Sinopse

Dubbed Film Oddities explores the fascinating world of film dubbing, revealing how it goes beyond simple translation to become a complex process of cultural and linguistic adaptation. The book highlights how dubbing can unintentionally transform a film's meaning and comedic impact, often leading to humorous or bizarre alterations. For example, jokes and idioms that resonate in one culture might be nonsensical in another, necessitating rewrites that dramatically shift a narrative's focus. This deeper look reveals the subjective nature of filmmaking, where films are constantly reinterpreted across cultural boundaries.

 
The book is structured into three parts, beginning with the history and technical aspects of dubbing, then moving into specific case studies that highlight humorous alterations and cultural misunderstandings. Finally, it delves into the ethical and artistic implications of dubbing, positioning the dubbing artist as a co-creator.

 
What sets this book apart is its focus on the unintended consequences of dubbing, providing a novel perspective on film adaptation within the performing arts and offering insights into cross-cultural communication.

Skirts - Fashioning Modern...

Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell

In a sparkling social history, Skirts traces the shifting roles of women over the twentieth century through the era's most iconic and influential dresses. 
 
 
 
While the story of women's liberation has often been framed by the growing acceptance of pants over the twentieth century, the most important and influential female fashions of the era featured skirts. Suffragists and soldiers marched in skirts; the heroines of the Civil Rights Movement took a stand in skirts. As women made strides towards equality in the vote, the workforce, and the world at large, their wardrobes evolved with them. 
 
 
 
Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell's Skirts looks at the history of twentieth-century womenswear through the lens of game-changing styles like the little black dress and the Bar Suit, as well as more obscure innovations like the Taxi dress or the Pop-Over dress, which came with a matching potholder. These influential garments illuminate the times in which they were first worn—and the women who wore them—while continuing to shape contemporary fashion and even opening the door for a genderfluid future of skirts. At once an authoritative work of history and a delightfully entertaining romp through decades of fashion, Skirts charts the changing fortunes, freedoms, and aspirations of women themselves.

All My Sons

Arthur Miller

World War II is over and a family, mourning a son missing in action, plants a memorial tree and tries to go on with their lives. A storm blows down the tree and a devastating family secret is uprooted, setting the characters on a terrifying journey towards truth. Based upon a true story, All My Son is a classic drama by one of America’s greatest playwrights.

At the heart of All My Sons lies a scathing criticism of the American Dream. After its publication Arthur Miller was called to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee, where he famously refused to give evidence against others.

Tony Award Winner for Best Author (1947)

AudioFile Magazine review: “One of the strengths of L.A. Theatre Works is their skill at selecting quality plays previously unavailable on audio. Arthur Miller’s 1947 breakthrough play is at once a postwar family drama, an indictment of false societal values and a searing tragedy. James Farentino plays businessman Joe Keller with a gruff bluster that sometimes masks a sacrificial love for his son Chris (Arye Gross), an idealist home from the war. Julie Harris, as the mother, Kate, is alternately needy, demanding, lovingly solicitous and willfully blind to the past. The live responses of the audience underscore the touches of humor that season the early acts of this landmark American drama.”

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring James Farentino, Arye Gross, Julie Harris, Mitchell Hebert, Naomi Jacobson, Barbara Klein, Paul Morella, Michaeleen O'Neil, Nathan Taylor and Jerry Whiddon.
