View/Open: Tianyuan.Pdf FANSUB CYBER CULTURE IN CHINA A Master’s Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture and Technology By Yuan Tian, Bachelor of Arts Washington, DC April 26, 2011 Copyright 2011 by Yuan Tian All Rights Reserved ii FANSUB CYBER CULTURE IN CHINA Yuan Tian, Bachelor of Arts Thesis Advisor: Mirjana N. Dedaic, PhD. ABSTRACT With the popularization of Internet in China, fansubbing foreign movies or television programs became a rising phenomenon in Chinese cyberspace. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese netizens organized as fansub groups work collaboratively subbing foreign mass media products and put them online for free downloading. This thesis investigates the fansubbing practice and constitution of these Chinese fansubbers of American TV shows - a unique Internet community of practice and affinity, which is, by definition, also a community of interculturality. Through a longitudinal participant observation in the community and my experience in watching the fansubbed shows, I analyze the textual characteristics of fansubtitles of American TV shows, attributing its difference from traditional audio-visual translation and its interculturality catering to the demand of the members of the community. My analysis also centers on the intercultural features of fansubbing community, which shows that the fansubbing practice that bridges and reflects both American and Chinese cultures shapes its members’ identities construction, in terms of their language, sense of humor, and national and international personalities. Based on these, I argue that this particular cyber community contributes to the process of globalization, which in turn help to influence and precipitate China’s cultural and even political reform. iii The research and writing of this thesis is dedicated to my beloved advisor Mirjana N. Dedaic for all of the support, guidance, and love she provided along the way. I am grateful to the members of the fansubbing community for agreeing to be interviewed, for providing information and friendship during my fieldwork, and for their hard work that enriches millions of Chinese people’s life. Many thanks to all my friends, especially to Nuo Zhao, Yingzhen Zhao, and Katherine Dale for their great help, support and encouragement in accomplishing my thesis. I would also like to give my special thanks to my parents, Li Tian and Zhongling Zhao, for their love and dedication during my study in the United States. Their positive attitude towards life and their belief in me have given me the confidence and courage to follow my inclinations.

  • Practical Transcription and Transliteration: Eastern-Slavonic View 35-56
    GOVOR 32 (2015), 1 35 Pregledni rad Rukopis primljen 20. 4. 2015. Prihvaćen za tisak 25. 9. 2015. Maksym O. Vakulenko [email protected] Ukrainian Lingua‐Information Fund, Kiev Ukraine Practical transcription and transliteration: Eastern‐Slavonic view Summary This article discusses basic transcripition approaches of foreign and borrowed words in Ukrainian, Russian, and Belarusian; Ukrainian words in Latin script. It is argued that the adopted and foreign words should be rendered on different bases, namely by invariant transcription and transliteration. Also, the current problems of implementation of the Ukrainian Latinics as an international graphical presentation of Ukrainian, are analyzed. The scholarly grounded simple-correspondent transliteration system for Belarusian, Russian, and Ukrainian, is given in the paper. Key words: transcription, transliteration, Cyrillic script, latinization, foreign words 36 M. O. Vakulenko: Practical transcription and transliteration: Eastern-Slavonic view 35-56 1. INTRODUCTION Spelling of the words coming from another language is perhaps the most controversial issue in linguistics, so it is important to find a consistent scholarly approach to their proper rendering. There are two basic ways to do so: transcription and transliteration. Professionals should be able to render (transcribe) sounds, that is to know the "physics" (acoustics) of language. They need also to record the letters (phonemes) correctly – "literate" and transliterate – so to master the language "algebra". The subtleties of both approaches

