that just shows how translation can become a tool of domination when the language of power excludes the people being governed #hwa4 #translationasviolence

Where I see this all relating to future SMEs is when it comes to perception of word choice and sounds to generate multiple different meanings to a listener. This whole exercise was partly to show us how an entirely different meaning can be generated #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

Luckmann & Berger's argument applies to Yingleshi on how it is considered a "performance" and seems to create a sort of bias to the listeners interpretation of it #hwa4 #translationacts

I found that I felt unfamiliar sounds “hitting” rather than passively flowing into my ears. This makes sense as an English speaker and speaker of other languages, I am not familiar with others I do not know, so hearing new sounds stimulates my brain in a different manner. #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

with Yingelishi in mind, SMEs seem to truly make much more sense and now I see much more creative direction moving forward. the endless capabilities with so many different media forms makes this kind of experimenting so exciting #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

#hwa4 #yingelishiparty The final minute or so of the poem feels really sad, though listening to what the words sound like in English is not. I don't know why it struck me the way that it did, but it made me feel somber and reflective.

with what we consider unconventional speaking patterns, we also determine their fluency with how natural it sounds to us, individually. At this point in my listening, I also stopped cognitively thinking of fluency and instead focused on what I was “feeling” from it. #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

#hwa4 #yingelishiparty I am definitely feeling a lot of friction within the tragedy strikes section. I don't know if it's the combination of the music and the more chaotic nature of the speaker's delivery, but it makes me very uneasy and my brain does not find it pleasant lol

this experience will always leave me wondering about how others feel or what they hear when they listen. I can't put myself in the shoes of someone who is bilingual or even what Chinese speakers are experiencing #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

When enslaved Africans’ languages and beliefs were translated by slave owners as “uncivilized” or wrong. That kind of translation made it easier to erase parts of their culture and force them to follow European language, religion, and customs. #hwa4 #translationasviolence

I wish she sung faster, some of the words I really have to focus and almost force myself to hear what it's supposed to sound like because the words are so stretched out. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

Translation is built on belief and reality and how something can adapt to someone else's life in a way that they would understand #hwa4

even translating a joke needs deciding how to recreate its effect for a different audience #hwa4 #translationacts

#hwa4 #yingelishiparty I think telephone is actually my favorite of all the individual poems. I don't know why, but it makes me feel really serene and at peace. Even though I find the language wavers slightly and I don't hear much "English" sounding stuff, the delivery is calm and level

language and then from there tried to predict what common sound would follow-up next. It was around 25% into my second playthrough when I questioned that perhaps this was me defining fluency as a subjective perception. Maybe when we hear foreign speakers of English speak #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

there was so much that made sense to me and then something would happen that would totally throw me off. once I had wandered too many times i just stopped trying to understand or decode anything and just listened #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

#hwa4 #yingelishiparty I feel the whole customs section in my head, strangely enough. It "scratches an itch" so to speak. Sometimes, it feels like for by understanding of words the poet is off-beat, which feels like a rule break, but in the Chinese context it may make more sense

this showed how layered and interesting auditory experiences can be. this opened my eyes in regards to sme2 and it helps me see the potential impact. not only was the entire experience unique and captivating but it spoke to so many different kinds of people #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

After listening to the soundscape, I would overall say that it acted on me by making me realize how fluency can be subjective (which I elaborated on in my previous post). I say this because I often tried to associate any familiar sounds from this piece with the English #hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes

I agree with the statement that performance is not spontaneous because it is something practiced and expected to be socially acceptable #hwa4
