Like Glenda, the Good Witch of the North. Starbucks in one hand, two Asian-American women assistants trailing in his wake, a Chanel scarf waving from his back pocket. Uniqlo has closed this store, in the Beverly Center, for an event: About thirty homeless kids have been given a shopping spree. Pharrell Williams, who of course collaborates on a clothing line with Uniqlo, is the surprise guest. He takes a picture with a girl in a her royal smurfness T-shirt and checks out jeans with a kid in a Lakers jersey. Truth be told, a lot of these kids don’t seem to know who he is. Most 7-year-olds don’t even know what a celebrity is. They don’t know that this is the man who, not long ago, was responsible for 43 percent of songs played on the radio in a single month; they probably don’t watch The Voice, where Pharrell is a celebrity “coach”; they don’t listen to “Blurred Lines” and know, hey, the genius behind that song wasn’t Robin Thicke, it was longtime super-producer and current pop star Pharrell Williams; and they don’t know that his 2014 album, Girl, is up for an album- of-the-year Grammy.

  • Bojack Horseman, Keith Uhlich, Netflix, the Single Take, Whiplash
    Home Contact Previous Contributors NOVEMBER 13, 2014 by KEITH UHLICH The Single Take THE SINGLE TAKE BOJACK HORSEMAN, KEITH UHLICH, NETFLIX, THE SINGLE TAKE, WHIPLASH BoJack Horseman and Whiplash The Black Stallion. Dark Horse. You Mustang Be Joking. Any of those (well, maybe not that last one…yikes!) would be good alternate titles for Netflix’s, ahem, bleak beauty BoJack Horseman(now streaming). I’ve watched the first season three times through, and this 12-episode ode to fear, anxiety, and depression has gotten funnier, sadder, and more incisive with each viewing. (A second series is currently in production and it’s got a tough act to follow.) Plenty of comedies go the mortification route, though even the best of them —like Louie or Arrested Development—I can only subject myself to once. BoJack’s lash cuts as deep, yet for whatever reason I’m happy to watch an anthropomorphized horse scrape the barrel-bottom, then count the days until I can restart his abasement. “Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider,” wrote Saint Augustine, but what happens when a steed is his own straphanger? Creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg and character designer Lisa Hanawalt have conceived of a colorful (and very R-rated) universe in which men, women and beasts live side by side and fuck top to bottom. BoJack (voiced by Will Arnett) is a beer-bellied former sitcom actor living off the residuals from his hit ’90s television series Horsin’ Around, a comedy about three cute orphans adopted by a cheerful, sweater-wearing bronco.

  • Estudio Comparativo De La Subtitulación Del Lenguaje Ofensivo Y Tabú En Bojack Horseman
    Estudio comparativo de la subtitulación del lenguaje ofensivo y tabú en BoJack Horseman Nombre: Jose Alcorisa Domínguez Línea de investigación: Traducción audiovisual Tutor(a): Cristóbal Cabeza Cáceres Fecha: 25 de julio de 2017 Trabajo de Fin de Grado de Traducción e Interpretación Facultad de Filosofía y Letras Estudio comparativo de la subtitulación del lenguaje ofensivo y tabú en BoJack Horseman Jose Alcorisa Domínguez [email protected] RESUMEN El presente trabajo se trata del análisis del tratamiento del lenguaje ofensivo y tabú en la subtitulación de la serie de animación BoJack Horseman, emitida por la plataforma en línea Netflix. El lenguaje ofensivo y tabú es una de las cuestiones que más problemas crea a los traductores audiovisuales. Debido a la diferencia cultural entre dos lenguas, el inglés y el español en este caso, conseguir expresar la carga e intencionalidad de un elemento ofensivo, al igual que mantener el efecto que este crea en el espectador, significa una ardua tarea. Además, en el caso de la subtitulación, los traductores deben respetar unas restricciones técnicas que dificultan aún más la fidelidad al original. Mediante un marco teórico-práctico de los diferentes ámbitos, realizamos un estudio comparativo para identificar las tendencias que se han seguido a la hora de trasvasar este tipo de lenguaje. ABSTRACT “A comparative study on offensive and taboo language in BoJack Horseman’s Spanish subtitles” This project is an analysis of the offensive and taboo language processing in the Spanish subtitles of the animated series BoJack Horseman, which is broadcasted in Netflix, an online audiovisual platform. Offensive and taboo language is one of the most problematic issues in audiovisual translation.

Creative Commons License Wild Animation: From the Looney Tunes to Bojack Horseman in Cartoon Los Angeles 1 Wild Animation: From the Looney Tunes to Bojack Horseman in Cartoon Los Angeles Laurel Schmuck The figure for nature in language, animal, was transformed in cinema to the name for movement in technology, animation. And if animals were denied capacity for language, animals as filmic organisms were themselves turned into languages, or at least, into semiotic facilities. The medium provided an alternative to the natural environment that had been destroyed and a supplement to the discursive space that had never opened an ontology of the animal. (Lippit 196-197) 1 BoJack Horseman (Netflix, 2014–), an animated adult television show about a washed-up actor who happens to be a horse, imagines Los Angeles as home to a society of humans and animals living together as equals. Creatures such as cats, turtles, giraffes, and giant insects sport human fashions and work human jobs, but they all retain some of their most stereotypical animal attributes.
