Comunicação acessível em museus: audiodescrição ao serviço da arte inclusiva

Museums are highly visual places (De Coster, 2007), where enjoying art, whether alone or in groups, and interpreting its clear and ambivalent signs depend almost exclusively on people’s sight.

Analysis of fixed language in the subtitled documentary film "The Real Da Vinci...

This paper is based on the assumption that audiovisual translation performs a social and cultural function over its viewers, thus still justifying studies that focus on linguistic issues. This is particularly striking for the reading literacy in countries such as Portugal, which are traditionally subtitling countries, even if dubbing and voice-over are also occasionally used, particularly in the case of documen...

Línguas minoritárias no ecrã: o caso da língua mirandesa em Portugal

The screen, be it the cinema screen or the home screen, is acknowledged almost unanimously as a powerful means for the assertion of national languages or prestigious standards. Despite this, its power can also be extended to the defence of minority languages, official or not, and two of the most outstanding examples are the Catalan Regional Channels, such as TV3, EI33, or Canal Nou, and bilingual subtitling pra...
