Forma parte de las asignaturas optativas que pueden cursar los alumnos del grado.

Se pretende introducir al alumno en el conocimiento de las distintas modalidades que se encierran dentro de la denominada traducción audiovisual, haciendo especial hincapié en el doblaje y subtitulado como las modalidades más representativas de este ámbito de traducción.

Esta asignatura ofrecerá al alumno formación en las técnicas de doblaje y subtitulado, en lo relativo tanto a la fase de traducción como a la del manejo de software. A lo largo del curso, se estudiarán los problemas que se plantean en la traducción audiovisual, como ocurre entre otros con:

- la traducción de la información y de los referentes culturales que aparecen en los diferentes canales;

- Tratamiento de las Uf en traducción audiovisual. Los diferentes tipos de unidades fraseológicas, los problemas de comprensión que pueden generar, las variantes parasinónimas y diatópicas, diferencia de traducción en la modalidad de subtitulado o de doblaje, etc.

- nombres propios,

- con el tratamiento de textos insertos en imágenes.

El alumno deberá aportar distintas soluciones que se analizarán en clase.

En suma, se trata de que el alumno aprenda a identificar dificultades de traducción y a aplicar las estrategias adecuadas a partir del análisis de encargos de traducción audiovisual, además de que adquiera unas nociones básicas para su futura entrada en el mercado profesional de la traducción audiovisual.
