Regarding Subtitles: Canadian Newspaper Coverage (May 2014-2018) Regarding Subtitles: Canadian Newspaper Coverage (May 2014-2018) Jean-Philippe Deneault University of Alberta Submitted to the Faculty of Extension, University of Alberta in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of the Arts in Communications and Technology August 27, 2018 2 REGARDING SUBTITLES: CANADIAN NEWSPAPER COVERAGE (MAY 2014-2018) Acknowledgements I would like to thank my capstone supervisor, Dr. Rob Shields, and my academic advisor, Dr. Gordon Gow, the faculty and staff of the MACT program, Mr. Denis Lacroix, Interim Head of Bibliothèque Saint-Jean, and my friends, family and colleagues for their patience, support and guidance. 3 REGARDING SUBTITLES: CANADIAN NEWSPAPER COVERAGE (MAY 2014-2018) Abstract “I want to watch a film, not read it” is a familiar catchphrase used by those who loathe watching subtitled movies. A number of comments made recently in the media describe a noticeable shift towards a more positive attitude to subtitled productions and greater acceptance, or awareness, of subtitles among viewers worldwide. What about Canadians? Has their attitude towards subtitled films also changed? Was this reported in the Canadian news? How has the sentiment towards subtitles been reported and expressed recently in Canadian media? What are the views and relevant topics of discussion regarding subtitles in the Canadian context? An online search was conducted through various databases between May 01, 2018 and May 04, 2018 and the results found in contemporary Canadian news articles were measured against findings from a mix of primary and secondary sources, which include the scholarly literature dealing with subtitle appreciation and consumption throughout cinematographic history. The contemporary materials consist of the most recent commentaries and critical evaluations regarding subtitled productions, both online and in traditional media, in Canada and abroad. Has the sentiment towards subtitles changed with time, succeeding generations and the advent of supranational streaming media companies like Netflix, and what does this mean in the Canadian context? Understanding the sentiment, belief or knowledge of an individual or group about a given subject and identifying what causes that sentiment to change is far more complex. This study undertakes to achieve that understanding and identify the causes through a content analysis of Canadian newspapers that will reveal these attitudinal shifts within the Canadian context.

Simply put, subtitles for film and television provide a translation that gives access to the dialogue to audiences who can’t understand or hear the language of the original. In the early 2000s, during my brief career as a video store clerk in a suburb of Canada’s capital, I often heard the same response when I recommended a subtitled film to a customer: “I want to watch a film, not read it.” I asked myself what were the reasons for this

  • Alain Simard
    Alain Simard Chairman of the Board of L'Équipe Spectra, FrancoFolies de Montréal and Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, and Founding President Emeritus de MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE Founder of three festivals One of the pioneers and leaders of the Canadian music industry, Alain Simard has been a builder of Quebec's culture for nearly 50 years. His passionate work as a manager, agent, concert and festival promoter, recording and television producer as well as avenue owner has contributed to the development and professionalization of our cultural industry and has generated extraordinary artistic, social, economic and touristic benefits for Montreal and Canada. The trail-blazing promoter When he was 18 years old, he opened a live concert café, La Clef, and organized pop festivals featuring the first Montreal underground bands, some of which he managed. From 1971, with Kosmos productions, he was the first to promote British groups Genesis, Gentle Giant, Pink Floyd and Procol Harum in Eastern Canada and initiated the midnight shows in Cinéma Outremont with several international artists. In 1977, he organized Harmonium’s L’Heptade only arena tour and founded Spectra Scène (which would become L’Équipe Spectra in 1992) with André Ménard and Denyse McCann. Together, they launched the Cinéma Saint-Denis as a venue, followed by El Casino club and soon the legendary Spectrum de Montréal in 1983. Alain Simard and Spectra were also behind the transformation of the Métropolis (formerly a nightclub) into a venue in 1997, the renovation and reopening of the Théâtre Outremont in 2001 and the creation of the L’Astral concert club in the seven-storey Maison du Festival de Jazz.

  • Unsettling the White Noise: Deconstructing the Nation-Building
    Unsettling the White Noise: Deconstructing the Nation-Building Project of CBC Radio One’s Canada Reads By Emily M. Burns A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in the Department of Gender Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August, 2012 Copyright @ Emily M. Burns, 2012 Abstract The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Canada Reads program, based on the popular television show Survivor, welcomes five Canadian personalities to defend one Canadian book, per year, that they believe all Canadians should read. The program signifies a common discourse in Canada as a nation-state regarding its own lack of coherent and fixed identity, and can be understood as a nationalist project. I am working with Canada Reads as an existing archive, utilizing materials as both individual and interconnected entities in a larger and ongoing process of cultural production – and it is important to note that it is impossible to separate cultural production from cultural consumption. Each year offers a different set of insights that can be consumed in their own right, which is why this project is written in the present tense. Focusing on the first ten years of the Canada Reads competition, I argue that Canada Reads plays a specific and calculated role in the CBC’s goal of nation-building: one that obfuscates repressive national histories and legacies and instead promotes the transformative powers of literacy as that which can conquer historical and contemporary inequalities of all types. This research lays bare the imagined and idealized ‘communities’ of Canada Reads audiences that the CBC wishes to reflect in its programming, and complicates this construction as one that abdicates contemporary responsibilities of settlers.
