In recent years, a growing number of monographs and edited volumes have been published on audiovisual translation (AVT), and 2018 features notable contributions including Di Giovanni and Gambier (2018), Pérez-González (2018) and Ranzato and Zanotti (2018), reflecting the increasing wealth of research on AVT and suggesting the fact that AVT has become outstanding in research in translation studies. The volume under review here comprises 12 articles in four sections on a wide variety of AVT issues, ranging from translation strategies and reception studies to media accessibility and pedagogical benefits of AVT. Most of the chapters are authored by seasoned researchers from different countries, and, as the editors note, the volume “offers an up-to-date survey of the present state of affairs in AVT” (p. 6) which helps open up promising avenues for researchers to pursue.
