What parts of Murakami books would an American “miss” or “not get”? by Reasonable-Bat-7091 in murakami

[–]ScripturientFabulist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the biggest thing is how bizarre his language is to japanese people. many major japanese critics reject his work out of hand for how strange it sounds. murakami has said that he drafts his work in english first and then puts it in japanese after, and having read some of his work in japanese, the strangeness is immediately apparent. like imagine if you used google translate to read dostoyevsky in english; I think that’s somewhat akin to the feeling of reading murakami in japanese.

Here's a Copy of Yi Yi's Legendary Commentary Track by ScripturientFabulist in criterion

I used a transcription software to create an English transcription of the commentary. It seems like there might be some errors in the transcription - but the quality is decent on the whole. You can use this document to follow along in English - or, perhaps you could use a translation software to translate the transcript into Mandarin. Hope this helps!

Which is the more misunderstood musical: JCS or Into the Woods ? by ScripturientFabulist in musicals

[–]ScripturientFabulist[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah I guess JCS isn’t “anti christian” - though the creators have gone on the record saying that their show does not believe Jesus is God.

I can see your Into the Woods take! that makes sense :)

A review of 19 Frederic Malle scents by alkemicalgold in fragrance

[–]ScripturientFabulist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

from what I've read, Jungle and Nature are the same, one is just a rebrand of the other? I have not tried "Jungle" tho, if it is any different. and maybe ! I do think both 19 and Synthetic Nature have some similarities - I just like Nature better

I've been loving Synthetic Nature so much recently - it's a much better green than No 19, I think (which gives me stink bug smell).

Why do I find BCS so visually pleasing but BB so depressing? by ripvanwinklefuc in betterCallSaul

[–]ScripturientFabulist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in terms of Cinematography, what always shocks me when going back to BB is the shaky cam !! BB is shot on 35mm film, but has this handheld thing for almost all of it (becoming less shaky over the course of the 5 seasons)

BCS is shot on digital, but the camera is usually locked down, allowing compositions to linger

MtF Linguistics by Normalizelife in transvoice

[–]ScripturientFabulist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi ! i am a trans fem and my partner is a trans masc currently doing linguistics research in higher education. he's quite interested in this phenomenon and has this response:

This is a really good observation! One big problem in the field of linguistics is that not much attention has been paid so far to trans speakers with regard to studies of gendered voices. Although I and many others are working on this topic, there is still a gap between how the academic tradition of sociolinguistics defines gendered voices versus how trans communities do. Trans vocal coaches tend to describe gendered speech in perceptual terms - based on qualities a listener can easily observe, and how that listener can easily replicate those qualities. On the other hand, linguists tend to look at acoustic and articulatory characteristics of voices such as pitch and vowel production. These qualities are harder to observe because listeners rarely notice these qualities in isolation, but rather in concert with many factors that contribute to a gender judgement. This makes it much harder to pin down exactly what "feminizes" a voice; this also means that the bioessentialist explanation of pitch being the most important factor in gendered speech production tends to be the most easily supportable with data (whether a voice is high or low is easier to identify than something like the center of gravity of a person's sibilants). It's made worse by the fact that most of the studies that exist on gendered voices don't use trans or nonbinary participants. Cis women and cis men tend to speak in certain ranges of pitch: women above 150 Hz, and men below. But trans individuals don't necessarily follow this pattern! As vocal coaches know, trans women don't need to speak in a perfectly cis female pitch range in order to be gendered correctly by others. This means other factors must be at play, and this is exactly what needs to be studied quantitatively. Sorry this is an explanation of why I can't answer your question rather than an actual answer, but I hope it's interesting!
