Introduction to Audiovisual Translation: applications and research

Abstract:

We live in an increasingly audiovisual world, giving rise to the importance of Audiovisual Translation (AVT) both in the industry and as a field of study in academia. AVT is an umbrella term used in translation studies to refer to a diverse range of translation modes to make audiovisual media accessible across languages and heterogeneous viewers with hearing or visual impairment. AVT may also be practiced by non-professional translators, giving rise to ‘fan AVT’.  This presentation is intended to be an introduction to this dynamic field with its expanding modes of application, followed by the types of research I am involved in, with reference to fan translation, impact captions and the use of Augmented Reality glasses in projecting captions.