In the United States this growth has been based on copyright infringement, where fans have subtitled anime series and released them as fansubs. In the absence of official releases fansubs have created the current popularity of anime, which companies can now benefit from. From the beginning the companies have tolerated and even encouraged the fan activity, partly because the fans have followed their own rules, intended to stop the distribution of fansubs after official licensing. The work explores the history and current situation of fansubs, and seeks to explain how these practices adopted by fans have arisen, why both fans and companies accept them and act according to them, and whether the situation is sustainable. Keywords: Japanese animation, anime, fansub, copyright, piracy Tiivistelmä Piratismia vai tuottavuutta: laittomat toimintatavat animen fanikäännöksissä Japanilaisen animaation eli animen suosio maailmalla on lyhyessä ajassa kasvanut räjähdysmäisesti. Tämä kasvu on Yhdysvalloissa perustunut tekijänoikeuksien rikkomiseen, missä fanit ovat tekstittäneet animesarjoja itse ja julkaisseet ne fanikäännöksinä. Virallisten julkaisujen puutteessa fanikäännökset ovat luoneet animen nykyisen suosion, jota yhtiöt voivat nyt hyödyntää. Yhtiöt ovat alusta asti sietäneet ja jopa kannustaneet fanien toimia, osaksi koska fanit ovat noudattaneet omia sääntöjään, joiden on tarkoitus estää fanikäännösten levitys virallisen lisensoinnin jälkeen.

  • Incorporating Fansubbers Into Corporate Capitalism on Viki.Com
    “A Community Unlike Any Other”: Incorporating Fansubbers into Corporate Capitalism on Viki.com Taylore Nicole Woodhouse TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin Spring 2018 __________________________________________ Dr. Suzanne Scott Department of Radio-Television-Film Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Dr. Youjeong Oh Department of Asian Studies Second Reader ABSTRACT Author: Taylore Nicole Woodhouse Title: “A Community Unlike Another Other”: Incorporating Fansubbers into Corporate Capitalism on Viki.com Supervising Professors: Dr. Suzanne Scott and Dr. Youjeong Oh Viki.com, founded in 2008, is a streaming site that offers Korean (and other East Asian) television programs with subtitles in a variety of languages. Unlike other K-drama distribution sites that serve audiences outside of South Korea, Viki utilizes fan-volunteers, called fansubbers, as laborers to produce its subtitles. Fan subtitling and distribution of foreign language media in the United States is a rich fan practice dating back to the 1980s, and Viki is the first corporate entity that has harnessed the productive power of fansubbers. In this thesis, I investigate how Viki has been able to capture the enthusiasm and productive capacity of fansubbers. Particularly, I examine how Viki has been able to monetize fansubbing in while still staying competitive with sites who employee trained, professional translators. I argue that Viki has succeeded in courting fansubbers as laborers by co-opting the concept of the “fan community.” I focus on how Viki strategically speaks about the community and builds its site to facilitate the functioning of its community so as to encourage fansubbers to view themselves as semi-professional laborers instead of amateur fans.

  • Presenting to Elementary School Students Sample Script #1
    Presenting to Elementary School Students These sample presentations, tips, and exercises that can be adapted for your needs. If you do use any of these materials, please be sure to acknowledge the author’s contribution appropriately. Sample Script #1 Please acknowledge: Lillian Clementi Please note that this presentation incorporates a number of ideas contributed by other people. Special thanks to Barbara Bell and Amanda Ennis. Length. The typical elementary school presentation is about 20 minutes, though you may have less for Career Day or more if you're doing a special presentation for a language class. There are several interactive exercises to choose from at the end: adapt the script to your needs by adding or eliminating material. Level. This is pitched largely to third or fourth grade. I usually start with the more basic exercises and then go on to the next if I have time and the group seems to be following me. For younger children, simply make them aware of other languages and focus on getting the first two or three points across. For fifth graders, you may want to make the presentation a little more sophisticated by incorporating some of the material from the middle school page. Logistics. It's helpful to transfer the script to index cards (numbered so they're easy to put back in order if they're dropped!). Because they're easier to hold than sheets of paper, they allow you to move around the room more freely, and you can simply reshuffle them or eliminate cards if you need to change your material at the last minute.

In this article, the author intends to analyze Gideon Toury’s theory of translation studies and focuses on norm to show that controlled by a specific translation norm, translators tend to take a specific translation strategy, which would be helpful for readers to better understand different translated editions. Index Terms—descriptive translation studies, translation strategy, translation norm I.

