In particular, contemporary British and American films often investigate the importance of ethnic food as a key entry to cultural and linguistic memory in immigrant communities in Europe and the USA. Starting from these observations, this paper sets out to investigate the socio-cultural and linguistic functions food naming serves as an identity/ethnicity tool in both the original and the Italian dubbed version of such intercultural films as Bend it Like Beckham, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Ae Fond Kiss, The Mistress of Spices, My Life In Ruins, Eat Pray Love, The Hundred-Foot Journey, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, where the immigrant characters express their hybrid identity through the recurrent use of intra-sentential code-switching (Myers-Scotton 1993) from they-code to we-code (Gumperz 1982) when quoting the original names of their traditional dishes, thus symbolically and linguistically representing the transcultural and translanguaging space (Wei 2011) they live in.","PeriodicalId":43194,"journal":{"name":"MonTI","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72640895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How can they possibly reconcile its linguistic abundance with a limited textual space; the overlapping dialogue with the necessity to present information successively when writing a text; the uncertain status of the “human secretions” (alternating between the intelligible and the unintelligible) with the written code, which, as it will not allow a play with volume adjustment, imposes a clear-cut choice: translating or not translating. The dialogic chaos orchestrated by Tati constitutes an aesthetic commentary on the sociological identity of post-war France as the country was painfully entering the era of globalization. In the subtitled versions, do the constraints imposed on the translators hinder a proper representation of this identity or is the subtitlers’ creativity able to meet the challenge?","PeriodicalId":43194,"journal":{"name":"MonTI","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80977686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The film revolves around a female idol (a pop star) named Mima who quits her career as an idol to become an actress, and how she gradually loses her mind. This article presents anime as an important pop culture phenomenon with a massive influence worldwide. This article examines the gender stereotypes promulgated by this phenomenon and proposes a different reading of the work of Kon by comparing how the gender roles are portrayed in the different versions: The Japanese original and its yakuwarigo or “scripted speech” (Kinsui and Yamakido 2015) and the US English subtitles and dubbing. Methodologically, the analysis relies on close observation of the use of the Japanese first and second person pronouns and sentence-final particles in the characters’ language, since “the use of these features is known to be highly gender-dependent” (Hiramoto 2013: 55). The study comes to important conclusions regarding gender portrayals in audiovisual translation.","PeriodicalId":43194,"journal":{"name":"MonTI","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84619278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent decades, cinema and TV have begun to include linguistic diversity in their productions in an attempt to pursue realism and to represent multilingual realities. TV series, which have become very popular with American and European audiences, increasingly display characters who speak more than one language or who use mixed language variants. Focusing on the TV series Jane the Virgin, this article explores the different forms and functions of multilingualism in the original version and analyses the translation strategies adopted in the Italian dubbed version, in order to verify whether multilingual discourse practices are maintained, adapted or neutralised and to consider the effects of such strategies on character portrayal.","PeriodicalId":43194,"journal":{"name":"MonTI","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87142437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents the results of a questionnaire aiming to map the current situation regarding the teaching of audio description in Spain. It reports on the results obtained from 27 Spanish participants that answered a questionnaire developed as part of ADLAB PRO, an Erasmus+ project funded by the European Commission whose ultimate goal is to create didactic material for the training of audio describers.
