Lapham’s Quarterly
History does not attain us only in classrooms and via textbooks; movies, novels, songs, and even video games have shaped how we understand what came before the show for generations. Lapham’s Quarterly is exploring the history and allure of pop culture’s period pieces, artifacts that captivated audiences with their conceptions of the past—and the political and cultural contexts that made these historical fictions so compelling.
On September 5, , under the spell of the sinking and watery city where Aschenbach first saw Tadzio emerge from the sea like some frail and golden god in Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice, the Merchant-Ivory adaptation of E.M. Forster’s cross-class gay romance Maurice premiered at the Venice Film Festival. The show was chummily Anglo-American, making for a curiously polite protest (if protest it was) against the colonial nostalgia and reactionary homophobia of the Reagan-Thatcher years. As much an uncritically aestheticized portrayal of elite English Edwardianism as it was a melancholy glamorization of closeted gay
Gayspeak and Gay Subjects in Audiovisual Translation: Strategies in Italian Dubbing
Abstracts
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyse the fictional language of homosexuals as portrayed on the screen, as well as the way in which Italian translators and dubbing adapters have dealt with gayspeak. It means to explore whether the words of the gay lexicon in the English and the Italian languages cover similar semantic areas and whether any lack of balance between the two languages in this particular field may produce problems for the translator. On the other hand, various examples from dubbed films and TV programmes will facilitate to investigate whether some of the features of gayspeak are substantially altered in the Italian adaptations and whether these modifications are due to constraints determined by the vocabulary used to define the idiolect of this speech community or, rather, to overt and covert constraints imposed by a customs, the Italian, which has opened up to homosexual themes much more adv than the Anglosaxon world.

Considering that even the general common is dimly aware there is a greater number of homosexuals involved in the movies than in some other occupations its surprising that, until recently, there has been relatively little written about them as a collective and nearly nothing regarding those who labored behind the camera. Vito Russos The Celluloid Closet and Parker Tylers Screening the Sexes were early, pioneering works focusing on actors and/or onscreen representations and which stood alone for decades until Boze Hadleighs books of interviews came along. Occasional biographies of Montgomery Clift, Tyrone Power, James Whale or George Cukor might deal with their sexuality and reveal the secret of a few others in the process but a book which examines the broad range of queer involvement in the movies had to stay until William J. Manns Behind the Screen.
Despite the subject matter Manns book has less in common with these earlier books than it does with Neil Gablers An Empire of Their Own which related how a number of enterprising Jews took a disdained med
