The Palgrave Handbook of Audiovisual Translation and Media Accessibility cover

This handbook is a comprehensive and up-to-date resource covering the booming field of Audiovisual Translation (AVT) and Media Accessibility (MA). Bringing together an international team of renowned scholars in the field of translation studies, the handbook surveys the state of the discipline, consolidates existing knowledge, explores avenues for future research and development, and also examines methodological and ethical concerns. This handbook will be a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, early-stage researchers but also experienced scholars working in translation studies, communication studies, media studies, linguistics, cultural studies and foreign language education.

“This informative and instructive collection makes a valuable contribution to AVT and MA studies. … the volume brings forty scholars together to comprehensively review their respective subjects, covering almost all fields of AVT and MA ... . each chapter in this collection serves as a literature review … . a reader-friendly collection, it suggests abundant reading lists on each specific topic at the end of each chapter … . The collection will serve as an indispensable guide … .” (Juan Zhang, Babel, Vol. 68 (2), 2022)

“This handbook is very engaging for Translation, Accessibility and Media Studies students and scholars. It certainly contributes to giving a clear picture of AVT and accessibility as well as providing inspiring ideas for future research. … the fact that the chapters can also be purchased individually the decision of the editors and publisher to have contributions that are exhaustive as self-standing papers can be seen as an advantage.” (Margherita Dore, The Journal of Specialised Translation, jostrans.org, Issue 37, January, 2022)
