69765 - Multimedia Translation between Italian and Spanish

Learning outcomes

Course contents

This course moves between professional practice and theoretical reflection. It aims to offer a vision of audiovisual translation that transcends pure linguistic dimensions, covering also professional and socio-cultural aspects. Although the main area that we will cover is subtitling, we will also have time to address some issues inherent to dubbing through the development of projects.
