It is designed with the intention of making it easier and faster to develop applications using data from thetvdb.com, without having to bother about working with the raw data provided. 1.1.2 Installing The best and recommended way to install pytvdbapi is to use pip. To install, issue the following command in a shell: $ pip install pytvdbapi Depending on on what system and where you install pytvdbapi you may need root privileges to perform the above command. 1.1.3 Dependencies pytvdbapi depends on the following external packages: • httplib2 If you install using the above description, the dependencies will be installed for you if you do not already have them on your system. 1.1.4 Supported Versions The following python versions are supported by pytvdbapi. • 2.6 • 2.7 • 3.3 • 3.4 It may work on other Python versions but they are not actively supported and tested against. 5 pytvdbapi Documentation, Release 0.5.0 1.1.5 Known Issues The following issues/problems with pytvdbapi are known. • No support for connections through proxy servers. 1.2 Python 2.X and 3.X This section describes differences in using pytvdbapi in a Python 2.X environment and a Python 3.X environment. In particular it describes the differences and changes regarding unicode handling. 1.2.1 Unicode Vs. Str In python 3, the unicode object has been removed and the standard str type always represent a unicode string 1. Internally pytvdbapi works exclusively with unicode. That means that on Python 2.X all text attributes will be of type unicode and on Python 3 they will be of type str, all text attributes will be automatically converted as they are loaded. >>> from pytvdbapi import api >>> import sys >>> db= api.TVDB('B43FF87DE395DF56') >>> result= db.search('Alarm für cobra 11','de') >>> show= result[0] >>> if sys.version<'3': ... assert type(show.SeriesName) is unicode ... else: ... assert type(show.SeriesName) is str pytvdbapi attempts to convert all text parameters passed into unicode, that means unicode on Python 2.X and str on python 3.X. For example, both of these are valid: >>> from pytvdbapi import api >>> db= api.TVDB('B43FF87DE395DF56') >>> result= db.search('Alarm für cobra 11','de') >>> len(result) 3 >>> print(result[0]) <Show - Alarm für Cobra 11 - Die Autobahnpolizei> And: >>> result= db.search(u'Dexter','de') >>> len(result) 3 >>> print(result[0]) <Show - Dexter> 1 https://docs.python.org/3.3/howto/unicode.html 6 Chapter 1. Basics pytvdbapi Documentation, Release 0.5.0 1.3 Examples This section provides some different examples of how pytvdbapi can be used. 1.3.1 Basic Usage Search for a show, given its name and a language: >>> from pytvdbapi import api >>> db= api.TVDB("B43FF87DE395DF56") >>> result= db.search("Dexter","en") >>> show= result[0] # If there is a perfect match, it will be the first >>> print(show.SeriesName) Dexter >>> print(show.FirstAired) 2006-10-01 You can easily loop all episodes in a show: >>> for season in show: ... for episode in season: ... print(u"{0} - {1}".format(episode.EpisodeName, episode.FirstAired)) ... Early Cuts: Alex Timmons (Chapter 1) - 2009-10-25 ... Finding Freebo - 2008-10-05 The Lion Sleeps Tonight - 2008-10-12 All In the Family - 2008-10-19 Turning Biminese - 2008-10-26 ... Dress Code - 2013-08-11 Are We There Yet? - 2013-08-18 Make Your Own Kind of Music - 2013-08-25 Goodbye Miami - 2013-09-08 Monkey In a Box - 2013-09-15 Remember the Monsters? - 2013-09-22 1.3.2 Working with a show object Basic usage: # You can use slicing to only get a sub set of all seasons >>> for season in show[2:5]: ... print(season.season_number) ... 2 3 4 # List the total number of seasons # Season 0 is the "specials" season containing special episodes >>> len(show) 9 1.3. Examples 7 pytvdbapi Documentation, Release 0.5.0 >>> print(show[2]) # Access a particular season <Season 002> Access show attributes: >>> print(show.IMDB_ID) tt0773262 >>> hasattr(show,'foo') False >>> hasattr(show,'Genre') True >>> getattr(show,'foo',-1) -1 1.3.3 Working with a Season object Episode access: >>> from pytvdbapi.error import TVDBIndexError >>> season= show[2] # Grab a specific season, season 0 is the specials season >>> len(season) # The number of episodes in the season 12 >>> try: ... print(season[0]) ... except TVDBIndexError: ... # Episodes start at index 1 ... print('No episode at index 0') No episode at index 0 >>> print(season[3]) <Episode - S002E003> You can use slicing to access specific episode objects: >>> for episode in season[3:10:2]: ... print(episode.EpisodeNumber) ... 4 6 8 10 Access the associated show: >>> season.show <Show - Dexter> 1.3.4 Working with an episode object Accessing episode attributes: 8 Chapter 1. Basics pytvdbapi Documentation, Release 0.5.0 >>> episode= show[2][4] >>> print(episode.EpisodeName) See-Through >>> hasattr(episode,'foo') False >>> hasattr(episode,'Director') True Access the containing season: >>> episode.season <Season 002> 1.3.5 Searching and Filtering It is possible to search and filter a show or season instance to find all episodes matching a certain criteria. Searching for all shows written by Tim Schlattmann: >>> episodes= show.filter(key= lambda ep: ep.Writer =='Tim Schlattmann') >>> len(episodes) 7 >>> for ep in episodes: ... print(ep.EpisodeName) ... The Dark Defender Turning Biminese Go Your Own Way Dirty Harry First Blood Once Upon a Time... Scar Tissue Find the episode with production code 302: >>> episode= show.find(key= lambda ep: ep.ProductionCode==302) >>> print(episode.EpisodeName) Finding Freebo >>> print(episode.ProductionCode) 302 1.3.6 Case insensitive attributes It is possible to tell the API to ignore casing when accessing the objects dynamic attributes. If you pass ignore_case=True when creating the pytvdbapi.api.TVDB instance, you can access the dynamically cre- ated attributes of the pytvdbapi.api.Show, pytvdbapi.api.Season, pytvdbapi.api.Episode, pytvdbapi.actor.Actor and pytvdbapi.banner.Banner instances in a case insensitive manner. Example: >>> from pytvdbapi import api >>> db= api.TVDB("B43FF87DE395DF56", ignore_case=True) # Tell API to ignore case >>> result= db.search("Dexter","en") 1.3. Examples 9 pytvdbapi Documentation, Release 0.5.0 >>> show= result[0] >>> print(show.seriesname) Dexter >>> hasattr(show,'SERIESNAME') True >>> hasattr(show,'seriesname') True >>> hasattr(show,'sErIeSnAmE') True >>> episode= show[3][5] >>> print(episode.episodename) Turning Biminese >>> hasattr(episode,'EPISODENAME') True >>> hasattr(episode,'episodename') True 1.3.7 Working with Actor and Banner Objects By default, the extended information for pytvdbapi.actor.Actor and pytvdbapi.banner.Banner are not loaded. This is to save server resources and avoid downloading data that is not necessarily needed. The pytvdbapi.api.Show always contain a list of actor names. If you do want to use this extra actor and banner data you can pass actors=True and banners=True respectively when creating the pytvdbapi.api.TVDB instance, this will cause the actors and/or banners to be loaded for all shows. If you only want this information for some shows, you can use the pytvdbapi.api.Show.load_actors() and pytvdbapi.api.Show.load_banners() functions instead. Using keyword arguments: >>> from pytvdbapi

Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/48836 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Desiring Dexter: the pangs and pleasures of serial killer body technique Stephanie Green1 School of Humanities, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia Abstract The television series Dexter uses the figure of appealing monstrosity to unfold troubled relationships between corporeality, spectatorship and desire. Through a plastic-wrapped display of body horror, lightly veiled by suburban romance, Dexter turns its audience on to the consuming sensations of blood, death and dismemberment while simultaneously alluding to its own narrative and ethical contradictions. The excitations of Dexter are thus encapsulated within a tension between form and content as ambivalent and eroticised desire; both for heroic transgression and narrative resolution. Arguably, however, it is Dexter’s execution of a carefully developed serial killer body technique which makes this series so compelling. Through an examination of Dexter and his plotted body moves, this paper explores the representations of intimacy and murderous identity in this contemporary example of domestic screen horror entertainment. Keywords: Dexter, body-technique, desire, crime television, horror 1 [email protected] Launched in 2006, the television drama series Dexter has been a ratings record- breaker for its network producers (Showtime, CBS 2007-2011).

  • Master Thesis
    The Faculty of Arts and Education MASTER THESIS Study programme: Literacy Studies Spring term, 2020 Open Author: Barbara Waloszek ………………………………………… (signatur author) Supervisor: Oliver Martin Traxel Title of thesis: Audiovisual Translation of Puns and Cultural References in the First Season of the TV Series ‘How I Met Your Mother’ Keywords: Audiovisual Translation, Pages: 92 Subtitling, Translation Strategies, Puns, + attachment/other: 107 Cultural References Stavanger, 11 May 2020 Abstract This master thesis investigates a topic from the field of audiovisual translation. The research is focused on the subtitling of puns and cultural references in the American TV series ‘How I Met Your Mother’. It aims to analyse the characteristics of each of these two translation problems in the source text and the translation strategies applied to render them in the target text. For these purposes, the research material is analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively to provide comprehensive data on the subject. The theoretical framework is based on the concept of relevance theory as proposed by Sperber and Wilson (2004), which constitutes a valid explanation of numerous translators’ decisions. This master thesis also includes a practical framework with information on the character of the film as an audiovisual medium. The analysed material provides a representative sample of the translation of puns and cultural references from English to Norwegian. The discussed examples show translation difficulties and factors which need to be considered while translating, such as inter-semantic redundancy and screen space limitations. In addition, the analysis of source-text puns allows for drawing conclusions on the language distance between these two languages. In relation to cultural references, the research indicates a potential distance between the American and the Norwegian culture.

Endnotes RIZWAN 3 Abstract The female broadcaster provides one of the most stereotypical images of contemporary journalist in popular culture. Often, female journalists are portrayed as vivacious, ruthless, and driven individuals who must compete fiercely to survive in a man’s profession. Robin Scherbatsky (played by Cobie Smulders) of How I Met Your Mother is depicted as an attractive Canadian journalist with a tomboy past on the highly popular television series. Scherbatsky struggles to break free from covering stereotypical “fluff” stories, a genre that is common to female broadcast journalists. While she maintains a rugged and unemotional facade, she is still very womanly and vulnerable in both her career and personal life. This study will examine Scherbatsky’s dichotomous character, compare her image on the series to that of other female journalists in popular culture, and analyze her influence on the current stereotype of female broadcasters.
