Gains And Losses

This article will explore the Good News Bible (GNB) as an example of a translation designed to “localize” the source text—in this case, by virtue of its strategy to produce a translation in contemporary language. In this approach, designed to enhance the reader’s chance of making meaning, there are gains and losses. On one level, greater accessibility to the text for a wider audience may seem to be achieved, while at another level, access to the otherness/alterity in the source text (intertextuality, wordplay, etc.) is closed off. Several examples will illustrate some of these gains and losses in GNB.

Fundamental Values

The purpose of this paper is to explain the underreaction of investors to information. In order to study the adjustment of prices to a fundamental value, we implement experimental markets with fluctuating fundamental values. The experimental design employed involves two treatments differentiated according to the information disclosed to the participants. The results show an underreaction to a change in the fundamental value. This underreaction is greatest when most of the subjects are facing a paper loss. This suggests that the disposition effect has a strong impact on price formation. Once most of the subjects are in a paper gain situation, the underreaction is at its lowest level when they receive good news. Thus, underreaction to information is influenced by paper gains and losses.

Anti Jewish

In some cases the meaning-based approach used in the translation of the Good News Bible appears to support translational choices that strengthen or even introduce anti-Judaism in translation. There are instances where such translational choices are not required by the source text. It is possible, in the examples selected for discussion, to arrive at translations that follow the source text closely, are less anti-Jewish, and conform to the principles of a meaning-based approach. In principle, almost every translator of texts from the New Testament faces translational choices possibly introducing a note of anti-Judaism in translation. However, the meaning-based approach might disambiguate ambiguous passages in a way that introduces a stronger note of anti-Judaism (if compared to more formally equivalent translations), as one of the examples indicates.

What does it mean for a series or f ilm to be adapted to a vid? The final chapter of Fanvids is an analysis of three Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009) vids, designed to examine both the vid’s relationship with adaptation and the central role that songs play in making meaning in vids. Vids rely heavily on their soundtrack to structure meaning, with vocals, lyrics, and instrumentation vital in completing the vid’s reinterpretation of its source text. In this case, the music, voice, and star image of the recording artist Pink are used to appraise Kara ‘Starbuck’ Thrace. Each vid in the trilogy was made at different points during Battlestar’s production; the trilogy reflects the character’s development and memorializes the series’ (frustrated) potential for a particular kind of feminist representation.
