A Web Archive of Theatre Translation Resources

该项目将解决英国中学戏剧课程中文化差异代表性不足的问题，方法是创建一个开放式视频资源教育网站，让中学生参与外语戏剧。通过针对年轻的戏剧学生和他们的老师，我们将培养未来的戏剧制作人和观众欣赏来自不同背景的故事，并与文化上遥远的其他人产生共鸣。2015年，约22%的英国人口出生在国外或外国公民，但只有3.8%英国剧院每年上演的戏剧中，有百分之五十最初是用英语以外的语言写成的，英国中学的戏剧课程很少包括非英语/非英语的戏剧。英国材料，学生通过戏剧与语言和文化多样性。这种令人担忧的代表性差距必须得到解决，支持教师在翻译中选择戏剧将是改变现状的有效途径。缩小课程要求，学生的文化背景和教学资源的可用性之间的代表性差距，当我们考虑到海外的国际/英国学校为多文化，多语言和多种族的学生提供CGSE，A-Levels，BTEC和IB戏剧资格时，就更加紧迫了。从我与在英国和海外工作的20多名教师的广泛咨询中，我得出的结论是，存在明显的知识和学术差距，以及迫切的道德要求，扩大这方面的教育资源，在开设戏剧作为评估科目的英语学校中促进关于文化和语言差异的对话，该项目建立在我通过获奖的AHRC领导奖学金获得的研究和专业知识的基础上，该奖学金名为“翻译，适应，适应：戏剧翻译中的“异化”--以戏剧翻译中文化和语言差异的再现为中心。调查英国戏剧剧目翻译数量令人失望的原因，PI确定中学戏剧教育是一个潜在的影响领域，以促进更多的参与，并在未来的英语舞台上表现出文化和语言差异。在英语舞台上增加非英语语言和文化的代表性对于促进多元文化社会中社区之间的理解至关重要，例如英国，但在美国，外语文本的翻译往往很少，移民率很高。该网站将包括五部戏剧的最新委托拍摄的原文摘录和两部英文译本，以突出翻译策略如何对制作产生影响。这些视频将是全新的，并为该项目策划，具有专业演员阵容。我们还将制作并在网站上包括：与在该领域工作的主要从业者的电影采访;学者和戏剧制作人戏剧的广泛背景化;以及教学资源，澄清如何将资源整合到GCSE，A-Level，BTEC和IB课程中。该项目与影响深远的戏剧组织合作，如伦敦的Gate（一直热衷于戏剧翻译）和坎特伯雷的Gulbenkian剧院（一个专注于年轻人的场所），将为学生创造无障碍教育资源，让他们参与PI奖学金项目中调查的外语戏剧。该项目的咨询委员会包括在英格兰中学工作的五名戏剧负责人以及来自Gate、Gulbenkian和皇家宫廷剧院的剧院经理。我们将聘请经验丰富的学者和教师提供资源。这些资源将鼓励长期思维转变和国际化。

This project will address the issue of under-representation of cultural difference in the British secondary school Drama curriculum by creating an open-access educational website of video resources to engage secondary school children with foreign-language plays. By targeting young Drama students and their teachers we will train future theatre-makers and audiences to appreciate stories from diverse contexts and empathise with culturally distant others.About 22% of the UK population in 2015 was either born abroad or a foreign citizen, however only about 3.8% of plays in British theatres every year are originally written in a language other than English and the British secondary school Drama curriculum does little to include non-English/non-British material for students to engage with linguistic and cultural diversity through theatre. This alarming representation gap must be addressed and supporting teachers in choosing plays in translation would be an effective way to change the status quo. Reducing the representation gap between curriculum requirements, students' cultural backgrounds and availability of teaching resources is even more pressing when we think about international/British schools overseas offering CGSEs, A-Levels, BTEC and IB qualifications in Drama to a multicultural, multilingual and multiracial student body. From my extensive consultation period with over twenty teachers working in the UK and overseas, I have concluded that there is a clear intellectual and academic gap, and an urgent ethical call, to expand education resources in this area to foster dialogue on cultural and linguistic difference in English-speaking schools offering Drama both as an assessed subject and/or as an enrichment activity.The project builds on the research and expertise acquired through my award-winning AHRC Leadership Fellowship - entitled 'Translation, Adaptation, Otherness: "Foreignisation" in Theatre Practice' - focusing on the representation of cultural and linguistic difference in theatre translation. Investigating the reasons behind the disappointing number of translations in British theatre repertoires, the PI identified secondary school Drama education as a potential area of impact to foster more engagement with, and representation of, cultural and linguistic difference on English-speaking stages in the future. Increasing representation of non-English languages and culture on English-speaking stages is of paramount importance to foster understanding among communities in multicultural societies, such as the UK, but also in the US, where translations of foreign-language texts tend to be rare and immigration high. Included in the website will be newly commissioned filmed extracts of five plays in the original language and two English translations, in order to highlight how translation strategies can have an impact on the production. The videos will be entirely new and curated for the project, featuring a professional cast. We will also produce and include on the website: film interviews with key practitioners working in the field; extensive contextualisations of the plays by academics and theatre-makers; and teaching resources clarifying how to integrate the resource into the GCSE, A-Level, BTEC and IB curricula. Collaborating with far-reaching theatre organisations such as the Gate, London, which has been keen a champion of theatre translation, and the Gulbenkian Theatre, Canterbury, a venue which focuses on young people, the project will create accessible educational resources for pupils to engage with foreign-language plays i as investigated in the PI's Fellowship project. The Project's Advisory Board includes five Heads of Drama working in secondary schools in England and theatre managers from the Gate, the Gulbenkian and the Royal Court Theatre. We will employ experienced academics and teachers to deliver the resources.These resources will encourage long-term mind shifts and internationalisation.
