Para além da fidelidade na adaptação audiovisual: o caso da minissérie televisiva Capitu

Despite the theoretical advances that have discredited the notion of “faithfulness” regarding the adaptation as an intermediatic phenomenon, it still insists on coming up. Capitu, a mini-series shown by the Rede Globo network has been regarded as “unfaithful” to the novel Dom Casmurro. It is a perfect example for this article of the perception of the audiovisual language resources that work as valid analogies to Machado de Assis’ novel, indicating the misconception that underlies the notion of “faithfulness”.

A iteratividade: do melodrama à narrativa audiovisual sob demanda

The repetition should be understood as the property of mass cultural products, originated from the need to minimize the dispersion of the audience in their enjoyment. Based on this assumption, this paper measures the rate of iteration manifested in the scripts of the following serial fictions: Duas Caras, A Grande Família and House of Cards. Established itself as a method of scene analysis proposed by McKee (2008), questioned whether the lack of classical education of the public and rescued the forms assumed by repeating the melodrama, romance-serial and dramaturgy: asides, monologues, confidences and planar scenes. The proposal was applied in two scripts for each of the aforementioned productions. Considering the data collected, it appears that there was reduction in repeat products offered on demand thanks to the possibility of handling the flow and the attention given receptor.

Availability and Use of Audiovisual and Electronic Resources by Distance Learning Students in Nigerian Universities: a Case Study of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Ibadan Study Centre

This study investigated the availability and use of audiovisual and electronic resources by distance learning students at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). A questionnaire was administered tothe distance learning students selected across the various departments of the NOUN. The findings revealed that even though NOUN made provision for audiovisual and electronic resources for students' use, a majority of the audiovisual and electronic resources are available through personal provision by the students.The study also revealed regular use of audiovisual and electronic resources by the distance learning students. Constraints on use include poor power supply, poor infrastructure, lack of adequate skill, and high cost of access.

Sistemas de difusión, protocolos y plataformas digitales para documentación audiovisual : herramientas y recursos Web 2.0

Ponencia presentada en el Encuentro de patrimonio audiovisual de Gran Canaria (13 de julio al 31 de agosto de 2012. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria). Resumen: La producción de filmaciones y grabaciones sonoras ya no solo se realiza con medios digitales, sino que se transmite de igual modo. Al igual que otros entornos utilizados para preservar la memoria colectiva, el ámbito audiovisual es ya impensable sin los medios que, cada día más, se encuentran al alcance no sólo de los técnicos, sino de la población en general. Su calidad y acceso a los nuevos canales de distribución a través de Internet, particularmente mediante los entornos Web 2.0 permiten que la generación de contenidos y su difusión estén casi al alcance de cualquiera. Sin embargo, los conocimientos necesarios para favorecer su consulta sin barreras, las herramientas más adecuadas, los protocolos que hay que cumplir, el enfoque de esta producción como patrimonio y las políticas de preservación a largo plazo, sigue siendo en buena parte desconocidos.

Interacción basada en visión por computador mediante reacTIVision para la generación, control e interpretación de mensajes MIDI y su utilización en la creación audiovisual

[ES] Uno de los últimos avances en tecnología que más interés está despertando es la tecnología multitouch. Esta técnica ofrece una nueva forma de interacción hombre-máquina donde las aplicaciones gráficas son manejadas usando eventos táctiles. Esto abre la puerta a una comunicación más intuitiva y más directa entre el usuario y la máquina. Para lograr esto, son necesarios dos elementos: una superficie multitouch y una interfaz adaptada para el uso con eventos táctiles y objetos físicos que tendrán unos marcadores asignados. Con este proyecto buscamos desarrollar un dispositivo multitouch y un software para la creación de música digital mediante eventos táctiles y objetos. Para ello, es necesario investigar en distintos campos como son el del procesamiento de imágenes, hardware y desarrollo de aplicaciones e interfaces gráficas.

Teaching and learning english phonetics and phonology in the EHEA through design and creation of audiovisual material at the ULPGC

[ES]In this paper we describe the procedure followed in the design and recording of a set of videos for teaching and learning ‘English phonetics and phonology’, a second-year undergraduate course at Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The student’s L1 is Spanish. Two different types of technological support were used: screencast and Powerpoint® presentations. The traditional whiteboard together with the lecturer’s presence also contributed both to the integrated learning of certain acoustic/articulatory aspects of the course contents and to the use of specific software for speech analysis. This video production owns the advantage of being an interactive and autonomous tool which favours a continuous learning process on the student’s side.

