This project develops a synchronic screenshot, building on Bassnett (1998), to provide the first sustained empirical investigation into translation strategies used in Italian dubbed Animated Musical Comedies (1960-present). It examines 25 songs selected from 16 animated musical comedies, which have (a) made an emblematic contribution to the Italian creative industries and/or (b) recently spurred major remakes: Mary Poppins (1964), The Aristocats (1970), Robin Hood (1973), Beauty and the Beast (1991/2017), Aladdin (1992/2019), The Nightmare before Christmas (1993), The Swan Princess (1994), The Lion King (1994/2019), Anastasia (1997), Hercules (1997), The Prince of Egypt (1998), Shrek 2 (2004), Frozen (2013). Given the current resurgence of remakes, often exploiting star talent, understanding how translations/performances create in tune cultures makes this research relevant and timely. I will establish a new interdisciplinary approach to analyse Italian translators' activity as adapters, and the effect of performance (including casting) on the dubbing process, specifically in terms of voice analysis (including word stress, repetition patterns). What are the implications of Renzo Montagnani's voice replacing Phil Harris' in the character of Romeo/O'Malley in Gli Aristogatti? Do listeners perceive the change of actor for spoken/sung voices in the Italian dubbed version of the Aladdin remake? The originality of this research has implications for voice performance/interpretation, and audience response to mass/pop culture texts in an increasingly English-speaking society dominated by social networks.My interest in live/recorded voice within translation practices stems from my Master's research. In my MA dissertation, I discussed translation's role in theatre adaptation and stage performance. My thesis included my own Italian translation of the playtext used for the National Theatre adaptation of Frankenstein by Danny Boyle, and a critical commentary using key translation and adaptation theory (Bassnett, 1998; Hutcheon, 2006) pertinent to my PhD project. This expertise is supported by musical training in pop singing and classical music: I hold certificates in music theory, piano, and viola from Cosenza Conservatoire and Viterbo Music School. Building on this skillset, I intend to develop the proposed PhD project in order to extend my MA research and question the complex interrelations connecting the mechanisms of translation/adaptation and performance, specifically in song translation and audio-visual dubbing, and the cultural implications of the unequal power relationship between Anglophone and Italian cultural contexts. The expertise of my supervisors (Prof. Abbott, Dr Mével, DrTyler) in word-music relations, audio-visual translation, and digital media, will provide the ideal support framework for my project.

这个项目开发了一个同步的屏幕截图，在Bassnett（1998）的基础上，提供了第一个持续的实证调查，在意大利配音动画音乐喜剧（1960年至今）中使用的翻译策略。它审查了从16部动画音乐喜剧中选出的25首歌曲，这些歌曲（a）对意大利创意产业做出了象征性的贡献，和/或（B）最近引发了重大翻拍：《玛丽·波平斯》（1964）、《贵族》（1970）、《罗宾汉》（1973）、《美女与野兽》（1991/2017），阿拉丁（1992/2019）、《圣诞节前的噩梦》（1993）、《天鹅公主》（1994）、《狮子王》（1994/2019），阿纳斯塔西娅（1997），大力神（1997），埃及王子（1998），怪物史莱克2（2004），冰雪奇缘（2013）。鉴于目前翻拍的复苏，往往利用星星人才，了解翻译/表演如何创造文化的调子，使这项研究的相关性和及时性。我将建立一个新的跨学科的方法来分析意大利翻译的活动作为适配器，和性能（包括铸造）的配音过程中的影响，特别是在语音分析（包括字重音，重复模式）。伦佐·蒙塔尼亚尼的声音取代菲尔·哈里斯在《格里·阿里斯托加蒂》中扮演罗密欧/奥马利的角色有什么意义？在意大利配音版的《阿拉丁》翻拍版中，听众是否感觉到演员的变化？这项研究的原创性具有影响的语音性能/解释，和观众的反应，大众/流行文化文本在一个越来越多的英语社会主导的社交网络。我的兴趣在现场/录音语音翻译实践源于我的硕士研究。在我的硕士论文中，我讨论了翻译在戏剧改编和舞台表演中的作用。我的论文包括我自己的意大利语翻译的剧本用于国家剧院改编的弗兰肯斯坦由丹尼波义耳，和批评评论使用关键翻译和适应理论（巴斯内特，1998年;哈钦，2006年）有关我的博士项目。这种专业知识得到了流行歌曲和古典音乐方面的音乐培训的支持：我持有科森扎音乐学院和维泰博音乐学院的音乐理论、钢琴和中提琴证书。在此基础上，我打算开发拟议的博士项目，以扩大我的硕士研究和问题的复杂的相互关系连接的翻译/适应和性能的机制，特别是在歌曲翻译和视听配音，以及英语和意大利文化背景之间的不平等权力关系的文化影响。我的导师（Abbott教授，Mével博士，Tyler博士）在文字音乐关系，视听翻译和数字媒体方面的专业知识将为我的项目提供理想的支持框架。
