  • The unit explores art in contemporary society, showcasing diverse art forms and their impacts.
  • The unit includes discussions on Transcreation, and Hybrid Art Forms and Appropriation.

Transcreation

  • Transcreation is a type of translation that incorporates creation or recreation.
  • This type of translation uses the vernacular and adapts a message from one language to another, maintaining the tone, intent, and context of the original message.
  • It's crucial for effective marketing and advertising campaigns targeting diverse cultures.
  • Transcreation involves recreating the message and images, matching the target culture's style and values.
  • Transcreation is an adaptation and content development process, encompassing concepts, words, shapes, colors, visual elements, and names to suit the local context and preferences. It goes beyond basic translation, keeping the core message and intent.
  • This is crucial to maintain the impact of the original, rather than just a simple word-for-word translation.
  • Examples include changing a superhero's costume or background to reflect the target culture.
  • Changes are made to appeal to the target audience, making the message relevant and effective in the new context. A good example of this is altering superhero outfits to align with the culture.

Hybrid Art Forms and Appropriation

  • Hybrid art forms represent a blend of different art forms, mediums, or styles.
  • Appropriation involves using elements or concepts from other cultures or art forms, often in a new context to create a new form of art.
  • Levinson (1984) proposes three categories of hybrid art, categorized by how these forms are combined and interpreted.
  • Often blending different styles to create something completely new.
  • Mixing different forms to explore innovation and experimentation.

Juxtaposition (or Addition)

  • Juxtaposition merges two or more distinct elements to create a complex whole
  • Each element retains its unique characteristics.
  • Common in multimedia forms.
  • It might incorporate mixed media and arts.

Art Fusion

  • Art fusion is a result of industry and commercialism
  • It occurs when an artist collaborates with a company to create a product that benefits both the artist and the company, and society as a whole.
  • Art fusion showcases the power of art to positively influence and shape society.

Additional Notes

  • Each society is individually influenced by its unique language and cultural identity. This affects lifestyle choices, values, beliefs, and even entertainment preferences.
  • Art reflects and shapes society, acting as a powerful tool for social change and growth.
  • Art's influence is not limited to translation. It includes adaptations in visual elements and other methods discussed in the content.
