The Routledge Handbook of Audiovisual Translation provides an accessible, authoritative and comprehensive overview of the key modalities of audiovisual translation and the main theoretical frameworks, research methods and themes that are driving research in this rapidly developing field.
Divided in four parts, this reference work consists of 32 state-of-the-art chapters from leading international scholars. The first part focuses on established and emerging audiovisual translation modalities, explores the changing contexts in which they have been and continue to be used, and examines how cultural and technological changes are directing their future trajectories. The second part delves into the interface between audiovisual translation and a range of theoretical models that have proved particularly productive in steering research in audiovisual translation studies. The third part surveys a selection of methodological approaches supporting traditional and innovative ways of interrogating audiovisual translation data. The final part addresses an array of themes pertaining to the place of audiovisual translation in society.
This Handbook gives audiovisual translation studies the platform it needs to raise its profile within the Humanities research landscape and is key reading for all those engaged in the study and research of Audiovisual Translation within Translation studies.

I believe a handbook in the area of audiovisual translation studies would be an important reource for researchers and students alike. It would fill a noticeable gap in the publications and resources presently available on the market...I would definitely consider using this book as both a reference volume and course text. In my course I ask students to select a number of articles from a set of books and specialized journals. The handbook covers many relevant topics that could be profitably chosen by the students taking my course...
And on the market:
The subject matter is becoming a major one in MA and postgraduate programmes in translation and interpreting. Specific, often optional, modules on audiovisual translation are also taught in more general MA programmes, like the postgraduate programmes in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics at the University of Pavia and Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Parma. I also know of specific core modules being offered at Pisa, Napoli, Lecce, Rome. A similar boom in the offer of programmes and individual modules on audiovisual translation can be seen in other countries, not only the UK but also Spain, just to mention Europe.
