谁为电影创作字幕，谁为歌剧创作字幕，根据什么实践和目标？ The December 5^th program Reading Foreign Voices presented and sponsored by the Inserra Chair in Italian and Italian American Studies in collaboration with the Department of Spanish and Italian brought a group of international and local experts to Montclair State University with the goal of providing information about the fascinating interdisciplinary field of titling and discussing the current state-of-the-art.

The broad appeal of Reading Foreign Voices was reflected in the audience, which included faculty and students from the Spanish, Italian, French and Linguistics departments, along with high school students from Italian classes at Middletown High School North in Central NJ. The event was presented under the auspices of the Italian Cultural Institute in New York (with the participation of cultural attaché Fabio Troisi) as part of the Italian semester of presidency of the European Union Council, and consequently functioned as a reminder of the interconnectedness of languages and cultures and the role of supra-structures to protect and constantly revitalize them.
