Who we are

geraldine

Geraldine Brodie

I am a Teaching Fellow, having recently completed my PhD thesis (at UCL and Queen Mary, University of London) on the role of the translator on the London stage.  I convene the Translation Studies module for the MA in Translation Theory and Practice. I also co-edit the online journal 'New Voices in Translation Studies'. I go to the theatre whenever I can, mainly to see plays in translation, and my reading-matter is usually in translation, too. But I still love Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice'.

Rebecca Harrison

I am a full-time graduate student working in the Centre for Intercultural Studies at UCL. I completed my MA in Film in 2009 (also at UCL) and I began working on my PhD two years ago. My thesis explores the cultural history of the railways in Britain through their representations in film between 1895 and 1945. I am particularly interested in thinking about the cinema as an archive and I contribute to the Autopsies Research Group project ‘Cinematic Memory, Consumer Culture and Everyday Life.’ I love Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and Dickens’s 'Great Expectations' (and I have read both too many times to count). My favourite films include'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' (Robert Wiene, 1920) and 'Peeping Tom' (Michael Powell, 1960).

Marlies Gabriele (Lissy) Prinzl

I am a part-time research student at UCL, based at the Centre for Intercultural Studies. My research focuses on creativity in retranslation, specifically the English translations of Thomas Mann's novella 'Der Tod in Venedig' ('Death in Venice'), and involves corpus linguistics-based tools. I am also the Editor-in-Chief of 'Opticon 1826', UCL's all-faculty, peer-reviewed academic journal, run and edited by its own postgraduate students, as well as a PG representative for the British Comparative Literature Association. I enjoy reading Cortázar, Coetzee and modern/postmodern writers in general. I am a member both of UCLU's Film & TV Society as well as the Photography Society, and you will find me watching plenty of indies, world cinema and quality anime (Studio Ghibli, Shinkai Makoto, etc.).