As soon as it was distributed, it became the best seller, and was sold over 2,000,000 copies that year. In 1937, it won Pulitzer Prize and the Prize of American Publishers’ Association.

  • Fansub and Auto-Generated Subtitle: Indication of Translation Popular Culture?
    Fansub and Auto-Generated Subtitle: Indication of Translation Popular Culture? Bayu Budiharjo1, Nur Saptaningsih2 {[email protected], [email protected]} Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta1, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta2 Abstract. Subtitling has been a common practice and it develops over time. Subtitle, along with the advancement of technology, enables more people to perform subtitling activities and involves more products of technology. Fan subtitle (fansub) emerges as subtitling softwares can be owned and used by anyone. Automatically-generated subtitle is also nowadays available. The former is characterized by variances as indications of elements of popular culture while the latter deals with contemporary aspects of people‘s lives and is highly technological. This study attempts to initiate the idea of popular culture within translation. The studied material takes form of subtitle texts in movie uploaded on YouTube entitled Big Stan. Analysis was done to uncover features of the two types of subtitling practices and link them up to features of popular culture. The result reveals that fansub and YouTube auto-generated subtitle show features of popular culture. Keywords: fansub, auto-translated subtitle, YouTube, popular culture. 1. Introduction Subtitling practices have long been carried out in many countries in the world. Over time, subtitling is no longer only done to meet the needs of institutions and television stations and is no longer done by professionals who work for such institutions. Subtitling developed from what was once (and is until now) the realm of professional to the one entered by dilettantes. Subtitling has long been a realm of fans, which began with the awakening of groups of anime fans known as fansubbers.

Translation has been classified by Lawrence Venuti into “domestication” and “foreignization”. This research attempted to compare the translation typologies rendered by House and Venuti. House’ and Venuti’s translation typologies are similar in 8 points and differ in 4 ones. Overt translation corresponds to foreignization and covert translation to domestication. Dichotomy is neither superior nor inferior to the others. Keywords: Overt Translation, Covert Translation, Foreignization, Domestication, Cultural Filter, Translator’s Invisibility 1. Introduction Communication is a complex and dynamic process. It has a message sender and a message receiver. The former encodes the meaning into a form that the latter recognizes. The receiver decodes the form back into meaningful messages.

  • Domestication and Foreignisation in Dubbing and Subtitling of Duncan Jones‟ English Movie Warcraft Into Persian [PP: 162-170] Dr
    Domestication and Foreignisation in Dubbing and Subtitling of Duncan Jones‟ English Movie Warcraft into Persian [PP: 162-170] Dr. Razieh Eslamieh Nillofar Javankhah Islamic Azad University, Parand Branch Iran ABSTRACT The present paper studies diverse procedures related to Venuti‟s strategies of domestication and foreignisation in Farsi dubbing and subtitling of the English movie, Warcraft directed by Duncan Jones. The procedures of both domestication and foreignisation were studied and statically analysed for the purpose of exploring the film translation method (dubbing or subtitling) which is closer to target- language-culture and the one which is closer to source-language-culture. In other words it was intended to explore which translation strategy (domestication or foreignisation) dominates dubbing and which one dominates subtitling. The tertiary purpose was to compare the reasons of differences in dubbing versus subtitling on the one hand, and the reasons of differences of the target text from the source text. The statistical analysis revealed that in dubbing, cultural equivalence is the most frequently used procedure (38.26%) apparently for making the movie visible for the public Iranian audience and adjust the movie to cultural considerations. Henceforth, dubbing orients to domestication. However, subtitling, with literal translation as the most frequently used procedure (57.4%), orients to foreignisation. In dubbing of the movie, most differences are related to cultural equivalence (38.26%) and the literal translation (29.56%) is in the next step. An interesting point is that the procedure of calque is neither used in subtitling nor in dubbing. In subtitling, cultural equivalence stands in the second place (17.34) and explanation (9.50%) occupies the third place.
