And YES, we know it’s not even been Christmas yet, so how can you start thinking about New Year?! Well you should! We don’t live in the quaint Yorkshire dales where all people do for New Year is watch TV with a box of Cadburys Roses. This is bloody LONDON, goddamit! City of lights and queues and binge drinking and Cara Delevignge and kale chips and vodka and cigarettes and leather trousers and just everything else ridiculous! So on New Year, you can’t just stumble out to central and hope for the best. You’ve got to PLAN stuff, otherwise you’ll be celebrating the end of 2016 on a packed tube carriage with a can of hairspray in one hand and a Ribena bottle full of vodka and coke in the other. Bleak. This is the other thing. We’re thinking this year’s celebrations are gonna be the biggest EVER, because god knows, everyone will be glad to see the back of this mental nutjob of a year. 2016 was a messy bitch who lived for the drama. So what better way to say goodbye to it than big gay messy club nights?! START THINGS OFF, at 5am on 1st January! Yes! We don’t do things conventionally. Celebrating at midnight IS FOR STRAIGHT PEOPLE. As One Afterhours kicks off at 5am at hedonistic (we love that word, it’s our word of the year) superclub Fire! Why is it called Fire? Because it’s LIT. It lasts until 2pm in the afternoon, spanning over three huge rooms and dancefloors, with DJs, performers and cutting edge clubland production! Yes! That’s with DJs Gonzalo, Nik Denton, Zach Burns and more. Need a rest? Nope, sorry. It’s on to BEYOND STARDUST at the iconic Electric Brixton. Beyond Stardust promises to be a celestial celebration of all things euphoric and of the night! As the name suggests, it’s gonna serve as an homage to the late great David Bowie, glamrock queer vibes! It’s powered by salacious social media savvy Scruff, with X-Factor’s Peyton headlining, supporting by Steve Pitron, Tony English, D’Johnny and more. Then (there’s more! Have a Red Bull!) it’s back to Fire for Orange Nation’s flagship freshly squeezed club night, Orange! Mattias Dabo, Alex Georgiou and more will be bringing bangin’ beats to two floors in a final last hurrah to see out the year. SO. Get some Red Bull down ya, like we said. And get yourself on the Victoria Line to Vauxhall. The Victoria Line is the best line isn’t it. SO that’s a bonus!

The take-over of 800 and the resulting visual was nothing short of BOTCHED. I was 19, and gender-benders into a space that was then undermined from within felt with no proper queer scene for students. I decided to rent out what was like a dethroning – like we had rode in on a Trojan Horse, a fake gift of essentially a damp crypt - my wig actually rotted that night – and I invited paying customers, who were then set free to ransack on the inside. 400 people on Facebook to come experiment with gender subversion.

And then the phone break-in rang. It was my mother, telling me I better turn on the television, that something was happening. When I did, newscasters were trying to make sense of why a plane had hit the World Trade Center. It looked like a bad ac- cident. Only, a couple of min- utes later, I watched as another plane flew into the other tower and burst into flames. I thought for a second that I was watching a replay. Then I realized in hor- ror that I wasn’t. We were un- der attack from some unknown source. And I didn’t feel so safe anymore. Most people I’ve talked to have similar stories. They know where they were and what they were doing at 8:45 a.m. when the first plane hit. The second one hit 18 minutes later.

  • Anàlisi I Proposta De L'argot Queer Del Xou Rupaul's Drag Race
    TRABAJO DE FINAL DE GRADO EN TRADUCCIÓN E INTERPRETACIÓN TREBALL DE FI DE GRAU EN TRADUCCIÓ I INTERPRETACIÓ Departament de Traducció i Comunicació TÍTULO / TÍTOL ANÀLISI I PROPOSTA DE L’ARGOT QUEER DEL XOU RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE: EL CAS DE LA SUBTITULACIÓ Autor/a: Marc Martínez Herrero Tutor/a: Josep Roderic Guzmán Pitarch Fecha de lectura/ Data de lectura: juny de 2018 Resumen/ Resum: (aprox. 300 palabras / paraules) En aquest treball es pretén, en primer lloc, analitzar l’argot queer del xou d’impacte RuPaul’s Drag Race i la subtitulació d’aquest al castellà i, llavors, donar una proposta de traducció en català. Cal tenir en compte d’entrada el rerefons d’aquest argot emprat en el xou, el qual pertany al col·lectiu LGBTI+, i la transcendència que hi ha tingut. Ja que es tracta d’una temàtica amb temes reivindicatius i d’autocrítica, l’humor n’és una part fonamental; i si tenim en compte els referents culturals populars de la cultura estatunidenca, ens adonarem al llarg del treball que tots aquests trets fan de la subtitulació del xou una tasca bastant difícil d’aconseguir. Per tant, després de fer un repàs de la subtitulació i de les característiques que la diferencien, classificarem els referents culturals segons la taxonomia de Vandeweghe (2005) explicada per Díaz-Cintas & Remael (2007) i parlarem de les estratègies que s’han emprat en la traducció de l’argot al castellà segons la taxonomia de Pedersen (2005). A més, tractarem d’explicar els tipus d’acudits que trobarem en l‘anàlisi seguint la classificació de l’autor Zabalbeascoa (1996) juntament amb les aportacions de Martínez Sierra (2008).
