Signed: Alban Webb ABSTRACT The Second World War had radically changed the focus of the BBC's overseas operation from providing an imperial service in English only, to that of a global broadcaster speaking to the world in over forty different languages. The end of that conflict saw the BBC's External Services, as they became known, re-engineered for a world at peace, but it was not long before splits in the international community caused the postwar geopolitical landscape to shift, plunging the world into a cold war. At the British government's insistence a re-calibration of the External Services' broadcasting remit was undertaken, particularly in its broadcasts to Central and Eastern Europe, to adapt its output to this new and emerging world order.

Now, half a century on, the Radiophonic Workshop are festival material. Meet the sound effect visionaries whose jobs came with a health warning. On a mission … a recording session in 1962. Photograph: BBC Photo Library In 1957, just before the broadcast of a radio show called Private Dreams and Public Nightmares, a warning was sent to BBC engineers. “Don’t attempt to alter anything that sounds strange,” it said. “It’s meant to sound that way.” The BBC was also worried about the public. Donald McWhinnie, the programme’s maker, made an explanatory statement, ending with the cheerful signoff: “One thought does occur – would it not be more illuminating to play the whole thing backwards?” Radiophonic sound was now in the public domain. A year later, to the bewilderment of many, the BBC dedicated a whole workshop to this avant-garde stuff, even giving it a home in an old ice rink: Maida Vale Studios. Years later, the Queen, shaking hands with the Workshop’s creator, Desmond Briscoe, would confirm its universal success with the words: “Ah yes, Doctor Who.” But what is radiophonic sound – and why did it need a workshop? Radiophonics owes everything to the invention of the tape recorder. Once you could capture sound, using a workable material, you could play with it: slow it down until it thundered, feed it back on itself until it shrieked and echoed, or simply slice bits out.

  • Translation in Journalism: the Practices of Multilingual Foreign Correspondents

    Translation in Journalism: the Practices of Multilingual Foreign Correspondents

    TRANSLATION IN JOURNALISM: THE PRACTICES OF MULTILINGUAL FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS Alexa Ahern Dr. Jeanne Abbott, Chair ANALYSIS Introduction Language translation in journalism demands trust. When readers in the U.S. sit down to read a New York Times story about refugees in Idomeni camp on the border of Macedonia, they are reading words that have been passed through many gatekeepers. One gatekeeper is often invisible — the translator. They aren’t seeing the exact words spoken by a Syrian refugee or a Macedonian border patrol agent or a Greek volunteer. The words have been translated by a journalist or interpreter, and the reader trusts that one or both have translated the words correctly. They trust that they are essentially reading exactly what the quoted source said. But translation isn’t that simple. It’s more complicated than knowing the Arabic word for “ocean” or the Greek word for “refugee.” Translators and journalists must interpret nuance in language — idioms, expressions, implications, sarcasm and slang, not to mention gestures and emotions. In his 1992 essay Traduttore, Traditore, which roughly means “the translator is a traitor” in Italian because a translator can easily obscure truth in translation without readers knowing, John Tusa, former director of the BBC World Service, wrote, “Translators then are not simply traitors. They are more complex than that — they are jugglers, conjurers, mind readers, psychologists, games players, poets, social scientists. At the end they are cultural porters, offering the use of one language an imaginative equivalence of the meaning expressed in another. The question is not whether they get it wrong.

Page 2 of 299 Declaration of Authorship I Annabelle Angela Lan Lee hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 28 April 2017 Page 3 of 299 Page intentionally left blank. Page 4 of 299 Abstract With the re-emergence of social media in the 2000s and the increased worldwide usage of mobile devices, the impact of social media still cannot be ignored. From corporate businesses to popular culture, social media are now used in many sectors of society. Not least among these is the classical music industry. Artists and organisations have keenly capitalised on social media in the face of increasing budgetary reductions in the arts and long-held elitist perceptions of classical music. In addition, the classical music business has used social media to profit from economic growth, audiences, and public profiles, and to market accessibility, relevance, and value to a wider audience, notably, younger demographics and non-attenders. As a result, the classical music scene tries to engender technological determinism and digital optimism, ideologies reflecting discourses around Web 2.0/social media. Simultaneously, a so-called ‘digital divide’ is at risk. Various factors, for example, socioeconomic strata, greatly influence how classical music is marketed and branded on social media networks, however, they are barriers to access and enjoyment of the art, online and offline.
