Dr Cornu will give two talks. The first is a research seminar:
Principles for a historiography of film
translation
Tuesday 24 March 2015
University of Bristol, Woodland Road, BS8
Arts Complex LR8, 5.15-7pm
(Entrance for external visitors via 3-5
Woodland Rd)
There is film history, and there is translation history. But is there such a thing as film translation history? Whether we call it film translation, screen translation, or audiovisual translation, this particular form of translation does have a history, which remains largely unexplored to this day.
This talk will try to define what film translation is, when it started, whether it belongs to any existing field of research or is a field in its own right. It will include a number of film clips and will suggest some principles for a historiography of film translation.
The lecture will be delivered in English. Followed by a glass of wine! All welcome.
The second talk is entitled:
Aesthetics and the nuts and bolts of subtitling
This session will use film clips to focus on practical subtitling issues including layout and the relationship between subtitles and the other codes of the film.
Wednesday 25 March
