  • Intermedialtranslation As Circulation
    Journal of World Literature 5 (2020) 568–586 brill.com/jwl Intermedial Translation as Circulation Chu Tien-wen, Taiwan New Cinema, and Taiwan Literature Jessica Siu-yin Yeung soas University of London, London, UK [email protected] Abstract We generally believe that literature first circulates nationally and then scales up through translation and reception at an international level. In contrast, I argue that Taiwan literature first attained international acclaim through intermedial translation during the New Cinema period (1982–90) and was only then subsequently recognized nationally. These intermedial translations included not only adaptations of literature for film, but also collaborations between authors who acted as screenwriters and film- makers. The films resulting from these collaborations repositioned Taiwan as a mul- tilingual, multicultural and democratic nation. These shifts in media facilitated the circulation of these new narratives. Filmmakers could circumvent censorship at home and reach international audiences at Western film festivals. The international success ensured the wide circulation of these narratives in Taiwan. Keywords Taiwan – screenplay – film – allegory – cultural policy 1 Introduction We normally think of literature as circulating beyond the context in which it is written when it obtains national renown, which subsequently leads to interna- tional recognition through translation. In this article, I argue that the contem- porary Taiwanese writer, Chu Tien-wen (b. 1956)’s short stories and screenplays first attained international acclaim through the mode of intermedial transla- tion during the New Cinema period (1982–90) before they gained recognition © jessica siu-yin yeung, 2020 | doi:10.1163/24056480-00504005 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the cc by 4.0Downloaded license.

  • Giacomo Casanova
    Giacomo Casanova Sergio Mejía Macía Con recurso a la película de Federico Fellini Fellini’s Casanova y a la autobiografía del veneciano, Histoire de ma vie Este texto teatral sobre la vida de Giacomo Casanova (1725­1798) toma préstamos, sin pudor ni economía, de la película Fellini’s Ca­ sanova, producida por Alberto Grimaldi y Twentieth Century Fox en 1976, sobre guión escrito a cuatro manos por Bernardino Zapponi y Federico Fellini y dirigida por el último. Consulté sin método la autobiografía de Casanova, escrita en francés con el título Histoire de ma vie y publicada por primera vez en Leipzig entre 1822 y 1824, en traducción alemana. Utilicé la edición francesa establecida por Francis Lacassin, publicada por la casa parisina de Robert Lafront en 1993. Las tres primeras escenas corresponden a episodios de la Histoire de ma vie no incluidos en la película de Fellini. Las restantes siete son interpretaciones libres de episodios tratados por Fellini, todos ellos tergiversados por una lectura muy personal de la Histoire de ma vie, obra a su vez muy personal. Se incluyen traducciones libres,de fragmentos de los siguientes poemas: ­ Ariosto, Orlando Furioso, Canto Segundo, primera Estanza; Canto Cuarto, sexta Estanza ­ Torcuato Tasso, Noches 36 Artes, La Revista, Nº. 12 Volumen 6/ julio­diciembre, 2006 Personajes Casanova viejo Henriette Una flaca alta La monja de Murano Casanova joven Cinco cortesanos (tres Una pelirroja baja Una condesa mujeres y dos hombres) Casanova niño Dos prostitutas Cinco monjas Madame d’Urfé Marzia, la abuela Una

  • Challenging Casanova: Moving Beyond the Notion That “Boys Just Want Sex”
    ACT for Youth Center of Excellence A collaboration of Cornell University, University of Rochester, and New York State Center for School Safety Challenging Casanova: Moving beyond the notion that “boys just want sex” by Andrew Smiler, PhD According to popular culture, teenage boys want sex, not relationships. They don’t care with whom, where, or when it happens, as long as it doesn’t require any kind of emotional commitment or relationship. This image is so embedded in our culture that it’s the default presentation of many male rap performers in their music videos and it’s got its own (sub) genre of films. It’s the primary, if not only, depiction of male sexuality in abstinence-only education (Santelli et al., 2006). This image is damaging to boys, and acceptance of the behaviors that go along with it harms both boys and girls. We can do better. Why do we need a different image of male sexuality? There are several problems with this image of young men’s sexuality. First, it’s true only for a minority of boys (Smiler, 2013). Even though only about 15 - 20% of boys have three or more partners in any given year (Dariotis et al., 2008; Humblet, Paul, & Dickson, 2003), we expect most, if not all, boys to be highly promiscuous. In essence, we tell the majority of boys they’re not normal. Instead of validating their desire for sexual contact within a relational context, we send boys the message that they’re somehow atypical. Girls are also taught that this image of male sexuality is the norm, and thus encouraged to develop a “defensive sexuality” (Tolman, 2002) that focuses on controlling boys’ sexuality instead of attending to their own sexual preferences, interests, and pleasures.

  • Frozen by Mary Casanova
    Mary authorCasanova of books for young people Frozen by Mary Casanova A young woman’s struggle to speak for herself—no matter the risks Sixteen-year-old Sadie Rose hasn’t spoken in eleven years—ever since she was found in a snowbank the night her mother died under strange circumstances. Frozen is a suspenseful, moving testimonial to the power of family and memory and the extraordinary strength of a young woman who has lost her voice in nearly every way, but is determined to find it again. Interview Q&A with Mary Casanova Q. What surprised you while you were writing Frozen? A. When I set off to discover Sadie Rose's story, I hadn't intended to weave her quest for identity into the backdrop of a budding environmentalist fighting against a powerful industrialist. Though I'd always been fascinated by the real battle between Earnest Oberholtzer and E.W. Backus, it wasn't something I intended to write about. As they started to step onto the stage, I had to allow them into the story. I was at first hesitant, as it wasn't the story I'd intended--but then, I think stories that course through a writer's veins need to be allowed to go where they will. I had to let go and see where the story wanted to take me.) Once part of the plot, I had to keep these characters in their place. Men, you know, always trying to take over control. Ha! This was, I kept reminding myself, Sadie Rose's story and journey.

  • 1 Casanova's Celebrity: a Case Study of Well-Knownness in 18Th -Century
    Casanova’s Celebrity: a Case Study of Well-knownness in 18th-century Europe Nicola Jody Vinovrski BA(Hons) LLB GDipPLEAT DALF A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 School of Languages and Cultures Centre for the History of European Discourses 1 Abstract Giacomo Casanova was born on 2 April 1725 in Venice and died in Dux, Bohemia on 4 June 1798. The voluminous manuscript of his memoirs, written in French, was recently acquired by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France for approximately £6 million, demonstrating the cultural significance of those memoirs today. The purchase resulted in an exhibition, the publication and reprinting of many of Casanova’s own writings and numerous new works about Casanova since 2010. The timing of this thesis coincides with a renewed academic interest in Casanova. Popular interest in him has been fairly constant since the 19th century. Given his interesting life story and the fact that he still interests international publics today, we might ask: Was he famous in his own time? Was he a celebrity? What is the difference between these two things? In historical accounts of fame and celebrity theory, it is argued that older models of fame (associated with merit or achievement) preceded the relatively recent phenomenon of celebrity (associated with artifice, media manipulation and a distinct lack of achievement). Historical studies of fame, or particular instances of it by scholars of the 18th century, focus on figures whose fame can be tied to a particular achievement or ascribed status, for example authors, politicians, actors, artists, composers, musicians and monarchs.
