Their commitment to this project and their guidance have been crucial to keep the focus and point in the right direction. It has been a privilege and I feel honoured to have been given the opportunity to work with them. I owe a big word of thanks to Frederick Aldama, Arts and Humanities Distinguished Professor of English and University Distinguished Scholar at The Ohio State University. He kindly accepted to supervise my work during my research stay in that university. But, above all, I will never be able to thank him enough for his hospitality. Special aknowledgments to the following people and institutions for providing their help on various fundamental aspects of my thesis: Staff members of the American Film Institute, the Film Archive at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Library of Congress and the UCLA, who aided me in the search of any clue regarding 1917’s Great Expectations. Staff members of Det Danske Filminstitut, who kindly provided me with a copy of the film Store Forventninger and its original script. Thanks to Leonhard Gmür, who solved the mistery of the supposed adaptation of Great Expectations from 1973. It has been a long, arduous and mostly solitary road before going this far. However, this would not have been possible without the warmth and encouragement of these friends of mine. I want to recognize in particular Belén Gutiérrez and Ina Bottger, who offered their insight and useful writing critiques along the way. My deepest gratitude to my family, for believing in my work and teaching me to never give up. To my lovely mother, the strongest person I have ever met. To my beloved father, always present, somewhere, somehow. This thesis is especially dedicated to Pipo, whose kind and pure heart has taught me the most important lessons in life. People believes I am your master. They just don’t know how wrong they are. 13 Abstract Great Expectations on Screen. A Critical Study of Film Adaptation explores the influence of political, economic and sociocultural factors when adapting a novel to a film. The main objective is to put forth a means to analyse novel-to-film adaptations far beyond traditional questions and criterions applied to this area of research, such as originality or faithfulness either to the letter or to the spirit of the source text. Truly enough, for many decades, debates concerning adaptation studies have revolved around questions of fidelity

  • Med Pay/Pip Subrogation in All 50 States
    MATTHIESEN, WICKERT & LEHRER, S.C. Hartford, WI ❖ New Orleans, LA ❖ Orange County, CA ❖ Austin, TX ❖ Jacksonville, FL Phone: (800) 637-9176 [email protected] www.mwl-law.com MED PAY/PIP SUBROGATION IN ALL 50 STATES From 1971 to 1976, in an effort to hold down the cost of automobile insurance, 16 states enacted no-fault automobile insurance laws which featured two key components: (1) the compulsory purchase of first-party no-fault coverage for medical benefits and loss of income for drivers and passengers (usually referred to as Personal Injury Protection or PIP benefits); and (2) limited third-party tort liability of negligent drivers. Three other states enacted similar no-fault laws during this time period, without limiting tort liability. Instead of “Med Pay” or “PIP”, some states use other terms, such as “Basic Reparation Benefits”, but the concept is the same. The no-fault experiment has received mixed reviews over the past 30 years. There have been no states since 1976 who have adopted no-fault and several states have completely repealed their no-fault laws. Advocates of no-fault argue that it reduces litigation costs and payment for non-economic (pain and suffering, etc.) damages, and provides faster payment for losses. Opponents argue that no-fault unfairly benefits negligent drivers and point to statistics which show that rather than decreasing insurance premiums, it increases premiums. While PIP benefits are usually associated with “no-fault” automobile insurance, Med Pay benefits usually are not. Although subrogation of these two types of auto insurance benefits has become big business, there is still significant misunderstanding and confusion as to these two types of benefits, and when and under what circumstances they can be subrogated.

    FREE LONDON IN THE SIXTIES PDF Rainer Metzger | 368 pages | 06 Feb 2012 | Thames & Hudson Ltd | 9780500515631 | English | London, United Kingdom London s overview | Britannica We were a good two years into the s before we really began to feel that we had moved London in the Sixties from post-war austerity. By the end ofmost of us at last felt able to celebrate the prospects of more prosperous times ahead. Britain was in a post-war boom period and unemployment was very London in the Sixties. British goods and services were in great demand and we had a thriving manufacturing industry. The majority of ordinary working people had much more disposable income than their predecessors and were financially better off and more able to enjoy life. We were now living in peaceful times and although our country was saddled with wartime debt there was a greater sense of optimism and adventure, especially among the younger generation who were keen to embrace any new ideas that might help improve the mood of the country and even change the established British way of life. It started in Britain and changes happened very quickly. We were by now rapidly distancing ourselves from what we considered to be the dull and staid fifties culture. It was these earlys pop-groups that paved the way for an abundance of other British groups and solo artists to make their own breakthroughs in the music industry. It was not long before the fame of these and other London based fashion entrepreneurs spread around the world. England and more especially London quickly became a magnet for tourists from all over the globe.

