres familiar from nineteenth-century capitalism.
