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

本研究将探讨字幕电影中语言与文化混杂的（重建）与再现。具体来说，它将研究字幕如何利用多符号电影文本中的听觉和视觉符号来产生表征系统，通过这些表征系统可以（重新）构建语言和文化的混杂。在探讨这一主题时，我将运用霍米·巴巴（Homi Bhabha，1994）的后殖民翻译理论框架，提出字幕翻译作为一种发生在电影文本的“第三空间”，即“介于”视听代码之间的“翻译和协商”的行为。我问巴巴：这种“第三空间”的“生产力”如何产生了在字幕电影中建构和表现语言和文化杂合的多种可能性？

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?