  • Magwitch's Revenge on Society in Great Expectations
    Magwitch’s Revenge on Society in Great Expectations Kyoko Yamamoto Introduction By the light of torches, we saw the black Hulk lying out a little way from the mud of the shore, like a wicked Noah’s ark. Cribbed and barred and moored by massive rusty chains, the prison-ship seemed in my young eyes to be ironed like the prisoners (Chapter 5, p.34). The sight of the Hulk is one of the most impressive scenes in Great Expectations. Magwitch, a convict, who was destined to meet Pip at the churchyard, was dragged back by a surgeon and solders to the hulk floating on the Thames. Pip and Joe kept a close watch on it. Magwitch spent some days in his hulk and then was sent to New South Wales as a convict sentenced to life transportation. He decided to work hard and make Pip a gentleman in return for the kindness offered to him by this little boy. He devoted himself to hard work at New South Wales, and eventually made a fortune. Magwitch’s life is full of enigma. We do not know much about how he went through the hardships in the hulk and at NSW. What were his difficulties to make money? And again, could it be possible that a convict transported for life to Australia might succeed in life and come back to his homeland? To make the matter more complicated, he, with his money, wants to make Pip a gentleman, a mere apprentice to a blacksmith, partly as a kind of revenge on society which has continuously looked down upon a wretched convict.

  • Film Tourism in India – a Beginning Towards Unlocking Its Potential
    Film tourism in India – a beginning towards unlocking its potential FICCI Shoot at Site 2019 13 March 2019 Film tourism is a growing phenomenon worldwide, fueled by both the growth of the entertainment industry and the increase in international travel. Film tourism sector has seen tremendous growth in the past few years. It represents a gateway to new and more intense ways of experiencing destinations. At the same time, it creates the potential for new communities by way of an exchange of insights, knowledge and experience among the tourists themselves. Films play a significant role in the promotion of tourism in various countries and different states of India. A film tourist is attracted by the first-hand experience of the location captured on the silver screen. Not only is film tourism an excellent vehicle for destination marketing, it also presents new product development opportunities, such as location tours, film museums, exhibitions and the theme of existing tourist attractions with a film connection. This report focusses on the concept of film tourism and the various initiatives taken by both the state and central government of India for boosting film induced tourism through their respective film production policies. Dilip Chenoy Secretary General - Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foreword The significance of cinema in today’s times has gone beyond its intended purpose of mass entertainment. Cinema is a portal for people to escape from reality and into their world of fantasy. Cinema is a source of inspiration for some, a source of entertainment for some and a source of education for some.

  • Norms Governing the Dialect Translation of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations: an English-Greek Perspective
    International Linguistics Research; Vol. 1, No. 1; 2018 ISSN 2576-2974 E-ISSN 2576-2982 https://doi.org/10.30560/ilr.v1n1p49 Norms Governing the Dialect Translation of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations: An English-Greek Perspective Despoina Panou1 1 Department of Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting, Ionian University, Greece Correspondence: Despoina Panou, Department of Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting, Ionian University, Greece. E-mail: [email protected] Received: March 11, 2018; Accepted: March 28, 2018; Published: April 16, 2018 Abstract This paper aims to investigate the norms governing the translation of fiction from English into Greek by critically examining two Greek translations of Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expectations. One is by Pavlina Pampoudi (Patakis, 2016) and the other, is by Thanasis Zavalos (Minoas, 2017). Particular attention is paid to dialect translation and special emphasis is placed on the language used by one of the novel’s prominent characters, namely, Abel Magwitch. In particular, twenty instances of Abel Magwitch’s dialect are chosen in an effort to provide an in-depth analysis of the dialect-translation strategies employed as well as possible reasons governing such choices. It is argued that both translators favour standardisation in their target texts, thus eliminating any language variants present in the source text. The conclusion argues that societal factors as well as the commissioning policies of publishing houses influence to a great extent the translators’ behaviour, and consequently, the dialect-translation strategies adopted. Hence, greater emphasis on the extra-linguistic, sociological context is necessary for a thorough consideration of the complexities of English-Greek dialect translation of fiction.
