Routledge handbooks in translation and interpreting studies
Content:
"This Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the expanding field of Audio Description, the practice of rendering the visual elements of a multimodal product such as a film, painting, or live performance in the spoken mode, for the benefit principally of the blind and visually impaired community. This volume brings together scholars, researchers, practitioners and service providers such as broadcasters from all over the world to cover as thoroughly as possible all the theoretical and practical aspects of this discipline. In 38 chapters, the expert authors chart how the discipline has become established both as an important professional service and as a valid academic subject, how it has evolved and how it has come to play such an important role in media accessibility. From the early history of the subject, through to the challenges represented by ever-changing technology, the Handbook covers the approaches and methodologies adopted to analyse the 'multimodal' text, in the constant search for the optimum selection of the elements to describe. This is the essential guide and companion for advanced students, researchers and Audio Description professionals within the more general spheres of translation studies and media accessibility"--
