There are three fundamental issues in the field of screen
translation, namely, the relationship between verbal output and
pictures and soundtrack, between a foreign language/culture and the
target language/culture, and finally between the spoken code and
the written one. All three issues are raised and discussed by
contributors to this special issue of The Translator. The topics
covered include the following: the use of multimodal transcription
for the analysis of audiovisual data; the depiction and reception
of cultural otherness in Disney animated films produced in the
1990's; the way in which subtitles in Flanders strengthen the
already streamlined narratives of mainstream film stories, and how
they 'enhance' the characteristics of the films and their
underlying ideology; developing a research methodology for testing
the effectiveness of intralingual subtitling for the deaf and hard
of hearing; the pragmatic, semiotic and communicative dimensions of
puns and plays on words in The Simpsons; the reception of
translated humour in the Marx Brothers' film Duck Soup; and
non-professional interpreting in live interviews on breakfast
television in Finland. The volume also includes a detailed profile
of two postgraduate courses that have been successfully piloted and
run at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona: the Postgrado de
Traduccion Audiovisual and the Postgrado de Traduccion Audiovisual
On-line.
