The Routledge Handbook of
Audiovisual Translation
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 rap-
idly developing field.
Divided into 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 audio-
visual 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 transla-
tion 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 methodo-
logical approaches supporting traditional and innovative ways of interrogating audiovisual
translation data. The final part addresses an array of themes pertaining to the place of audio-
visual translation in society.
This Handbook gives audiovisual translation studies the platform it needs to raise its pro-
file within the Humanities research landscape and is key reading for all those engaged in the
study and research of Audiovisual Translation within Translation studies.
Luis Pérez-González is Professor of Translation Studies and Co-director of the Centre for

of Audiovisual Translation: Theories, Methods and Issues (Routledge, 2014) and co-editor
