“Should she really be covered by her own subtitle?”

2016

This article provides a first concept of typographic identity in film and the impact of audiovisual translation on it. Based on an analysis of 52 films, relevant text elements and their graphical translation strategies in film were identified. Finally, possible shortcomings and challenges such as collisions and the impact on a film’s typographic identity and image composition are discussed as a first basis for further studies

Making interaction with virtual reality accessible : rendering and guiding methods for subtitles

2021

AbstractAccessibility in immersive media is a relevant research topic, still in its infancy. This article explores the appropriateness of two rendering modes (fixed-positioned and always-visible) and two guiding methods (arrows and auto-positioning) for subtitles in 360° video. All considered conditions have been implemented and integrated in an end-to-end platform (from production to consumption) for their validation and evaluation. A pilot study with end users has been conducted with the goals of determining the preferred options by users, the options that result in a higher presence, and of gathering extra valuable feedback from the end users. The obtained results reflect that, for the c…

The mediation of subtitling in the narrative construction of migrant and/or marginalized stories

2020

Media products, cultures and the arts have recently been transformed by migration, and these cultural and aesthetic transformations have contributed to re-shaping identities, ethnicities, distant societies, and minority groups. The growing interest in migratory aesthetics has brought into representation marginalized subjectivities in ways that depart from migrant depictions in the conventional media (e.g., the news bulletins) and the oversimplified and manipulated stories of marginalization in networked mainstream platforms. Against the backdrop of narrative theory and accessibility as a new terrain of human rights practice, this study examines the subtitling activity of what I identify as …

Digital Spaces of Collaboration in Aesthetic Counter Narratives: Hamedullah. The Road Home and The Mirror Project

2020

Based on Margaret Somers’s senses of narrative and narrativity by means of which “we constitute our social identities (1992: 600), this study focuses on the scrutiny of two digital “subversive” aesthetic products, namely, British filmmaker Sue Clayton’s documentary Hamedullah. The Road Home (2012) and German philosopher Kevin McElvaney’s The Mirror Project (2017), with the objective of highlighting how the unfolding of verbal and visual narratives can be treated as the principle and “inescapable” (Baker 2006: 9) mode by means of which marginalised subjectivities “experience the world” (Baker 2006: 9) and can render it familiar to the Western gaze. The narratives revealed by the Afghan boy, …

Video materiāli ar subtitriem angļu valodā lasīšanas ātruma un izpratnes paaugstināšanai 11. klasē

2020

Mūsdienās ir nepieciešama efektīva lasīšanas izpratne un ātrums, lai atrastu atbilstošu un patiesu informāciju, piemēram, laikrakstos, transporta grafikos un citos rakstveida avotos. Diplomdarba mērķis bija izpētīt, kā video materiālu ar angļu subtitriem pielietošana var palielināt lasīšanas ātrumu un izpratni 11. klasē. Pētījuma metode bija gadījuma pētījums ar 12 skolēnu izlasi. Datu vākšanas gaitā tika veikti skolēnu lasīšanas ātruma un izpratnes mērījumi, ievāktas atgriezeniskās saites anketas un veiktas daļēji strukturētas intervijas ar divām skolotājām. Pētījuma rezultātā tika atklāts, ka nedaudz paaugstinājās lasīšanas ātrums, bet pazeminājās teksta izpratne. Šajā gadījumā video mate…

"In vitro" antagonism of a grapevine endophytic Bacillus subtilis strain towards "esca" fungi.

2008

Preliminary investigations on grapevines (CV Catarratto) with symptoms of “esca” permitted to isolate only bacterial colonies, from black punctuations belonging to the genus Bacillus. Particularly, an isolate was Gram-positive with spore forming and, on the basis of the partial 16S rRNA sequence comparison, it showed a similarity of 99% with Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis. There are numerous reports on the antagonistic activity of the species towards several phytopathogenic microorganisms. For this reason the possible bacterial control against the “esca” fungi (Phaeoacre- monium aleophilum, PAL; Phaemoniella clamidospora, PCH; Fomitiporia mediterranea, FOMED), was studied. The antagonist…

Testing audiovisual comprehension tasks with questions embedded in videos as subtitles: a pilot multimethod study

2017

<p>Listening, watching, reading and writing simultaneously in a foreign language is very complex. This paper is part of wider research which explores the use of audiovisual comprehension questions imprinted in the video image in the form of subtitles and synchronized with the relevant fragments for the purpose of language learning and testing. Compared to viewings where the comprehension activity is available only on paper, this innovative methodology may provide some benefits. Among them, it could reduce the conflict in visual attention between watching the video and completing the task, by spatially and temporally approximating the questions and the relevant fragments. The technique…
