Literary and literal translations of poetry

[edit]

The current section on translation in the Wikiproject is mainly concerned with literal translations.

A section on citation of literary translations should be included. I think these should follow the general guidelines for "reliable sources" (WP:SOURCE). Author is notable (has Wikipedia article). Poetry is published by an established publishing house or journal.

Citation of literary translations: For articles on poets and poems published in foreign languages, it may be helpful to include citations to literary translations. Such citations should follow rules similar to those for "reliable sources" in Wikipedia articles: the cited work should have been published by an established publisher or journal that incorporates curation in some form.

non-free video samples

[edit]

For music, there is a guideline that non-free samples should be 30 s or 10% of a song, whichever is less. Seems appropriate to video clips.

The rationale for the example from Star Trek looks good.

third character

  • Naples as the third character. Brunette - "What rules Voyage to Italy is environment. Like Thomas Hardy's fictional Wessex, it becomes a powerful third character in the film, and its name is Italy. Most baldly stated, the film is about Katherine and Alex's confrontation with this otherness so utterly opposed to everything they know and understand. Where Alex is materialistic and superrational and Katherine is, initially, at any rate, overly aesthetic and otherworldly, Italy is sensual and earthbound."
  • Rossellini quote: (Gallagher)-thus the third character, Naples. Synopsis: Alex & Katherine don't know what to say to each other in the alien environment of Naples. Rossellini: "It struck me that the only way a rapprochement could come about was through the couple finding themselves complete strangers to everyone else."
  • Alex and Katherine's journey to Naples upends their marriage, and several critics have suggested that Naples itself acts as a "third character" in the film. Peter Brunette wrote of "a poweful third characer in the film, and its name is Italy. Most baldly stated, the film is about Katherine and Alex's confrontation with this otherness so utterly opposed to everything they know and understand. Where Alex is materialistic and superrational and Katherine is, initially, at any rate, overly aesthetic and otherworldly, Italy is sensual and earthbound." Tag Gallagher expressed a similar viewpoint, and quotes Rossellini as saying "It struck me that the only way a rapprochement could come about was through the couple finding themselves complete strangers to everyone else."

  • discussion of temps mort. Draw from Brunette, Mulvey chapter.
  • Brunette "In Voyage to Italy Rossellini's use of temps mort reaches a new level of complexity and suggestiveness, but develops clearly from the experiments undertaken in the uncut Italian version of Stromboli . In the much-remarked opening scene, for example, when we first see the Joyces driving along the highway toward Naples, the boredom is palpable. The car's engine hums soporifically, a train speeds in the opposite direction; immediately following the credits we have cut quickly to a train whistle that suddenly rends the image. "

OCLC 61529345. it was dismissed on release, with only a few critics understanding that it was carefully constructed to undermine conventions of event-driven narrative and open out space and time for thought. The places included in the film were carefully chosen for their resonances and associations, from which Rossellini creates an implicit, idiosyncratic, commentary on the cinema, its reality, its indexical quality, as well as its uncanny ability to preserve light.

Continuum. pp. 93–110. the structure which Rossellini has created allows the viewer to see nothing but the event itself. This brings to mind the way in which some bodies can exist in either an amorphous or a crystalline state. The art of Rossellini consists in knowing what has to be done to confer on the facts what is at once their most substantial and their most elegant shape-not the most graceful, but the sharpest in outline, the most direct, or the most trenchant. Neorealism discovers in Rossellini the style and the resources of abstraction. To have a regard for reality does not mean that what one does in fact is to pile up appearances. On the contrary, it means that one strips the appearances of all that is not essential, in order to get at the totality in its simplicity. The art of Rossellini is linear and melodic. True, several of his films make one think of a sketch: more is implicit in the line than it actually depicts. But is one to attribute such sureness of line to poverty of invention or to laziness? One would have to say the same of Matisse. Perhaps Rossellini is more a master of line than a painter, more a short-story writer than a novelist. But there is no hierarchy of genres, only of artists. This essay was originally published in French in 1955.

misc

  • Grunes, Dennis. "Voyage in Italy (Roberto Rossellini, 1953)". In each case she is accompanied by a guide (professionals; in one instance, a personal acquaintance instead), and somehow this accumulates into a stunning suggestion of Dante's The Divine Comedy, especially as Katherine moves from the hell of her marriage to the heaven of its redeemed state.

