From the lucrative blockbusters distributed by powerful Hollywood studios to the brief videos assembled and circulated by ordinary people, contemporary screen culture is populated by a growing variety of audiovisual texts travelling across different languages and cultures.

Audiovisual Translation: Theories, Methods, Issues provides a unique focus on the translation of these increasingly influential texts, including their producers and consumers that now pervade all aspects of our lives. Through a range of examples drawn from different genres, this book moves beyond the linguistic concerns traditionally privileged within audiovisual translation, introducing students and researchers to the artistic, economic, social and political dimensions of this activity.

Text features include:

Chapter summaries

This text is the definitive guide to the research models and methodological approaches that are enabling, and will continue to drive, advances in this fast-developing area of study. It is essential reading for all students studying Audiovisual or Screen Translation at postgraduate or advanced undergraduate level and key reading for all researchers working in the area.
