Pequod - is an exploration of the translation problem. And an idea to examine the myth of"why the book is always better than the movie."The work began by choosing a character to interpret. My choice was the characteristicCaptain Ahab and his mono manic quest for revenge. The character is taken from HermanMenvilles classic novel "Moby Dick" or "The White wale" from 1851.In order to interpret the character differently, I picked out passages from the novel thatdirectly describes the first sight of the character. And also a paragraph describing thecharacter's inner thoughts and ideas about their environment.I did a survey of the descriptions with leading questions about the character's outfit,garments, materials, colours and accessories. I handle out the survey to 15 creative personsand asked them to interpret the character for me, but also make a quick sketch of him.The participants was totally unaware of witch character it was all about. / Program: Modedesignutbildningen

This dissertation explores the global history of Chinese script reforms—the effort to phoneticize Chinese language and/or simplify the writing system—from its inception in the 1890s to its demise in the 1980s. These reforms took place at the intersection of industrialization, colonialism, and new information technologies, such as alphabet-based telegraphy and breakthroughs in printing technologies. As these social and technological transformations put unprecedented pressure on knowledge management and the use of mental and clerical labor, many Chinese intellectuals claimed that learning Chinese characters consumed too much time and mental energy. Chinese script reforms, this dissertation argues, were an effort to increase speed in producing, transmitting, and accessing information, and thus meet the demands of the industrializing knowledge economy. The industrializing knowledge economy that this dissertation explores was built on and sustained by a psychological understanding of the human subject as a knowledge machine, and it was part of a global moment in which the optimization of labor in knowledge production was a key concern for all modernizing economies. While Chinese intellectuals were inventing new signs of inscription, American behavioral psychologists, Soviet psycho-economists, and Central Asian and Ottoman technicians were all experimenting with new scripts in order to increase mental efficiency and productivity. This dissertation reveals the intimate connections between the Chinese and non-Chinese script engineering projects that were taking place synchronically across the world. The chapters of this work demonstrate for the first time, for instance, that the simplification of Chinese characters in the 1920s and 1930s was intimately connected to the discipline of behavioral psychology in the US. The first generation of Chinese psychologists employed the American psychologists’ methods to track eye movements, count word-frequencies, and statistically analyze the speed of reading, writing, and memorizing in order to simplify and “rationalize” the Chinese writing system in an effort to discipline and optimize mental labor. Other chapters explore the issue of mental and clerical optimization by finding the origins of the Chinese Latin Alphabet (CLA), the mother of pinyin, in hitherto unknown Eurasian connections. The CLA, the pages of this work shows, was the product of a transnational exchange that involved Ottoman and Transcaucasian typographers as well as Russian engineers and Chinese communists who sought efficiency in knowledge production through inventing new scripts. Situating the Chinese script reforms at this global intersection of psychology, economy, and linguistics, this dissertation examines the global connections and forces that turned the human subject into a knowledge worker who was cognitively managed through education, literacy, propaganda, and other measures of organizing information, all of which had the script at the center. The search for efficiency and productivity—the core values of industrialism—lay at the heart of script reforms in China, but this search was inseparable from linguistic orders and political ambitions. Even if writing, transmitting, and learning a phonetic script could theoretically be easier and more efficient than the Chinese characters, the alphabet opened a veritable Pandora’s Box around the issue of selection: given the complex linguistic landscape in China, which speech was a phonetic script supposed to represent? There were myriad languages spoken throughout the empire and the subsequent nation-state, most of which were mutually incomprehensible. Mandarin as spoken in Beijing was different from that spoken in the south, and “topolects” or regional languages such as Min or Cantonese were to Mandarin what Romanian is to English. As a linguistic life-or-death issue, phonetic scripts stood for the infrastructural possibilities and limitations in the representation of speeches. Some scripts, such as Lao Naixuan’s phonetic script composed of more than a hundred signs, were capable of representing multiple Mandarin and non-Mandarin speeches; whereas others, such as Phonetic Symbols that only has thirty-seven syllabic signs, represented only one speech, i.e., Mandarin. Using Mandarin-oriented scripts to transcribe non-Mandarin speeches was like writing English with fifteen letters, hence the acrimonious disputes that fill the pages of this dissertation. Succinctly put, it was at the level of script invention that Chinese and non-Chinese actors engineered different infrastructures not only for laboring minds but also for the social world of Chinese languages. The history of information technologies and knowledge economy in China was thus inseparable from the world of speech and language, as each script offered a new potential to reassemble the written matter and the speaking mind in a different way. “Codes of Modernity” thus conceptualizes the script itself as an infrastructural medium. A script was not merely a passive carrier of information, but an existential artifact. Building on an expanding literature on infrastructures, it endorses the observation that infrastructures, technologies, and the social world around them work in a recursive loop. An infrastructure is not just the physical object that permits the flow of information, goods, ideas, and people, but a sociotechnical product that enables the experience of culture, while imposing constrains on it at the same time. Like electricity grids, transportation systems, and sewage canals, the experience of scripts as infrastructures is the experience of thought worlds. After a long tradition of structuralism and poststructuralism that sought to understand the world through the semiotic prism of language, “Codes of Modernity” argues that it is time for an infrastructuralism that excavates the indispensable media that enable the production of language and thought.

