  • Le Traitement Médiatique Des Sports D'hiver : Approche Comparée France/Pays Scandinaves
    ÉCOLE DU JOURNALISME Mastère 2 Journalisme Sportif *** LE TRAITEMENT MÉDIATIQUE DES SPORTS D’HIVER : APPROCHE COMPARÉE FRANCE/PAYS SCANDINAVES Mémoire présenté et soutenu par M. Florian Burgaud *** Année universitaire 2019/2020 REMERCIEMENTS Je remercie chaleureusement Christophe Colette qui m’a aiguillé pendant mes recherches. Je remercie aussi toutes les personnes qui m’ont aidé, de près ou de loin, pour la rédaction de ce mémoire. Un immense merci aux journalistes et aux autres personnes qui ont accepté de répondre à mes questions, à mes interrogations sur le traitement médiatique des sports d’hiver en France et dans les pays scandinaves. Un grand merci, donc, à tous : Nils Christian Mangelrød, Marcus Lindqvist, Viljam Brodahl, Jean-Pierre Bidet, Marc Ventouillac, Franck Lacroix, Sverker Sörlin et Nicolas Mayer. Merci aussi à Arne Idland pour son aide sur le Blink Festival. Merci à tous pour la confiance que vous m’avez accordée. Merci, enfin, à l’École Du Journalisme de Nice de m’avoir permis d’écrire ce mémoire sur un sujet s’insérant parfaitement dans mon projet professionnel. 1 RÉSUMÉ Lors de chaque édition des Jeux olympiques d’hiver, les audiences mesurées par Médiamétrie sont incroyablement élevées – jusqu’à 16 millions de personnes en 1992 pour le programme court féminin de patinage artistique. En partant du constat que les Français aiment les sports d’hiver mais qu’ils sont quasiment invisibles dans le paysage médiatique, à part le biathlon depuis quelques années, nous avons réalisé une approche comparée avec le traitement que les médias scandinaves font des sports d’hiver. Là-bas, les fondeurs et les hockeyeurs, notamment, sont de véritables stars traquées par les journalistes et les sports blancs font la une des journaux toute l’année.

  • Authorial and Editorial Voices in Translation
    Authorial and Editorial Voices in Translation Wednesday 2nd November 2011 - KUA Auditorium 23.0.49 Michelle Woods: Sense and Censorship: Authors and the Agents of Change In 1969, Milan Kundera sent an angry public denunciation of his English publishers to the Times Literary Supplement, comparing them to the "Moscow censors" who had delayed the publication of his first novel, The Joke, for two years, and who would ban all his work in Czechoslovakia in 1970. Kundera suggested that the substantial cuts to the text, and reworking of the novel's chronology, amounted to a form of market censorship by the editors and publisher. Kundera is well-known for his antipathy to translators, but in fact much of his ire focused on the editing of his translations, performed by people with no knowledge of the language or culture behind his work, and whose bottom line rested on selling a commercially viable product. To what extent can the work of those handling translations - editors, publishers, directors, producers - become a form of censorship? Is is possible, or even helpful, to speak of censorship when looking at the work done to translations, once the actual translation work has been completed? What kind of changes are made to translations before they are published or performed? Is there an ideological context behind those changes even in free and democratic societies? Are form and style a battleground in an increasingly homogenous notion of what good, commercially viable writing is? In this paper, I want to use the examples of two Czech writers: Milan Kundera and Václav Havel, to examine the pressures placed on translators and writers by those other agents (or, as Maria Tymoczko writes, "external constraints").

