Translating Popular Film

A ground-breaking study of the roles played by foreign languages in film and television and their relationship to translation. The book covers areas such as subtitling and the homogenising use of English, and asks what are the devices used to represent foreign languages on screen?

CAROL O’SULLIVAN is Senior Lecturer in Language and Translation Theory at the University of Portsmouth, UK, where she teaches graduate courses in translation theory, translation history and subtitling. Her previous publications deal with the history and politics of translation; audiovisual translation; and film and popular culture.