A presente dissertação tem como objetivo analisar o processo de elaboração da personagem Jesus de O Evangelho Segundo Jesus Cristo, de José Saramago, a partir da consideração do cânone literário que tem como propósito reler a história estabelecida pelos evangelhos escritos nos primórdios do Cristianismo. Isto é feito primeiro pela seleção de alguns exemplos do referido cânone e depois pela análise da personagem saramaguiana procurando mostrar como ela se relaciona com essas outras versões de Cristo / This dissertation has as objective analyzes the process of the elaboration character Jesus of José Saramago\'s O Evangelho Segundo Jesus Cristo, starting from the consideration of the literary canon that has as purpose to read again the established history for the Gospel written in the origins of the Christianity. That is done first by the selection of some examples of the referred canon and later for the analysis of the Saramago\'s character trying to show like it relations with those other versions of Christ.

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / O presente trabalho analisa a traduÃÃo do romance/biografia Orlando (1928), de Virginia Woolf para as telas, no filme homÃnimo de 1993, da diretora Sally Potter. Orlando conta a histÃria de um nobre inglÃs que cultiva o dom da escrita literÃria, vive por mais de trezentos anos e que sofre uma mudanÃa de sexo, do masculino para o feminino. O foco da nossa pesquisa à a traduÃÃo da personagem principal, da literatura para o cinema: delineamos alguns traÃos de sua personalidade para compreendÃ-lo dentro do romance/biografia, como tambÃm consideramos alguns aspectos externos que o complementam ou fazem parte da sua construÃÃo; posteriormente, submetemos a personagem cinematogrÃfica ao mesmo processo a fim de compararmos ambos. Para tal, partimos de uma prÃvia contextualizaÃÃo histÃrica dos objetos e de seus contextos de criaÃÃo. Nossa pesquisa à fundamentada na teoria dos polissistemas de Itamar Even-Zohar (1978), no conceito de traduÃÃo como reescritura de Andrà Lefevere (2007), no estudo da personagem de ficÃÃo de Antonio Candido (2007) e nos estudos de estÃtica do cinema, de Jacques Aumont (1995). NÃo pretendemos com esta pesquisa lanÃar juÃzo de valor comparativo a nenhuma das obras, muito menos chegar a afirmar que uma à melhor em detrimento da outra. Todavia, almejamos demonstrar qual a contribuiÃÃo da personagem do romance/biografia na construÃÃo da personagem cinematogrÃfica e em que medida esta contribui e influencia na ampliaÃÃo de novos leitores do livro de Woolf. A priori, compreendemos que a construÃÃo da personagem do romance/biografia està ligada a dois pontos fundamentais: Vita Sackville-West, a quem o romance à dedicado, e ao desejo de libertaÃÃo (intelectual e financeira) da escritora, tema recorrente nas palestras e escritos de Woolf naquela dÃcada. Partimos da ideia de que Sally Potter trabalha a imortalidade e o desejo de liberdade de sua personagem de maneira diferente: seu foco se volta para o social e para implicaÃÃes pÃs-coloniais, trazendo-a de uma personalidade de identidade britÃnica para uma mais universal. Esta pesquisa à financiada pela FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico â FUNCAP. / The following study analyses the translation of the novel/biography Orlando (1928), by Virginia Woolf, to its homonymous film adaptation in 1993, directed by Sally Potter. Orlando tells the story of an English nobleman who owns the gift of literary writing and lives for more than three hundred years, changing his sex, from male to female. The focus of our research is the translation of the main character, Orlando, from novel to film: we outlined some aspects of his/her personality to understand him/her actions throughout the novel/biography, and also considered some external aspects that complement or are part of his/her construction. Then, we submit the film character to the same process, to compare both. In order to do so, we started from a prior historical contextualization of the objects and their contexts of production. Our research is based on Itamar Even-Zoharâs polysystem theory (1978), the concept of translation as rewriting, by Andre Lefevere (2007), Antonio Candidoâs study of the fictional character (2007), and Jacques Aumontâs studies about the aesthetics of cinema (1995). We do not intend to evaluate any of the objects (novel and movie), or to say that one is better than another. However, we aim to demonstrate what was the contribution of the character of the novel/biography to the construction of the film character, and to what extent the film character contributes and influences to the new readers of Woolfâs book. Primarily, we are aware that the construction of the character in the novel/biography is linked to two fundamental points: Vita Sackville-West, to whom the novel is dedicated, and the desire of freedom (intellectual and financial) to the writer, a relevant theme in Woolfâs speeches and writings of that decade. Sally Potter deals with her characterâs immortality and freedom desire in a different way: her focus turns into implications of social and post-colonial issues, turning Orlando from an initial British identity to a more universal one.

This is the thorough examination of Allyson Malandra's process of becoming a character, and the many different challenges and triumphs she has faced throughout the past three years of developing her craft. It also aims to bring into focus where the work will be headed throughout the many years to come. The goal of this process paper is to examine the many different details and intricacies that go into a role, and also how to troubleshoot problems that may arise throughout the journey. Our process is how we, as actors, attempt to create life on stage, and discover and unfold the underlying truth that connects all human beings. It is understood that each role for an actor will present a different set of chges, and therefore it is important to understand a baseline process that gets at the core of the actor's work. Through examination of this process, previous and current chges in the work will be discussed, as well as ways to move through these issues. Ideas on what is valuable in acting will be discussed, as a way of staying centered and focused, and also retaining quality in the craft. The examination will also explore three main pillars of the work--breathe, listen, and play--and how these anchor Allyson's artistry. The ultimate goals of this examination are to create a support for the process, to chge her work in the future, and to help her continue to grow and expand, both as an artist and as a person.