The agreement focuses on training courses linked both to themes of the Universal Exposition and to Italy's participation in the event which, following the postponement of a year linked to the Covid -19 pandemic, will open its doors on 1 October 2021. The protocol launches a collaboration aimed at planning activities, initiatives and events to be carried out before and during Expo Dubai whose theme is "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future" and in which Italy takes part with the claim "Beauty connects People". Specifically, the protocol aims to foster, in the Mediterranean area and with nations participating in the Universal Exposition, international academic and cultural exchanges on new skills, including digital skills, in addition to Expo themes. The agreement between IULM and the Commissioner's Office aims to encourage the participation of the world of academe, research centres and stakeholders in Expo by organising seminars, workshops and forums on topics of common https://italyexpo2020.it/ Italy’s Commissioner's Office for Expo 2020 Dubai For information: Communications Department Italy’s Commissioner's Office at Expo 2020 Dubai [email protected] For IULM University: Press Office Elisa B.

NE6 2PA Companies House United Kingdom Fax +44 (0)191 265 2056 Reg. Number: 4333775. VAT Number: 108280727. Shakespeare 2021: The Modernity of his Poetry and Prose in our Current Age Collection Editor: Menotti Lerro Description Some authors are definitely immortals. When we think about them, we often suppose that everything has already been said. This is false. Each author needs to be read and discussed again and again in every new historical period. For this reason it is interesting to look at William Shakespeare’s poetry and prose from a modern perspective. In this volume, new scholars demonstrate the importance of re-approaching one of the most influential authors who ever existed, from the point-of-view of bright, contemporary theories. About the Editor Menotti Lerro taught English Literature and English Culture and Civilization at the University of Linguistic Mediation (Unimed) of Milan, Italy, and gave lessons at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, IULM University of Milan and the University of Reading, UK. He received a Master of Arts from the University of Reading in 2007, and a PhD from the University of Salerno, Italy. Author of about 30 volumes of literature, in 2016 he was awarded with a “Special Mention” in the three selected authors for literature for the Italian National Prize “100 Italian excellences”.

  • European Commission
    EVROPSKA KOMISIJA SPOROČILO ZA MEDIJE Bruselj, 2. junija 2014 60 univerz prejelo znak „evropski magistrski študij prevajanja“ Evropska komisija je objavila seznam univerz, ki jim bo podelila znak kakovosti „evropski magistrski študij prevajanja“ (EMT). Znak EMT, ki se podeljuje najboljšim magistrskim študijem prevajanja, bo prejelo več kot 60 institucij iz 21 držav članic. Glavni namen EMT je izboljšati usposabljanje prevajalcev ter pritegniti najboljše prevajalce za delo v evropskih institucijah. Izbrane univerze se lahko za naslednjih pet let vključijo v mrežo EMT, prejmejo pa tudi sredstva za udeležbo predavateljev na letni konferenci in seminarjih mreže. „Evropski magistrski študij prevajanja je referenca kakovosti na področju usposabljanja prevajalcev,“ je dejala evropska komisarka za izobraževanje, kulturo, večjezičnost in mlade Androulla Vassiliou. „Deluje kot platforma za izmenjavo dobrih praks in sodelovanje z univerzami in jezikovno industrijo. Kakovostno usposabljanje v visokem šolstvu je osnova za prevajalske storitve, ki jih zagotavljajo evropske institucije.“ EMT spodbuja izmenjavo najboljših praks med univerzami, izboljšanje standardov poučevanja, učne načrte, ki upoštevajo potrebe trga za izboljšanje zaposljivosti diplomantov, ter oblikovanje pravega evropskega trga dela za kvalificirane prevajalce. Komisija je za znak EMT prejela 114 vlog iz 25 držav članic EU in 3 drugih držav. Vloge so na podlagi strogih meril ocenili akademski strokovnjaki. Izbrali so študijske programe z 62 univerz v 21 državah članicah, dva programa iz Švice pa sta dobila status opazovalca. Število poslanih vlog odraža vse večjo priljubljenost projekta med univerzami. Na razpisu leta 2010 je Komisija prejela 93 vlog, izbranih pa je bilo 54 programov. Naslednji razpis je predviden za konec leta 2019. Ozadje Evropski magistrski študij prevajanja (EMT) je partnerski projekt med Evropsko komisijo in visokošolskimi institucijami, ki ponujajo magistrski študij prevajanja.