Vincent (play)

[edit]
  • Nimoy, Leonard. "Vincent". I was extremely well received by audience and critics and subsequently toured 35 cities giving 150 performances as a Guthrie Theater presentation. Vincent was developed from the play Van Gogh, which was an earlier one-man play written and performed by Phillip Stephens. Nimoy purchased the rights to the play from Stephens, and incorporated some of Stephens' writing into Vincent.

The Los Angeles Times. this insightful and often moving 1981 solo show penned by Leonard Nimoy transcends the usual clichés surrounding the high-maintenance artist with the tortured relationship to his aural appendage. ... Weaving Theo's reminiscences with excerpts from more than 500 letters Vincent wrote him, the monologue covers Vincent's failed attempt to become a preacher, his doomed efforts at romantic relationships and his discovery of his true calling as a painter. ... In contrast to the two distinct voices Nimoy employed in his original performances of the piece, Richaud renders both brothers with a single inflection style. The approach may more naturalistically fit the premise (resolutely conformist Theo reading aloud Vincent's letters), but it comes at the cost of less cleanly differentiated personalities.

In the beginning was the landscape, only later do human beings appear. And rarely has landscape been used in cinema to such profound effect for articulating the subtle and ambiguous contours of the inmost dispositions of human beings. Only in music does Herzog find an equally ductile medium. Herzog's presentation of landscape is more elusive than Antonioni's "architecture of vision" or Tarkovsky's "sculptures in time" and it stands in stark contrast to Kurosawa's precise, geometrical structuring of space. ... 'My characters have no shadows. They come out of the darkness, and such people have no shadows, the light hurts them. They are there, and then gone, to their obscurity.' One of the most ambiguous figures of the cinema emerged from the darkness in this way: Bruno S. is no less mysterious than Kaspar Hauser, the character he plays in The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (Jeder für sich und Gott gegen Alle, 1974). Kaspar appears for a moment, bringing with him a fragile glimmer of life from that other, sombre universe from whence he came and to which, ineluctably, he must return.

The Galileo affair and Galileo's extraordinary scientific contributions have been treated in many plays, films, and even at least one opera. Many of the plays have been described recently by Kirsten Shepherd-Barr.[1] Of the plays based on the Galileo affair, Bertolt Brecht's Life of Galileo has been called a masterpiece, and is likely the best known. Its relationship to the history of the affair has been discussed by ... on to film.

Low emissivity

[edit]
A glass vacuum flask used to hold very hot or very cold fluids such as liquid nitrogen. There is a vacuum between the inside and outside glass walls of the flask; the low emissivity silvering of these walls is crucial to the flask's performance.

The term low emissivity (low-e) is applied to some surfaces used in thermal insulation, including metal foil "radiant barriers" in building insulation, silvered glass in older "thermos®" bottles, and the specially coated panes of glass in some windows. Low-e surfaces emit thermal radiation relatively weakly. In this context, thermal radiation is infrared light, which is invisible. The emission and absorption of thermal radiation can be a major source of heat loss in insulation; this loss is in addition to the loss of heat directly through the air.

Thus an ordinary glass window pane emits thermal radiation very well, and is a poor insulator. Glass has an emissivity that approaches the maximum possible value of 1.0 .[2] A glass pane that is coated with a low-e material typically has an emissivity that's less than 0.2. Coated panes can be designed so that they're transparent, and since the 1980s these coatings are used in commercial "low-e" windows. Mirror-like metallic coatings such as silver and aluminum aren't transparent, but have emissivities as low as 0.02. For more than a century these coatings have long been used as the low-e coating in glass vacuum flasks (see photograph), of which the common "thermos®" bottle is an example. Metal foils are often incorporated in insulation products, where they are known as "radiant barriers". They use the same principle of reducing emissivity that is used for windows and vacuum flasks.

Thermal radiation, R-values and U-values

[edit]

The insulation between two surfaces is typically characterized by an "R-value".[3] Better insulators have larger R-values. Since air transfers heat between surfaces, it might seem that a vacuum would be a perfect insulator, with an infinite R-value. However, for two room-temperature glass surfaces separated by vacuum, the thermal radiation between them limits the R-value to 0.22 (metric units) or to 1.22 (conventional US units).[4][5] The R-value increases as the emissivity drops, and for the silvered surfaces in glass vacuum flasks it is about 16 (metric) or 89 (US).[6]

The "U-value" is also instead of the R-value to describe insulating properties. The U-value is the reciprocal of the R-value. Thus the R-values of 0.22/1.22 (metric/US) for an unsilvered, glass vacuum flask correspond to U-values of 4.6/0.82 .

