About this book
This book describes the dubbing process of English-language animated films produced by US companies in the 21st century, exploring how linguistic variation and multilingualism are used to create characters and identities and examining how Italian dubbing professionals deal with this linguistic characterisation. The analysis carried out relies on a diverse range of research tools: text analysis, corpus study and personal communications with dubbing practitioners. The book describes the dubbing workflow and dubbing strategies in Italy and seeks to identify recurrent patterns and therefore norms, as well as stereotypes or creativity in the way multilingualism and linguistic variation are tackled. It will be of interest to students and scholars of translation, linguistic variation, film and media.
Reviews
“By urging closer attention to the transfer of identities in audiovisual translation, Vincenza Minutella makes an inspiring and challenging contribution to our field. This resourceful book delves into the functions of language variation in order to depict identities, understand stereotypes and construe personalities in English-language animated films, and judiciously examines how these stereotypes have been carried over through dubbing. This thought-provoking contribution to the literature of audiovisual translation will become a valuable tool to understand the secrets of this dynamic and popular profession.” --Frederic Chaume, Universitat Jaume I, Spain
