Discussion and Conclusion ............................................................................................... 68 References ................................................................................................................................ 74 A COMPARISON OF TRANSLATION PROCEDURES 3 Abstract This thesis summarises some of the research done on fansubbing. Most of this research is anime-centred. However, another genre where fansubbing has become common practice is the focus of this thesis, namely Korean drama. One of the characteristics of fansubbing discussed in this thesis is that many fansubbers have appropriated a foreignizing style of subtitling, instead of domesticizing. I suspected that this was true for the fansubbers of Korean drama as well. To investigate whether this was the case, I focussed on one specific aspect of the Korean language, which is the intricate system surrounding Korean honorifics. I chose to focus my analysis on four Korean age-related honorifics, hyung, oppa, noona, and unni and I compared the translation procedures applied to these terms by both amateur and professional subtitlers. I followed Henrik Gottlieb’s method on extra-linguistic entities to classify the translation procedures found in the subtitles as either foreignizing or domesticizing. The fansubs of the first drama, Coffee Prince, contained many foreignizations, while the fansubs of the second drama, Reply 1997, contained fewer foreignizations. This difference may be the result of the increasing amount of legal online streaming sites where fansubbers subtitle Korean dramas for free or it could be coincidence. More research is needed on fansubbing as it cannot yet be said with certainty that the conclusions drawn from anime-related research apply to other genres as well. A COMPARISON OF TRANSLATION PROCEDURES 4 Introduction For the past two decades audiovisual translation has continued to gain scholarly attention. As more and more films, series, documentaries and other audiovisual material is translated, more and more translation scholars are starting to pay attention to this branch of translation studies. Subsequently, this branch has developed as a considerable field of itself. This has resulted in more varied academic attention and within the audiovisual translation branch separate fields of study have come into existence, including that of fansubbing. Fansubbing, also referred to as amateur subtitling or fan subtitling, is a form of subtitling which emerged in the nineties and is has slowly been gaining academic popularity. Most of the research related to fansubbing has been centred on Japanese anime, a Japanese hand-drawn animation. This is not surprising, since this is where the phenomenon of fansubbing originated from. In the nineties, English-speaking fans of Japanese anime took it upon themselves to subtitle anime films and anime series because they were unhappy with the way anime was culturally ‘flattened’ when it was translated into English and released on the American market (Dwyer, 2012, p. 229). At that time amateur subtitling was a time- consuming process, but due to the rise of the Internet this process has become faster and easier, which may have attributed to the spread of fansubbing to other genres. In 2005, translation scholar Matthew Kayahara stated that “other genres will pick up on fansubbing, thus providing a more diverse field of source material to work with” (qtd. in González, 2007, p. 274) and one of these genres is Korean drama. Korean dramas are popular Korean TV shows often consisting of only one season lasting from twelve to twenty episodes. While it is classified as one single genre, the contents can vary greatly. Some dramas, in which school children play the main protagonists, are targeted at teenagers. Yet, there are also dramas that are targeted at a more adult audience where, for example, North Korean spies infiltrate the South Korean government. It is perhaps A COMPARISON OF TRANSLATION PROCEDURES 5 this variety that has resulted in Korean drama becoming a phenomenon which has not only conquered South Korea (henceforth referred to as Korea) itself, but has also swept across the whole of Asia since the middle of the nineties. Since then it has continued to spread around the globe and had accumulated a steady following in South-America, North-America, and most recently in Europe. Naturally, subtitles are needed to facilitate such a growth. Korean dramas are constantly being translated into English, Spanish and many other languages by professional translators, but many are also translated by their fans. Despite their popularity and the growing fansubbing culture surrounding Korean drama, there has been little research on the fansubbing of Korean drama.

Rain or shine, however, the preparations for AKSE activities continue. On 21 August, 2008 the Fifth Korean Studies Convention for Graduate Students in Europe will begin, this year to be held in Leiden. Originally this was not an AKSE activity, the graduate students themselves taking charge of the entire organisation together with local teachers. This will not radically change, but AKSE will every year at the end of July include a request for funding of the convention of the following year to the Korea Foundation in its request for other activities and when necessary encourage graduate students to organise a convention. This will facilitate the work of the graduate students who are organising next year’s conference and promote continuity. Preparations are also under way for the 2009 AKSE Biennial Conference in Leiden.

  • Cultural Production in Transnational Culture: an Analysis of Cultural Creators in the Korean Wave
    International Journal of Communication 15(2021), 1810–1835 1932–8036/20210005 Cultural Production in Transnational Culture: An Analysis of Cultural Creators in the Korean Wave DAL YONG JIN1 Simon Fraser University, Canada By employing cultural production approaches in conjunction with the global cultural economy, this article attempts to determine the primary characteristics of the rapid growth of local cultural industries and the global penetration of Korean cultural content. It documents major creators and their products that are received in many countries to identify who they are and what the major cultural products are. It also investigates power relations between cultural creators and the surrounding sociocultural and political milieu, discussing how cultural creators develop local popular culture toward the global cultural markets. I found that cultural creators emphasize the importance of cultural identity to appeal to global audiences as well as local audiences instead of emphasizing solely hybridization. Keywords: cultural production, Hallyu, cultural creators, transnational culture Since the early 2010s, the Korean Wave (Hallyu in Korean) has become globally popular, and media scholars (Han, 2017; T. J. Yoon & Kang, 2017) have paid attention to the recent growth of Hallyu in many parts of the world. Although the influence of Western culture has continued in the Korean cultural market as well as elsewhere, local cultural industries have expanded the exportation of their popular culture to several regions in both the Global South and the Global North. Social media have especially played a major role in disseminating Korean culture (Huang, 2017; Jin & Yoon, 2016), and Korean popular culture is arguably reaching almost every corner of the world.

  • Descriptive Study of Honorific Use in Korean Email Discourse
    Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics, Vol. 6 No. 1, July 2016, pp. 99-111 DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF HONORIFIC USE IN KOREAN EMAIL DISCOURSE Jaegu Kim Sekolah Pelita Harapan, Lippo Cikarang, Jakarta [email protected] First received: 22 March 2016 Final proof received: 13 July 2016 Abstract It is a relatively new field that examines how Korean culture affects Korean language use in terms of age difference in a corpus of computer mediated email discourse. The purpose of this descriptive study and experiment is to prove the close relationship between Korean language and culture. This paper shows the descriptive study of Korean culture in relation to language use. Korean culture acknowledges an inherent hierarchy with regard to age, and considers [+age] as relating socially to [+power]. When younger Koreans converse with older ones, they express different morpho-syntactic patterns, which is an age complex. The main task of the experiment was to examine the way through which the age complex is reflected by Korean honorific linguistic system in email discourse. I asked 15 Korean native speakers between the ages of 20 to 25 to write emails expressing an impositive request to [+age (46-50 years old)], [-age (below 25 years old)] and [=age] recipients. The results show significant differences in the use of grammatical features in emails written to [+age] recipients, as compared to emails written to [-age] and [=age] recipients. The implication of the findings is that the cultural values that are attached to age and aging in the Korean society affects Koreans’ language use, which means Korean language and culture are closely intermingled.