Low-e windows

[edit]

For windows, U-values describe the heat that flows from the interior of a building (with air temperature Ti) to the exterior (at air temperature To). A single pane of ordinary glass in a "single-glazed" window has a U-value of about 5.9/1.03 (metric/US).[7][8] The U-value is determined by several processes, including:

  • exchange of thermal radiation between the interior of the building and the inside surface of the glass
  • exchange of heat by the air inside the building
  • exchange of thermal radiation between the exterior of the building and the outside surface of the glass
  • exchange of heat by the air outside the building. This exchange is strongly affected by wind.

By changing the emissivity of the interior glass surface from 0.85 to 0.07, the U-value improves about 40%, from 5.9/1.03 to 3.4/0.59.[8] Applying a low-e coating to the outer surface of the glass has much less effect.[9]

Low-e surfaces are most commonly used for double-glazed windows, which use two panes of glass separated by a space filled with air or an inert gas such as argon. A simple, air-filled double-glazed window without a low-e coating has a U-value of about 2.51/0.44 (metric/US). Applying a low-e coating with emissivity 0.2 on the innermost glass surface improves the U-value of the double-glazed window about 23% to 1.94/0.34. This surface is called the 4th surface, where one counts from the outermost surface of the two panes of glass. A 32% improvement over unimproved double-glazing (to 1.72/0.30) occurs when the low-e surface is applied to the 3rd glass surface.[2]

There are several types of low-e coatings with differing properties, and there are a large number of possible designs for double-glazed and triple-glazed windows. The U-values for many of the designs are tabulated in handbooks.[2][10] Several of the different low-e coatings and treatments are described in the next section of this article.

History and technologies of low-e coatings

[edit]

As evidenced by the development of the glass vacuum flask, the principles of low-e insulation were understood before 1900.[11] Nonetheless, there were no commercial window products available in the United States that used this approach as of 1973, when an embargo of oil exports to the United States heightened interest there in energy conservation and in alternate energy sources.

There are two primary methods in use: Pyrolytic CVD and Magnetron Sputtering.[12][13] The first involves deposition of fluorinated tin oxide (SnO2:F see Tin dioxide uses) at high temperatures. Pyrolytic coatings are usually applied at the Float glass plant when the glass is manufactured. The second involves depositing thin silver layer(s) with antireflection layers. Magnetron sputtering uses large vacuum chambers with multiple deposition chambers depositing 5 to 10 or more layers in succession. Silver based films are environmentally unstable and must be enclosed in an Insulated glazing or Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) to maintain their properties over time. Specially designed coatings, are applied to one or more surfaces of insulated glass.

Wndow losses: graphic. +20C inside, -10 C outside. From Harvey. Single glazed Single glazed low-e (window film) Double glazed Double glazed low-e

Hard-coatings. A low emissivity surface on a sheet of glass can be created during manufacture by spraying a solution such as tin chloride (SnCl4) and water onto very hot glass at around 600 °C (1,112 °F)). This creates a layer of tin oxide (SnO2) on the surface of the glass that's typically 100 to 400 nanometers (nm) thick, and that conducts electricity to a degree. The semiconducting layer is typically designed to reflect about 80% of the thermal radiation and 20% of the sunlight that's incident on it. ref-Harvey.

Deep dive

The latitude Ford gave Toland to work in his favorite deep-focus style disproves the myth of Ford as a rigid technical authoritarian. (He was much harder on actors than he was on his crew.) While the compositional style would be the same, there is considerable difference in texture on Ford's films, even in the same period, from the shadowed, soft look that Joe August gave Ford (The Informer) to the diffused and glowing Bert Glennon pictures (Hurricane, Young Mr. Lincoln), to Toland's high contrast, razor-focus work in The Long Voyage Home and Grapes of Wrath.

Schiller was also, however, a reminder that the dearest part of the homeland was not its soil but its spiritual treasures, which could accompany the German wherever he went as long as he remained true to heritage. Indeed, the freedom that Schiller celebrated was the freedom that Germans had found in America. Schiller, proclaimed a speaker at New York's celebration, was the best expression of that side of German character which most qualified the German despite his distinctiveness to become a true American citizen: the cosmopolitan dedication to the union of all good men in the service of freedom and truth that had become an essential trait of the German character through German classical literature, and especially through Schiller.

