This rich collection of articles and essays by film historians,
translation scholars, archivists, and curators presents film
translation history as an exciting and timely area of research. It
builds on the last twenty years of research into the history of
dubbing and subtitling, but goes further, by showing how
subtitling, dubbing, and other forms of audiovisual translation
developed over the first fifty years of the twentieth century. This
is the first book-length study, in any language, of the
international history of audiovisual translation which includes
silent cinema. Its scope covers national contexts both within
Europe and beyond. It shows how audiovisual translation practices
were closely tied to their commercial, technological and industrial
contexts. The Translation of Films, 1900-1950 draws extensively on
archival sources and expertise. In doing so it revisits and
challenges some of the established narratives around film languages
and the coming of sound. For instance, the volume shows how silent
films, far from being straightforward to translate, went through a
complex process of editing for international distribution. It also
closely tracks the ferment of experiments in film translation
during the transition to sound from 1927 to 1934 and later, as
markets adjusted to the demands of synchronised film. The
Translation of Films, 1900-1950 argues for a broader understanding
of film translation: far from being limited to language transfer,
it encompasses editing, localisation, censorship, paratextual
framing, and other factors. It advocates for film translation to be
considered as a crucial contribution not only to the worldwide
circulation of films, but also to the art of cinema.
