AUS holds a symposium on screen translation
Importance of translation cannot be underestimatedOrganized by the Department of Arabic and Translation Studies (ATS) at the AUS College of Arts and Sciences, the symposium brought together successful individuals who were connected with the AUS Masters of Arts in English/Arabic/English Translation and Interpreting (MATI) Program. This was the second MATI Symposium, following the success of last year's.
The symposium was inaugurated by Dr. Mark Rush, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "When cultures meet, translation--and the rule by which it is conducted and the art with which it is employed--is the only thing between understanding and, perhaps, discord. Without translation, there is cacophony," said Dr. Rush.
The daylong event consisted of three sessions, the first of which was chaired by Dr. Sattar Izwaini, Assistant Professor in Arabic and Translation Studies. The opening remarks and first presentation was delivered by Dr. Said Faiq, Professor in Arabic and Translation Studies and was entitled "Looking for Signatures in Subtitling."
The second session was chaired by MATI student, Ahmed Abu Saad and had presentations on "What is Said is Not What You Get: Register Shift in Subtitling" by Dr. Izwaini; "Cultural Representation in the Subtitling of Freej" by Nouf Alwan, a MATI graduate; and "The Dubbing of Timon and Pumbaa Cartoon into Egyptian Dialect" by MATI student, Budor Al Alami.
The last presentation of the symposium was "Subtitling of Yacoubian Building" by MATI student Dalia Noaman during the final session which was chaired by another MATI student Hayyan Al-Rosan.
