Abstract:

Humour found in audiovisual products is, of course, performative in nature. If
we consider instances of humour – any droll moment occurring in today’s fare
of mixed-genre products as a composite of cognition, emotion, interaction and
expression – we see that the verbal code becomes just one component of four
equally significant elements. And, as ‘expression’ is not limited to verbal
output alone, humour may of course be created in absence of a verbal code.
Translating humour for audiovisuals is not too different from translating
verbal humour tout court. What makes humour occurring within audiovisual texts
more problematic is the fact that it may be visually anchored; in other words
a gag or a joke may pivot on verbal content directed at a specific element
that is present within the graphic system of the same text. As the term itself
suggests, audiovisuals contain two overlying structures: a visual and an
auditory channel each of which contain a series of both verbal and non-verbal
elements which inextricably cross-cut one another. The contributors in this
collection of essays present a series of case studies from films and
video-games exemplifying problems and solutions to audiovisual humour in the
dubs and subs in a variety of language combinations.
