Look Who’s Talking: The Use of Dubbing in Advanced Italian Courses, Felice Beneduce
2022-12-02 10:00 - 11:00 | columbiauniversity.zoom.us/j/8472087081
Please save the date for the upcoming Look Who’s Talking: The Use of Dubbing in Advanced Italian Courses event with distinguished guest speaker Columbia Professor Felice Beneduce. The topic and purpose of his presentation will be to examine the use of dubbing analysis and redubbing as pedagogical instruments in my Advanced Italian Courses at Columbia University and to provide fellow language instructors with a pedagogical tool that I have found exceptionally effective. The study of the cultural fluidity and hybridity that dubbing represents constitutes in my courses the basis for a contextualized review of advanced grammatical functions and the presentation of aspects of Italian culture that dubbing brings to the forefront. This is particularly true in Italy which has historically promoted dubbing over subtitling (in cinema and television) thereby introducing national characteristics through what Chiara Ferrari has defined as “cultural ventriloquism”.
It will take place virtually on Friday, 2 December 2022 at 3 pm.
Invited Guest Talk: Dr. Felice Beneduce
Friday, December 2nd, 2022 from 3-4 pm
Hosted Virtually: columbiauniversity.zoom.us/j/8472087081
