Sinossi

History of Subtitles explores the fascinating and often overlooked story of how subtitles and dubbing have shaped global cinema. Beyond mere translation, these linguistic tools have fostered cultural exchange and influenced how audiences engage with foreign films. Early silent films relied on intertitles to convey dialogue, a practice that evolved with technological advancements. The book highlights the tensions between artistic integrity and accessibility, examining how dubbing can alter a film's original intent to suit different cultural norms, while subtitling aims to bridge linguistic gaps without compromising the source material.

 
The book progresses chronologically, tracing the evolution of subtitling from the intertitles of silent films to modern digital practices in the streaming era. It delves into the rise of global film markets in the mid-20th century, which spurred the development of efficient subtitling techniques. By drawing on archival materials, film reviews, and insights from translation studies, the book reveals how subtitles empower filmmakers to reach wider audiences and also reflect cultural and linguistic power dynamics, impacting language learning and intercultural understanding.

Passion for Compasses - Medieval...

Klug Sonja Ulrike

How medieval architects drew cathedral building plans
The architectural history of the Middle Ages is full of surprises. It is difficult for us to imagine today that relatively few construction plans have been found for the impressive churches and cathedrals of the Romanesque and Gothic periods. Where did most of the drawings go? Have the plans been destroyed in Europe or lost over time? Or were they not made at all? 
Although hardly any architectural drawings exist, there were numerous compasses. What were they used for and how? Was it possible to design complex buildings such as churches and cathedrals without blueprints? 
The author takes her readers on an exciting cultural and historical journey through time. 
She looks at the spread of papyrus, parchment and paper and traces the ability to write and calculate in Europe. She also looks at the construction process in historical illustrations and draws comparisons with Arabic architecture. Last but not least, she shows what types of compasses existed and how the drawing skills of master builders developed up to the Renaissance. 
The insights into the history of architecture lead to surprising findings: The architects of the Middle Ages thought and planned very differently than we imagine today.

The paranormal television series Stranger Things taps into the mysterious elements that have fueled spiritual questions for millennia. The otherworldly manifestations in Hawkins, Indiana offer compelling portrayals of important spiritual truths--and many of these truths are echoed in the supernatural worldview of the Bible.

Now he turns his attention to the worldwide television phenomenon, exploring how Stranger Things relates to Christian theology and the Christian life.
