Research on dubbing in audiovisual productions has been prolific in
the past few decades, which has helped to expand our understanding
of the history and impact of dubbing worldwide. Much of this work,
however, has been concerned with the linguistic aspects of
audiovisual productions, whereas studies emphasizing the importance
of visual and acoustic dimensions are few and far between. Against
this background, Dubbing, Film and Performance attempts to fill a
gap in Audiovisual Translation (AVT) research by investigating
dubbing from the point of view of film and sound studies. The
author argues that dubbing ought to be viewed and analysed
holistically in terms of its visual, acoustic and linguistic
composition. The ultimate goal is to raise further awareness of the
changes dubbing brings about by showing its impact on
characterization. To this end, a tripartite model has been devised
to investigate how visual, aural and linguistic elements combine to
construct characters and their performance in the original
productions and how these are deconstructed and reconstructed in
translation through dubbing. To test the model, the author analyses
extracts of the US television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
its French dubbed version.
