Abstract

"The first computer-generated animated feature film, Toy Story (1995) sustains a dynamic vitality that proved instantly appealing to audiences of all ages. Like the great Pop Artists, Pixar Studios affirmed the energy of modern commercial popular culture and, in doing so, created a distinctive alternative to the usual Disney formula. Tom Kemper traces the film's genesis, production history and reception to demonstrate how its postmodern mishmash of pop culture icons and references represented a fascinating departure from Disney's fine arts style and fairytale naturalism. By foregrounding the way in which Toy Story flipped the conventional relationship between films and their ancillary merchandising by taking consumer products as its very subject, Kemper provides an illuminating, revisionist exploration of this groundbreaking classic."--Page [4] of cover.

Abstract

Toy Story (John Lasseter, 1995), Pixar's first feature-length production and Hollywood's first completely computer-generated animated film, is an international cultural phenomenon. This collection brings together a diverse range of scholars and practitioners who together explore the themes, compositional techniques, cultural significance and industry legacy of this landmark in contemporary cinema. Topics range from industrial concerns, such as the film's groundbreaking use of computer generated imagery and the establishment of Pixar as a major player in the animation world, to examinations of its music, aesthetics, and the role of toys in both the film and its fandom. The Toy Story franchise as a whole is also considered, with chapters looking at its cross-generational appeal and the experience of growing up alongside the series. As the first substantial work on this landmark film, this book will serve as an authoritative introduction for scholars, students and fans alike.

Abstract

Doelstellingen: Deze masterproef onderzoekt in welke mate en op welke manier discourse markers (pragmatische partikels)vertaald worden in de Vlaamse gedubde versie van de animatiefilm Toy Story. Een vergelijkende studie moet het functioneel potentieel bepalen van de Engelse en de Vlaamse pragmatische partikels en bepalen in welke mate er sprake is van overlap. Middelen of methode: Eerst werd via een theoretisch kader de term “discourse markers” gedefinieerd en werden de kenmerken ervan uitgelegd. Vervolgens werd via een corpusonderzoek nagegaan hoe vaak en op welke manier discourse markers vertaald werden naar het Vlaams. Op basis hiervan werden vier vertaalstrategiën onderscheiden: (1) de Engelse discourse marker wordt niet vertaald, (2) de Engelse discourse marker wordt vertaald door een letterlijk equivalent in het Vlaams, (3) de Engelse marker wordt vertaald door een andere Vlaamse marker, (4) de Engelse marker wordt op een volledig andere manier vertaald. Nadien werd een selectie gemaakt van die pragmatische partikels en werd hun functioneel potentieel achterhaald en geïllustreerd aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de transcriptie. Tenslotte werd nagegaan of er functionele overlap is tussen de Engelse en de Vlaamse pragmatische partikels. Resultaten: Het onderzoek toonde aan dat de overgrote meerderheid van de Engelse discourse markers vertaald is naar het Vlaams. Bovendien werd vastgesteld dat vertaling door middel van een letterlijk equivalent in veel gevallen de meest voorkomende vertaalstrategie is, wat ook wijst op functionele overlap. In sommige gevallen valt echter op dat deletie of vertaling door andere DMs vaker voorkomt (voorbij bij de vertaling van now), wat wijst op minder systematische overlap tussen 'now' en de letterlijke equivalent 'nu' wat functies betreft.

Abstract

"In Pixar and the Aesthetic Imagination, Eric Herhuth draws upon film theory, animation theory, and philosophy to examine modes of animation storytelling that address aesthetic experience within contexts of technological, environmental, and socio-cultural change. Since producing the first fully computer-animated feature film, Pixar Animation Studios has been a creative force in digital culture and popular entertainment. But more specifically, its depictions of uncanny toys, technologically sublime worlds, fantastic characters, and sensorial intensities explore aesthetic experience and its relation to developments in global media, creative capitalism, and consumer culture. This investigation considers Pixar's artificial worlds and transformational stories as opportunities for thinking through aesthetics as a contested domain committed to newness and innovation, as well as criticism and pluralistic thought"--Provided by publisher.
