20. Audiovisual Translation
-
Rocío Baños
Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of audiovisual translation (AVT), understood as the discipline studying the translation of audiovisual texts. It sets out to define different AVT modes, distinguishing between revoicing (dubbing, voiceover, audio description, interpreting, etc.) and subtitling (interlingual and intralingual subtitling, fansubbing, surtitling, etc.). Although more attention is paid to subtitling, dubbing and voiceover since these are the most widespread AVT modes, the chapter also discusses briefly more recent modes related to media accessibility (such as audio description for the blind and subtitling for the deaf and the hard of hearing), as well as those which reflect the use of new technologies and new approaches to translation (e. g., fansubbing). To this end, the chapter refers to the most influential publications and research trends in AVT, focusing on Spanish, and concludes by highlighting new research avenues.
