[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar and reminder for Joacim Lindh's final seminar

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear all, Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar, will Lars Elleström will present his article draft on “Media Translation and Media Transformation” (attached). Reading instructions from Lars Elleström: The article is intended for an upcoming Routledge handbook of translation theory. The editors have asked me to present my own ideas with references to other research (not to make an overview of intermedial and multimodal translation research). Some of you will recognize quite a lot from my earlier publications, although in a condensed and partly newly structured form. Some of the old stuff is also partly reconceptualized. I apologize for the length of the draft. Although I’m free to submit an extensive first draft, the editors will probably ask me to abridge it in the end. I’ve struggled hard to cut it down but failed. How shall I proceed with this? I ask you to please reflect especially on the last section, “From Media Translation to Media Transformation”. The overview here is not very reader-friendly, I fear, but I don’t know what to do about it. The conclusion remains to be written simply because of lack of time. What is needed here? Thanks for your patience, Lars The seminar is on the 1. Sep from 10.15-12.00 CEST. As always the seminar will be on zoom: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/940933326 Remember that Joacim Lindh will also have a seminar on the 1. September from 13.00-15.00 CEST. This is his final seminar before his defense, where we will discuss his thesis draft (this has been mailed out in a previous mail), ”Tingsrätten håller huvudförhandling. Språkliga och multimodala perspektiv i brottmålsrättegångar”. This seminar is in Swedish and will be held on zoom (NB: this is not in the IMS zoom room): https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/7509655842.

[Publik.ims] PhD defence 10 Sep.: "Musicalized Characters: A study of music, multimodality, and the empiric child perspective on mainstream animation"

by publik.ims＠lists.sunet.se

Dear IMS, IFL and friends of IMS As some of you are probably aware, my PhD defence is coming up. The defence will take place on the 10 September from 13.00-16.00 (Swedish time), and it will be possible to join either in person on campus or online via zoom. For those of you who want to participate online, the link will be published on the same day here: https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/current/events/2021/public-defen… The thesis (including a comprehensive appendix with summaries of the transcriptions) Musicalized Characters: A study of music, multimodality, and the empiric child perspective on mainstream animation is now available online for those of you who want to read it, and you can find it here: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:lnu:diva-106204. For those of you who want to participate in person, the defense will be in Weber at the LNU campus in Växjö. After the defense, we will have a small reception, and in the evening, I hope many of you will join me in town for dinner and/or drinks (but, unfortunately, at your own expense) to celebrate. If any of you already know that you plan to come to the reception and/or dinner in town, could you please email me so I can have some idea about how many people to expect? Thesis abstract: This thesis is an audience reception study of film music and animation film. It focuses on the musical construction of characters, looking at how music becomes meaningful in film and how this meaning becomes part of child audiences' interpretation of filmic characters. To examine these questions, the thesis combines an interdisciplinary theoretical framework based on audience studies, multimodality, and film music studies with an empirical enquiry into child audiences' reception. Drawing on this theoretical and empirical synthesis, the thesis proposes two models of relevance to our understanding of reception and film music: 1. A new model for conceptualising film music as a multimodal system that combines with other semiotic systems to construct a multimodal dimension – the way this multimodal dimension is constructed affects the film's interpretive openness. 2. A general model for understanding reception as an active encounter between a multimodal text and an active audience. The model proposes that reception is constrained on three interconnected levels: 1) the affordances of the multimodal text, 2) the framing following from the communicative situation as well as from the social position, personal experiences, and knowledge of the audiences, and 3) the multimodal dimension. In the thesis, the musical strategies and multimodal semiotic potential of Frozen (2013), Up (2009) and Shrek the Third (2007) are discussed and compared with Danish children's (aged 7-11) expressed understandings of the films (obtained through interviews). In this way, the thesis sheds light on how children relate to and use filmic form, particularly music, in negotiating the films’ content. The thesis shows that children are active and critical viewers with a broad film-musical literacy. The children draw on knowledge of film-musical conventions for creating mood and narrative expectations, and they comment on leitmotif techniques and make references to famous film music. The aesthetic elements of music and visuals are moreover a motivational factor for their enjoyment of the films, and the children use their personal experiences and cultural background for creating a frame within which to evaluate both the music, the characters, and the film as a whole. You can find more information about the thesis and the defense here: https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/current/events/2021/public-defen… I look forward to seeing you on the 10!
