From 12-15 March, 2024, the free course “Introducción a la traducción audiovisual (TAV): Modalidades tradicionales y accesibilidad a los medios” will take place, led by Juan Pedro Rica Peromingo from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. The lessons will be held in the Co-working Room of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Verona (Palazzo di Lingue, first floor mezzanine, Lungadige Porta Vittoria 41) and online via this link. Sessions will run from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with participants from Spain, Cuba, Chile, and from Italy, including the University of Cagliari and the University of Bergamo.
The course aims to introduce participants to the key linguistic, cultural, and technical issues to consider when translating audiovisual content, both in traditional AVT formats (dubbing and subtitles for hearing audiences) and in those related to linguistic accessibility (subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing, and audio description for the blind and visually impaired). The seminar will also cover other types of audiovisual translation, such as subtitling for theatre (opera and musicals), voice-over, and live subtitling.
The course is free of charge and will be conducted in Spanish. Those wishing to participate must register by 12:00 p.m. (Italian time) on March 10, 2024, by filling out this form by the deadline.
