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. Sample reading list: Yasujiro Ozu, Late Spring Jean-Luc Godard, Pierrot le Fou David Milch, Deadwood Paul Schrader, Mishima Sarah Kozloff, Overhearing Film Dialogue Markus Nornes, Cinema Babel: Translating Global Cinema

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.