Ancient Greek harbours used as geo-archives for palaeotsunami research : case studies from Krane (Cefalonia), Lechaion (Gulf of Corinth) and Kyllini (Peloponnese)

Since historical times, coastal areas throughout the eastern Mediterranean are exposed to tsunami hazard. For many decades the knowledge about palaeotsunamis was solely based on historical accounts. However, results from timeline analyses reveal different characteristics affecting the quality of the dataset (i.e. distribution of data, temporal thinning backward of events, local periodization phenomena) that emphasize the fragmentary character of the historical data. As an increasing number of geo-scientific studies give convincing examples of well dated tsunami signatures not reported in catalogues, the non-existing record is a major problem to palaeotsunami research. While the compilation of historical data allows a first approach in the identification of areas vulnerable to tsunamis, it must not be regarded as reliable for hazard assessment. Considering the increasing economic significance of coastal regions (e.g. for mass tourism) and the constantly growing coastal population, our knowledge on the local, regional and supraregional tsunami hazard along Mediterranean coasts has to be improved. For setting up a reliable tsunami risk assessment and developing risk mitigation strategies, it is of major importance (i) to identify areas under risk and (ii) to estimate the intensity and frequency of potential events. This approach is most promising when based on the analysis of palaeotsunami research seeking to detect areas of high palaeotsunami hazard, to calculate recurrence intervals and to document palaeotsunami destructiveness in terms of wave run-up, inundation and long-term coastal change. Within the past few years, geo-scientific studies on palaeotsunami events provided convincing evidence that throughout the Mediterranean ancient harbours were subject to strong tsunami-related disturbance or destruction. Constructed to protect ships from storm and wave activity, harbours provide especially sheltered and quiescent environments and thus turned out to be valuable geo-archives for tsunamigenic high-energy impacts on coastal areas. Directly exposed to the Hellenic Trench and extensive local fault systems, coastal areas in the Ionian Sea and the Gulf of Corinth hold a considerably high risk for tsunami events, respectively.Geo-scientific and geoarcheaological studies carried out in the environs of the ancient harbours of Krane (Cefalonia Island), Lechaion (Corinth, Gulf of Corinth) and Kyllini (western Peloponnese) comprised on-shore and near-shore vibracoring and subsequent sedimentological, geochemical and microfossil analyses of the recovered sediments. Geophysical methods like electrical resistivity tomography and ground penetrating radar were applied in order to detect subsurface structures and to verify stratigraphical patterns derived from vibracores over long distances. The overall geochronological framework of each study area is based on radiocarbon dating of biogenic material and age determination of diagnostic ceramic fragments. Results presented within this study provide distinct evidence of multiple palaeotsunami landfalls for the investigated areas. Tsunami signatures encountered in the environs of Krane, Lechaion and Kyllini include (i) coarse-grained allochthonous marine sediments intersecting silt-dominated quiescent harbour deposits and/or shallow marine environments, (ii) disturbed microfaunal assemblages and/or (iii) distinct geochemical fingerprints as well as (iv) geo-archaeological destruction layers and (v) extensive units of beachrock-type calcarenitic tsunamites. For Krane, geochronological data yielded termini ad or post quem (maximum ages) for tsunami event generations dated to 4150 ± 60 cal BC, ~ 3200 ± 110 cal BC, ~ 650 ± 110 cal BC, and ~ 930 ± 40 cal AD, respectively. Results for Lechaion suggest that the harbour was hit by strong tsunami impacts in the 8th-6th century BC, the 1st-2nd century AD and in the 6th century AD. At Kyllini, the harbour site was affected by tsunami impact in between the late 7th and early 4th cent. BC and between the 4th and 6th cent. AD. In case of Lechaion and Kyllini, the final destruction of the harbour facilities also seems to be related to the tsunami impact. Comparing the tsunami signals obtained for each study areas with geo-scientific data from palaeotsunami events from other sites indicates that the investigated harbour sites represent excellent geo-archives for supra-regional mega-tsunamis.
