Spectacles in hybrid Japan: Deconstruction,semiotic excess,and obtuse meanings in Lost in Translation     

David C. Oh  Anna Wong Lowe 《Journal of International and Intercultural Communication》2017,10(2):153-167

This essay’s purpose is to recover Fiskean deconstructive criticism as a means of examining the complexities of texts. Specifically, we argue that Lost in Translation’s moments of spectacle reveal that even in a text that reinforces White Orientalist views of Japan, the text’s obtuse meanings subvert, though not upturn, this dominant narrative. The film’s text reifies heteronormative masculinity and femininity with the blending of the pre- and postmodern Japan, yet obtuse meanings subvert the Western gaze and present hybrid queer spaces that complicate Western neocolonial domination. Subversion cannot completely overturn those meanings, but guerrilla opportunities allow for tactical resistance.  相似文献

英语被动语态在纯客观的一般性科技语体中使用很多,正是因为语体的客观性,人称行为主体(施事者)在科技英语被动句中通常不予出现,而物称行为主体则一般不能省略。本文分类分析了科技英语被动句的物称行为主体,并依据不同的行为主体所起的不同语义作用以及英汉两种语言在表现形式上的差异对其翻译技巧进行了初步的探讨。  相似文献
