Abstract :Since the turn of the millennium, audiovisual translation has developed into a well-established subfield of translation studies and has continued to grow in popularity. Publication of numerous books and essays, including Orelo insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2004);, Díaz-Cintas insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2009); and Bogucki insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2015);, attests to its importance for contemporary scholarship. However, there is still much more to be done. This innovative collection of essays, organized by Michael Organ, is a valiant effort to bridge existing gaps in audiovisual translation. Apart from the editor`s brief and panoramic introduction, the book is divided into seven chapters that cover topics such as audiovisual material in language teaching, interlingual subtitling, closed captions, folktales, censorship, translating puns and audiovisual translation in video games.
