  • From Real Time to Reel Time: the Films of John Schlesinger
    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.

  • Developing Translingual and Transcultural Competence Through Pedagogic Subtitling
    LINGUACULTURE 1, 2015 DEVELOPING TRANSLINGUAL AND TRANSCULTURAL COMPETENCE THROUGH PEDAGOGIC SUBTITLING SARA LAVIOSA University of Bari Abstract This paper expounds a language pedagogy that is framed within the ecological perspective on language learning elaborated by Leo van Lier (2000, 2004) and Claire Kramsch (2009, 2010) and adopts Maria Tymoczko’s (2007) holistic approach to cultural translation.Next, I report on a case study where the proposed methodology was integrated in the syllabus design of a 3-credit module I taught as part of a professional development course attended by secondary school EFL teachers at the University of Bari during the 2013-2014 academic year. Students analysed and translated salient scenes from the bilingual drama La stella che non c’è/The Missing Star (directed by Gianni Amelio, 2006). In so doing, they unveiled the connectedness between language and culture and how they both are “discursively constructed” in social contexts(van Lier, The Ecology 184). Keywords:ecological approach, symbolic competence, transcultural competence, subtitling A Multilingual Language Pedagogy The pedagogy I put forward in this study is framed within the ecological perspective elaborated by Leo van Lier and Claire Kramsch. This approach embraces the idea that language is a semiotic ecosystem that co-operates with other meaning-making processes. It therefore focuses on the study of “language as relations (of thought, action, power), rather than as objects (words, sentences, rules). It also relates verbal utterances to other aspects

    lunedì 05 martedì 13 mercoledì 25 giovedì 35 venerdì 45 sabato 57 Una iniziativa promossa da Regione Lazio Associazione Produttori Televisivi Camera di Commercio di Roma In collaborazione con Provincia di Roma Sviluppo Lazio ICE RAI e MEDIASET RomaFictionFest Il festival È da qualche anno che circola l’idea di organizzare anche in Italia un festival interamente dedicato alla fiction televisiva italiana e internazionale. Io stesso fui artefice, nel 2001, del progetto di creare al Lido di Venezia un evento del genere. Nacque nel marzo del 2002, e anche allora coinvolse l’APT, l’associazione dei produttori televisivi. Un discreto programma di telefilm, serie e miniserie, molta buona volontà ma scarsissimi mezzi. Durò una sola edizione. Venezia forse non era la città più adatta, la stagione era certamente sbagliata e, soprattutto, i finanziamenti risultarono risibili. Quando la Regione Lazio e l’APT decisero di dar vita su solide basi al festival della televisione a Roma - la città del cinema, ma anche, e sempre di più, della fiction televisiva, un’industria che nel Lazio dà lavoro a quasi centomila persone: da qui soprattutto l’attenzione della Regione - compresi che era stata fatta, finalmente, la scelta giusta. E a fine gennaio scorso accettai l’invito a dirigerlo. Ed ecco il RomaFictionFest, alla sua prima difficile, come tutte le prime, ma esaltante edizione con qualche centinaio di titoli - prescelti con un immenso lavoro fra le oltre tremila ore pervenuteci da tutto il mondo - inseriti in un programma intenso e variegato che consente di cogliere e mettere a confronto le tendenze, le tematiche, i linguaggi, le potenzialità e le differenti culture delle televisioni di gran parte del globo.
