Subtitling Francophone World Cinema: Narratives of Identity, Alterity and Power in Audiovisual Translation

这项拟议的研究项目将探索字幕电影中语言和文化杂合的(重建)构建和表现。具体地说，它将研究字幕如何利用多符号化的电影文本中的听觉和视觉符号来产生表征系统，通过这些系统可以(重建)语言和文化的杂合。在探讨我的主题时，我将运用霍米·巴巴(1994)的后殖民翻译理论框架，提出将字幕翻译重新定义为一种发生在电影文本的第三空间，即电影文本的视听代码之间的“翻译和谈判”行为。借助巴巴，我问道：这个“第三空间”的“生产能力”如何产生多种可能性，在字幕电影中(重建)和表现语言和文化的杂合？

The proposed research project will explore the (re)construction and representation of linguistic andcultural hybridity in subtitled film. Specifically, it will investigate how subtitles draw on aural and visualsigns within the polysemiotic filmic text to produce systems of representation through which linguisticand cultural hybridity may be (re)constructed. In approaching my topic, I will employ Homi Bhabha's(1994) postcolonial translation theory framework to propose a reconceptualization of subtitling as an actof "translation and negotiation" that takes place in the "third space", or the space "in-between" the audioand visual codes of the filmic text. Drawing on Bhabha, I ask: how do the "productive capacities" of this"third space" engender multiple possibilities for (re)constructing and representing linguistic and culturalhybridity in subtitled film?
