Autor Laura Mejías-Climent
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 dec 2021
This book addresses the hot topic in audiovisual translation (AVT) of video game localization through the unique perspective of dubbing, an area which has so far received relatively little scholarly focus. The author analyses the main characteristics of video game localization within the context of English-Spanish dubbing, and emphasizes the implications for research and localization as a professional practice. The book will appeal to translation studies scholars and students, as well as AVT professionals looking to understand localization processes from a systematized approach.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“In a robust and illuminating contribution to the literature of audiovisual translation and video game localization, Laura Mejías-Climent takes the reader on a journey to the world of localization that allows video games to be exported to other markets and to expand across the world. By unravelling the secrets and history of this popular professional practice in an engaging and elegant prose, the author adopts an innovative semiotic and interdisciplinary approach –based on game situations and the interactive experience– to analyze the role of dubbing and the new synchronization types used in this market.”
