Irene Ranzato - Linguistic and Cultural Representation in Audiovisual Translation

This collection of essays offers a multifaceted exploration of audiovisual translation, both as a means of intercultural exchange and as a lens through which linguistic and cultural representations are negotiated and shaped. Examining case studies from a variety of media, including film, television, and video games, the volume focuses on different modes of audiovisual translation, including subtitling and dubbing, and the representations of linguistic and stylistic features, cultural mores, gender, and the translation process itself embedded within them. The book also meditates on issues regarding accessibilitya growing concern in audiovisual translation research. Rooted in the most up-to-date issues in both audiovisual translation and media culture today, this volume is essential reading for students and scholars in translation studies, film studies, television studies, video game studies, and media studies.

Irene Ranzato is a Researcher and Lecturer in English language and translation at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. Her previous publications include Translating Culture Specific References on Television: The Case of Dubbing (2016).

Serenella Zanotti is Associate Professor of English Language and Translation at Roma Tre University, Italy. Her previous publications include Italian Joyce: A Journey through Language and Translation (2013).