The specific motivation I have is that about 85% of pre-1964 content with a US copyright notice is now in the public domain due to non-renewal of copyright, but I estimate that thousands of such public domain works have been uploaded to Wikipedia under "fair use". Movie posters from before 1964 are a good example. Since all copyrighted material does ultimately enter the public domain, the guidelines and tags should reflect this fact better. Here is the current text:

While identifying a source is not specifically required by the non-free content policy, editors are strongly encouraged to include a source of where a non-free file came from on the media's description page; many of the non-free rationale templates already include a field for this information. This can aid in the cases of disputed media files, or evaluating the non-free or free nature of the image. Lacking a source is not grounds for media removal, but if the nature of the media file is disputed, the lack of a source may prevent the file from being retained. Non-free media must be from a published source; the unpublished non-free media is forbidden. Identification of the source will aid in validating the previous publication of the material.

Stephen Antonakos

[edit]
The Messeturm in Frankfurt, Germany. The lighting at the top was designed by Antonakos. The architect was Helmut Jahn; the building was completed in 1990.

Stephen Antonakos (born November 1, 1926, Laconia, Greece) is an American artist who is noted for his works in minimal art, for his "landmark" studio works in the 1960s incorporating neon lighting, and since the 1970s for his large-scale public installations.[17][18][19][20]

Stephen Antonakos immigrated with his family from Laconia to New York at the age of four, and was raised in New York City. He served in the U.S. army from 1945-47. Following his military service Antonakos studied art at Brooklyn Community College, receiving a certificate in 1949. Antonakos was employed for many years as a commercial artist; he worked mostly on pharmaceutical illustrations.[21]

In the 1950s, Antonakos worked independently in several media: paintings, drawings, and collages of found objects; he received some recognition for this work in 1960 when one of his pieces was selected (with others by Claes Oldenburg, Jim Dine, and Allan Kaprow) for an exhibition, "New Forms, New Media", at the Martha Jackson Gallery; this exhibition has been called "the first major survey of assemblages".[21] In 1960 Antonakos introduced neon into his collages. Although neon lighting for signage had become commonplace in the 1920s, it was only in the 1960s that its use in studio artworks by Antonakos and several other artists attracted significant attention.[22]

Antonakos has described this transition, "My use of neon is really my own. I began with it around 1960 and very soon it became central to my work. The geometric forms, usually incomplete circles and squares, were a tremendous excitement to me. It is very difficult to separate light from space – even when the art is directly on the wall. For years I have been investigating the great subtlety and range of neon using forms that haven’t changed that much since the beginning. Its spatial qualities interested me – formal relationships within a work and with the architecture of the room or building and the kinetic relationship that a viewer may feel in the space of the light. I feel that abstraction can have a very deep effect visually, emotionally, and spatially."[23]

Antonakos' neon works in the 1960s are now included in discussions of minimal art,[24][25][26] Quote Marzona about "blue box"? Discuss Flavin and other minimal/neon artists?

In the 1970s Antonakos began to receive commissions for large-scale public neon installations. The first two were temporary exhibitions in Grand Rapids, Michigan and at the Fort Worth Art Museum.[27] Antonakos' first permanent public exhibition was Red Neon Circle Fragment on a Blue Wall in Dayton, Ohio. He has now done dozens of permanent and temporary installations. Thalia Vrachopoulos has written of this increase in the scale of Antonakos' work that, "Green Neon Incomplete Circle (1974), The Room (1973), and Incomplete Neon Square (1977) evince Antonakos’s ability to manipulate color and form while enlarging scale."[20] Writing of an exhibition devoted to art in architecture that included some of Antonakos' works, Michael Kimmelman is less enthusiastic: "Considering works produced for Rockefeller Center and the Cranbrook Academy of Art outside Detroit, this century can claim distinguished examples of collaboration among architects, sculptors and painters in this country. But the International Style inspired by Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe spawned a legacy of "plop" art - generic public sculpture and painting made to adorn indistinguishable glass skyscrapers."[28]

