‘The film gone male’: women and the transition to sound in the British film industry 1929–1932

ABSTRACT

Taking its cue from Dorothy Richardson’s essay, ‘The Film Gone Male’ written for the critical, Left-wing British film publication Close Up in 1932, this article looks at women working in the British film industry during the transition from silent to sound cinema between 1929 and 1932. It considers the effects of new sound technology on women’s roles in front of and behind the camera from production to reception and critique. It also questions whether sound technology further marginalised women as producers of cinema and interrogates whether synchronised sound masculinised film as Richardson asserted.     

Confectionery and Conflict Resolution? What Chocolat Reveals about Mediation

A close analysis of the film Chocolat discloses a new metaphor for the mediator — the mediator as cook. The use of this metaphor throughout the film suggests new insights about mediator style and practice. Specifically, the mediator–protagonist in Chocolat demonstrates that: (1) mediations need not be voluntary to be sound, (2) non-neutral, directive, evaluative mediators can be effective if they individualize their approaches to each disputant and dispute, and (3) effective approaches to mediation celebrate emotion and pleasure, contrary to many conflict resolution theorists who write about the importance of emotions, but do not privilege them in practice.     

关于利用彩色反转片拍照痕迹物证的探讨

在刑事技术工作中,使用彩色反转片拍照痕迹物证,然后利用柯达C—41的冲洗工艺加工,对于拍照提取与承受客体颜色相近、较难拍照的痕迹物证可以取得较好的效果,数码技术可以应用于彩色反转片的后期图像加工。     

影视作品的作者身份和著作权归属问题探析

基于对作品创作行为和著作权性质的不同理解,两大法系对影视作品的作者身份也有不同的理解,并采取了不同的立法处理模式。目前,我国著作权法对作者的身份和范围的规定均不够明确。在影视作品著作权归属问题上,我国著作权法的立法模式不仅有悖法理,作者的权利也未得到应有的尊重,正确的做法是回到大陆法系的正宗。同时,为解决影视作品作者和著作权人署名不规范的问题,国家应尽快完善相关立法,科学界定＂制片者＂定义,同时对影视作品著作权人的署名做出明确要求。     

头颅CT片同一认定研究

目的探寻头颅CT片同一认定的方法。方法分别计算同一被检查者不同次头颅CT片指标差值和不同被检查者头颅CT片指标差值,再应用二分类logistic回归分析相同被检查者和不同被检查者指标差值,建立头颅CT片同一认定回归方程。结果建立头颅CT片同一认定方程46个。结论通过头颅CT片测量可以进行有效同一认定。     

新疆题材电影民族化研究

新疆作为一个多民族聚居的地区,多民族的文化沃土为影视创作提供了丰富的素材。从建国至今新疆题材电影在创作中以本地区各民族群众的生活方式、风俗民情、文化观念及民族精神为主要内容,来实现新疆题材电影的民族化。     

Gender,risk and the Wall Street Alpha Male

From the outset, analyses of the 2008 financial crisis, in mainstream as well as feminist discussions, have been gendered. In particular, rampant risk taking in an unregulated environment, widely deemed to be a principle cause of the crash, has been associated with masculine characteristics. In this article, I explore how the concepts of gender and risk entwine in two films on the financial crisis – The Other Guys and Margin Call. By looking at how gender is used to dramatise financial risk, I explore how understandings of high-risk behaviour are gendered, and the implications this has in the context of finance. Fictional representations mediate public understanding of this notoriously complex field as the number of films and documentaries on the crisis demonstrates. Exploring how gender is used to communicate risk reminds us that risk taking is part of a performance of masculinity that needs to be established by constructing a feminine, risk-averse other. The contention of this paper is that, to address gender bias in finance and the economy, gendered meanings of risk need to be openly challenged, and cultural and material analyses of gendered inequality brought into dialogue.

生存资本与生活空间的竞争——以台湾中部两部客家移民族谱为讨论对象

近来社会史研究,倾向于关注人类与环境间的关系,强调把人类聚落空间当成一个整体,从各个面向综合讨论。有鉴于移民族群在迁移过程当中,经历时间漫长,取得历史材料不易,家谱成为保存移民发展史的数据库。家谱撰写者为了垂训后世子孙,巨细靡遗地叙述开基祖艰苦创业立基的过程,内容包含家族历史以及开基祖从原生地到迁居地之后,建立移民聚落空间的历程。本文试以台中石冈《刘元龙公派下家谱》、苗栗铜锣《李氏宗谱史记》为讨论对象,探讨清代渡海来台拓垦的先民们,借由精神上血缘凝聚力与物质上的经济合作力量,以宗族为单位,建构生存空间,逐步地域社会化的过程。     

电影台词翻译与系统功能语言学中的语气

系统功能语言学理论可用于翻译研究,从文献看,应用该理论进行语篇和文体分析的研究已有很多,但将其用于影视翻译方面的探讨还不多见。本文结合系统功能语言学当中人际功能的语气对英汉影视翻译研究进行了初步的探讨,分析了影视翻译中译文对原文的语气保持和改变两种情况,并简要分析了情景语境对语气的影响,结果表明语气分析对影视翻译具有参考价值,给提高影视翻译水平带来很大启示。
