"The duration of the subtitles, for example is very ideological. (...) the attempt is always to protect the unity of subject; here to collapse in subtitling, the activities of reading, hearing and seeing into one single activity, as if they were all the same (...)it is because translation is perceived here as a part of the operation of suture that defines the classical cinema apparatus and the technological effort it deploys to naturalize a dominant, hierarchically unified worldview." (Trinh T. Minha, Framer Framed, 1992)

A tin can telephone is a type of acoustic (non-electrical) speech-transmitting device made up of two tin cans, paper cups or similarly shaped items attached to either end of a taut string or wire.
