  • The Kelly Gang
    ADLER ENTERTAINMENT presenta una produzione PORCHLIGHT FILMS e DAYBREAK PICTURES The Kelly Gang Diretto da JUSTIN KURZEL Scritto da SHAUN GRANT con GEORGE MACKAY ESSIE DAVIS NICHOLAS HOULT ORLANDO SCHWERDT THOMASIN HARCOURT MCKENZIE SEAN KEENAN EARL CAVE MARLON WILLIAMS LOUIS HEWISON con CHARLIE HUNNAM e RUSSELL CROWE Ispirato al romanzo LA BALLATA DI NED KELLY di Peter Carey (vincitore del Booker Prize), THE KELLY GANG di Justin Kurzel demolisce il mito della famigerata icona, rivelando la verità sulla vita di Ned Kelly e concentrando lo sguardo sulle ceneri del suo violento passato. Attraverso la descrizione dei primi anni di vita di Ned fino agli eventi che portarono alla sua morte, la pellicola esplora i labili confini tra il bene e il male, e le ragioni della caduta di questo personaggio. Giovinezza e tragedia si scontrano all’interno della Gang di Kelly, ma al centro di questo racconto c’è soprattutto l’amore lacerante tra una madre e un figlio. UFFICIO STAMPA FILM Marianna Giorgi +39 338 1946062 [email protected] SINOSSI Nel 2000 LA BALLATA DI NED KELLY, il romanzo di Peter Carey vincitore del Booker prize, demolì il mito dietro al più famoso fuorilegge australiano, costringendo un paese intero a fare i conti col proprio passato. Mai un romanzo è arrivato così vicino a rivelare la cruda e potente verità su Ned Kelly, e ora attraverso lo sguardo visionario di Justin Kurzel, finalmente potremo vedere un film che rifiuta luoghi comuni e sentimentalismi, e che invece ci trasporta nel mondo di questo straordinario fuorilegge, calandoci assieme a lui nella sua tragica discesa nel cuore delle tenebre.

  • Paul Hanna at Stanford University
    4 Paul Hanna at Stanford University At Stanford University, Paul Hanna became a leading figure in American education. There he solidified his growing academic rep- utation and parlayed that reputation into entrepreneurial efforts that benefited both the university and himself. He established him- self as a writer and developer of school textbooks and as a consultant to school systems across the United States and around the world. Sometimes those interests overlapped. His entrepreneurial skills helped shore up Stanford’s shaky finances during the war years and enriched both the Hannas themselves and the friends that he brought into his business endeavors. While at Stanford, Hanna became intrigued with the instru- mental use of schools to promote democracy on a global scale. He served as a consultant to governments in many foreign countries and founded an institute to study education as a tool in international development and to prepare policy makers in its use. Ironically, this scion of democratic education came under fire from forces on the political right wing for his associations with progressive educators at Stanford and Columbia Universities.

  • Crossing Swords While Crossing Boundaries: Teaching Translation Through Intermedial Translation Slams
    transLogos 2021 Vol 4 Issue 1 Gouleti, Katerina, and Vasiliki Misiou, pp. 1–25 © Diye Global Communications https://dx.doi.org/10.29228/transLogos.29 diye.com.tr | [email protected] Crossing Swords while Crossing Boundaries: Teaching Translation through Intermedial Translation Slams Katerina GOULETI*and Vasiliki MISIOU** This paper discusses a cross-curricular translation project conducted within the framework of the literary translation and interlingual audiovisual translation (undergraduate) courses taught at the School of English, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The project was part of an optional module on literary translation and subtitling where students had to translate and subtitle into Greek some extracts of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and the relevant screenplay. The present paper thus explores the outcome of an online intermedial translation slam, a ‘duel,’ between student-translators and student- subtitlers, who were asked to look at translation through another lens. Slamming is, thereby, viewed as a tool that can enhance the skills of literary translation and subtitling students, inviting them to participate in a thought-provoking process sharing and apposing insights, comparing and juxtaposing ideas, while being involved in an exchange of meaning and understanding. How does the interrelationship between different modes and media affect the choices literary translators and subtitlers make? What happens when a novel migrates into another language twice within the discursive spaces of intermedial dialogue? What are the benefits of engaging students in collaborative work and exposing them to simulated/real-life tasks? These are some of the questions that the paper will address and attempt to answer. The overarching goal is to examine the potential and advantages of integrating translation slams in a project-based approach to teaching and training literary translators and subtitlers within an academic framework.
