New perspectives and challenges for interpretation
No full textTechnological progress and globalization processes are radically changing traditional working models – including those for professional intercultural mediation. This also affects all forms of written and oral translation, e.g.for terrestrial or satellite-broadcast television programmes. This aspect ist often neglected by international and intercultural communication studies. As translation is at the same time an agent and a symptom of linguistic and cultural exchange (and change), it is important to state the social and ethical responsibility involved in its use, and the consequent need to improve our understanding of its working mechanisms.
The author is conducting a study on the modalities of oral interlingual mediation used in Italian television since the sixties. The project aims at the collection of a corpus of examples of tv-interpreting and its analysis for descriptive and didactic purposes. The theoretical background is a pragmatic approach to interpreting as a complex and ‚artificial‘ comunication phenomenon and a social phenomenon with multiple economic and sociological implications. In previous research television interpreting has often been considered simply as a variety of conference interpreting performed under severer circumstances, in spite of the profoundly different performances expected from television interpreters. The theses of the author are that: television interpreting is substantially different from interpreting in traditional conference settings (and, on the other hand, from ordinary face-to-face communication); most of the specific differences between traditional interpreting and television interpreting have not yet been sufficiently investigated; the norms of behaviour internalised by professional conference interpreters are not always adequate to television communication, and this can even lead to conflicts about the perception of interpretation quality.
The characteristics of interpreter-mediated discourse in tv are analyzed according to eight categories recognized by Hymes as variables pertaining to every form of comunication event and identified by the acronym SPEAKING (situation, participants, ends, act sequeces, key, instrumentralities, norms of interaction e genres). The main differences of television interpreting versus more traditional form of interpreting are related to the loss of interpersonal character of communication; the reproducibility of oral discourse in the age of electronic media; staging (where the selection of viewpoints and the restructuring of discourse implicitly include a pre-selection of meaning); the secondary character of orality on television, conflicting with the interpreter’s genuine fresh talk; and the loss of a clear-cut profile of the type of mediation and mediators required

Narrative art and act in the fourth gospel: aspects of the Johannine point of view
Get PDFThis thesis assumes that the narrative form of the Fourth Gospel is important for understanding the Gospel's meaning. Narrative is a communicative transaction whereby meaning is transmitted from author to reader via the way the story is told. Meaning is also established by overt speech-acts, and the 'act' performed in the overall structuring of the story. It arises within a context of rule-governed speech behaviour which determines parameters and implications that inform understanding. The Gospel's narrative form meets with readers' conventional expectations about how it relates to ostensive historical reality. Factors internal and external help determine genre. Part one examines aspects of the Gospel's narrative art. The way in which the narrative situation varies over the course of the narrative is outlined. The implied author manipulates the narration to create a close association in the reader’s mind between the narrator and the beloved disciple. In John 3 the voice of the narrator merges with those of Jesus and John. These strategies have implications for the Gospel's theological meaning and the relationship of the implied author to the story world. Speech-act theory elucidates the narrative act by which the implied author conveys the Gospel's message and seeks to induce belief in the reader. Part two considers the Gospel's relationship to historical reference. Factors which influence a decision as to whether or not the Gospel is to be taken as fictional are examined, for example, whether aspects of the narration suggest fictional discourse and whether the speech-acts operate within a 'pretended' world. Descriptive categories for the Gospel as natural narrative and 'display text' are proposed, as is a flexible model of genre, which modulates the poles of 'fiction' and 'history'. An analysis of the Temple Cleansing pericope provides illustration of the Gospel’s status as an historically-based, theological display text
The effect of training in computer-aided design on the spatial visualization ability in selected gifted adolescents
No full textThis research was undertaken to determine the effect that computer aided design (CAD) had on the spatial visualization abilities of selected gifted adolescents. The following hypotheses was tested: Subjects receiving instruction in CAD will show improvement in spatial visualization ability, as measured by the Revised Minnesota Paper Form Board (RMPFB) test. when compared to the subjects not receiving CAD instruction.
The experimental group consisted of 20 students enrolled in the CAD course offered in the 1991 Virginia Governor's School of Technology. The control group consisted of 20 Governor's School students not enrolled in the CAD course. Both groups were pretested using the RMPFB test Form AA to measure entry level spatial visualization. A treatment consisting of three weeks of CAD instruction using CADKEY 3.5 was given to the experimental group. Following the treatment both groups were post tested using the RMPFB test Form BB to determine their existing level of spatial visualization ability.
The nonequivalent control group design was used in this study since the experimental group was an intact group and therefore not randomly assigned. ANCOVA statistical analysis was used to determine if there was statistical significance of the post test scores.Ph. D
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
