Abstract:

Audio description (AD) is a narrative technique which provides complementary
information regarding the where, who, what and how of any audiovisual content.
It translates the visuals into words. The principal function of this ad hoc
narrative is to make audiovisual content available to all: be it a guided city
tour of Barcelona, a 3D film, or a Picasso painting. Audio description is one
of the younger siblings of Audiovisual Translation, and it is epigonic to the
audiovisual translation modality chosen. This book is the first volume on the
topic written in English and it brings together an international team of
leading audio description teachers, scholars, and practitioners to address the
basic issues regarding audio description strategies. Using one stimulus,
Quentin Tarantino’s film Inglourious Basterds (2009), the authors analysed
what, when, where and how to audio describe. The book is written in a
collaborative effort, following a bottom up approach. The many issues that
surfaced in the process of the analysis were grouped in broader categories
represented in the ten chapters this book contains. A good example of a
successful international collaboration, the volume sets a robust practical and
theoretical framework for the many studies on audio description to come in the
future. Considering the structure of the individual contributions, the book is
not only oriented towards the identification of the challenges that await the
describer, but it also offers an insight into their possible solutions.