A number of Antonakos' artworks involve entire rooms or chapels. Daniel Marzona writes of these works, "The recognition by Antonakos of the power of coloured light led to the creation of more complex public sculptures using the industrial language of neon to compete with the outside world and all its various distractions." Antonakos' work for the 1973 exhibition Sculpture Off the Pedestal in Grand Rapids, Michigan was a self-contained room.[29] These rooms became chapels later in his career. The most noted may be his work Chapel of the Heavenly Ladder (1997?), of which Grace Glueck has written, "For some time Stephen Antonakos, known for his works in neon, has been involved with projects of a religious nature, and the objects here give a good if limited account of recent endeavors. ... Even without the neon, in this small scale, it's an impressive work."[30]

  • Bui, Phong (November 2008). "Stephen Antonakos: Here and Beyond". The Brooklyn Rail. Having begun his career in the early 1950s, Antonakos's urge to make assemblages from found objects had turned, by 1960, toward a greater emphasis on formal concerns among geometric shapes. This resulted in his landmark works in neon, out of which emerged his longtime interest in the maximal application of "lightness" with the most attainable means of minimal explorations.

  • Vrachopoulos, Thalia (June 2009). "Stephen Antonakos: Complex Simplicity". Sculpture Magazine. 28 (5). International Sculpture Center. In the early '70s, Antonakos increased his scale while continuing to examine the potential of neon. Fluorescent tubes were already being used by artists such as Dan Flavin and Chryssa to create pulsating light sculptures. But whereas Flavin denied any transcendental meaning in his works, Antonakos recognized it as an important element. While Flavin used raw industrial neon, Antonakos bent, shaped, and colored his light sculptures. Green Neon Incomplete Circle (1974), The Room (1973), and Incomplete Neon Square (1977) evince Antonakos's ability to manipulate color and form while enlarging scale.

For film editors, one simple, if stringent, criterion for notability is nomination for a major award such as the Academy Award for Film Editing or the BAFTA Award for Best Editing. See Category:Film editing awards for a listing of related Wikipedia articles; the "red links" in these articles provide a shopping list of outstanding editors without articles. Another criterion is membership in an honorary organization of filmmakers such as the American Cinema Editors or the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The marshes

[edit]

(from Minc)

Floristic variability among coastal wetlands can be characterized in terms of specific vegetative zones. Moving from deeper water to the shore, typical zonation includes (1) the Submergent Marsh containing submergent and/or floating vegetation; (2) Emergent Marsh characterized by shallow water or saturated soils, and typically dominated by bulrushes, cat-tails, and other emergent species, but also containing submergent and/or floating vegetation; and (3) a narrow but diverse Shoreline or Strand Zone, at or just above the water line where seasonal water-level fluctuations and waves cause erosion, usually dominated by annual herbs. Inland from the water's edge, additional zones can be identified: (4) the Herbaceous or Wet Meadow zone characterized by saturated or periodically flooded soils, and dominated by sedges, grasses, and other herbs; and (5) the Shrub Swamp and (6) Swamp Forest zones, both characterized by periodic standing water, and dominated by woody species adapted to a variety of flooding regimes. Not all zones are present or well-developed in every wetland.

The emergent zones of this type feature very high densities of the canopy-forming submergent species, coontail and Canadian pondweed, along with duckweeds (common and star). spatterdock and fragrant water lily are also common. All of these reflect the well-protected and nutrient-rich waters of the lagoons, although star duckweed may be associated with cold, spring-fed streams. High densities of this last species are distinctive to the Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence sites, as is the prevalence of flat-stemmed pondweed.

The herbaceous zone is a wet meadow in which narrowleaf cattail typically dominates, along with Canadian reedgrass and marsh fern. Cattail is particularly sensitive to flooding; its dominance in Lake Ontario corresponds historically to the recent period of lake-level regulation. In contrast, species adapted to the cyclical exposure of shoreline mud flats are poorly represented in these sites.

The shrubby zones divide into two distinct types. Buttonbush thicket features a mix of water willow and buttonbush, along with speckled alder; marsh fern and arrow arum dominate mucky openings within the thickets. In contrast, poor shrub fen was encountered in areas of low water flow behind barriers, typically distant from the active stream channel. Here, poor fen shrubs (leatherleaf, bog myrtle, cranberry, and bog rosemary) dominate, while Sphagna spp. and purple pitcherplant attain high cover values in the groundcover.

In metric units, the dimensions of the R-value are thus (square meters)×(degrees Celsius)/watts, which is usually written m2C/W. In conventional US units, R has units of (square feet)×(degrees Fahrenheit)×(hours)/(Britsh thermal units (BTU)); these are usually written as ft2·F·h/BTU.
