Motoko Kusanagi: the Japanese Superwoman a Comparative Film Analysis of Rupert Sanders’ and Mamoru Oshii’S Ghost in the Shell
Motoko Kusanagi: the Japanese Superwoman A comparative film analysis of Rupert Sanders’ and Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell Janina Ida Maria Ikäheimo Bachelor’s seminar and thesis (682285A) English philology, Faculty of Humanities University of Oulu Spring 2019 1 Abstrakti/Abstract Tässä kandintyössä tutkitaan Mamoru Oshiin ja Rupert Sandersin filmatisointeja Masamune Shirow’n Ghost in the Shell –mangasta. Hollywood on kuluneiden aikojen saatossa tuottanut useita uudelleenfilmatisointeja japanilaisista kulttiklassikoista: usein vaikka alkuperäinen elokuva ja päähenkilöt ovat japanilaisia, hahmot sekä miljöö vaihdetaan amerikkalaisiksi. Tarkastelen Ghost in the Shell -elokuvaa, joka on uudelleenfilmatisointi samannimisestä japanilaisesta animaatioelokuvasta. Elokuva sijoittuu yhä Japaniin, mutta pääosa näyttelijöistä on kaukaasialaisia. Ghost in the Shell oli aikanaan merkittävä elokuva vahvan aasialaisen naispäähenkilönsä johdosta. Päämääränäni on tutkia, miten elokuvissa näkyvä orientalismi ja oksidentalismi, eli idän ja lännen stereotypiat, sekä elokuvan näyttelijöiden etnisen taustan muuttaminen vaikuttavat päähenkilön hahmoon. Tutkin myös päähenkilön identiteettiä aasialaisena naisena, ja miten se muuttuu, kun näyttelijä vaihtuu amerikkalaiseen. Katsoin alkuperäisen vuonna 1995 ilmestyneen elokuvan japaninkielisellä ääniraidalla ja englanninkielisillä teksteillä, ja uuden, vuoden 2017 filmatisoinnin englanninkielisellä ääniraidalla. Hyödynnän tutkimuksessani artikkeleita liittyen animen historiaan, sekä rodun ja sukupuolen näkymiseen -

A ação é uma parceria firmada entre o curso de Cinema e a Biblioteca Universitária da instituição. Ao promover quinzenalmente exibições comentadas de filmes, o Cinema Mundo procura estimular o debate crítico de forma horizontal entre os es- pectadores, sofisticar o olhar da comunidade para a experiência cinemato- gráfica e, ainda, produzir conhecimento acadêmico, fatores que produzem a desejada articulação entre a atividade extensionista, o ensino e a pesquisa. A coleção Cadernos de Crítica, publicação própria do projeto, é o modo pelo qual podemos difundir o conhecimento produzido para além das fronteiras locais. Editado com base nas curadorias semestrais do Cinema Mundo, cada volume é disponibilizado em formato e-book e de forma inteiramente gratui- ta no site institucional do projeto: http://cinemamundo.cce.ufsc.br/publicacoes/ Sobre o volume O presente volume, Cinema e distopia, é resultante da curadoria do ano de 2018, cujo objetivo foi oferecer ao público uma amostragem dos modos de se pensar as distopias na narrativa cinematográfica. -

Strategy and Style in English and French Translations of Japanese Comic Books
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 463 675 FL 027 239 AUTHOR Howell, Peter TITLE Strategy and Style in English and French Translations of Japanese Comic Books. PUB DATE 2001-00-00 NOTE 12p.; For complete journal issue, see FL 027 235. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Journal Articles (080) Reports Descriptive (141) JOURNAL CIT Edinburgh Working Papers in Applied Linguistics; n11 p59-66 2001 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Comics (Publications); Cultural Differences; *Cultural Influences; French; Japanese; *Translation ABSTRACT This article explores translation strategies in English and French versions of Japanese comic books, comparing English and French dialogue text regarding local color, atmospherics, and characterization. Section 1 describes Japanese comic books. Section 2 examines translation strategies. Sections 3 and 4 discuss local color and character locus (translation of culture-specific items and of non-standard dialect and foreigner talk). Section 5 discusses the translation of register (situations of language use) .Section 6 highlights comic book character role (the soldier, schoolgirl, and vamp) .Section 7 discusses atmospherics (jargonization) .Section 8 concludes that American translators used naturalizing strategies, both culturally (name changes and insertion of references to American culture) and linguistically (stereotypical use of dialects and use of heavily marked register). Strategies used in the French versions are less naturalizing than those used in the American versions. Culturally, they are more foreignizing in conserving names and culture-specific items. Linguistically, in some translations, transfers and calques from the English version are used, and as a result, the dialogue reads like a translation, but not from the Japanese original. Other French translations reveal linguistic neutralization with regard to dialect and register. -

There are other things brewing and growing in the oceanic vat. It pays to know this. It pays to know that there is just as much future as there is past. The only thing that doesn't pay is to be sure of man's own part in it. There are things down there still coming ashore. Never make the mistake of thinking life is now adjusted for eternity. -

The idea of artificial life created from inanimate materials has always fascinated human beings. Since Science Fiction emerged as a genre, it extended to explore fears and desires that run deep within our cultures.Sophisticated dimensions were further added to the genrewith the invention of cybernetics in the 1960s and the subsequent emergence of cyberpunk in the 80s, but it could be argued -
Where's My Jet Pack?
Where's My Jet Pack? Online Communication Practices and Media Frames of the Emergent Voluntary Cyborg Subculture By Tamara Banbury A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Legal Studies Faculty of Public Affairs Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2019 Tamara Banbury Abstract Voluntary cyborgs embed technology into their bodies for purposes of enhancement or augmentation. These voluntary cyborgs gather in online forums and are negotiating the elements of subculture formation with varying degrees of success. The voluntary cyborg community is unusual in subculture studies due to the desire for mainstream acceptance and widespread adoption of their practices. How voluntary cyborg practices are framed in media articles can affect how cyborgian practices are viewed and ultimately, accepted or denied by those outside the voluntary cyborg subculture. Key Words: cyborg, subculture, implants, community, technology, subdermal, chips, media frames, online forums, voluntary ii Acknowledgements The process of researching and writing a thesis is not a solo endeavour, no matter how much it may feel that way at times. This thesis is no exception and if it weren’t for the advice, feedback, and support from a number of people, this thesis would still just be a dream and not a reality. I want to acknowledge the institutions and the people at those institutions who have helped fund my research over the last year — I was honoured to receive one of the coveted Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarships for master’s students from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. -
