Abstract

Translation continues to reinvent itself. Different human actors and non-human actants drive this change, generating new forms of translation and diverse professional profiles. Audiovisual Translation (AVT) and Audiovisual Translation Studies (AVTS) have always been at the centre of these developments: AVT has been technology and industry-driven from the start and AVTS has incorporated technological and societal change as well as the forces that propel it from its inception. Meanwhile, AVT has incorporated media accessibility and has moved beyond the domain of audiovisual media in the strict sense into the provision of access to live cultural events. The present article offers some conceptual tools for understanding these developments as well as the actant-driven processes that underlie them. It traces recent developments in AVT and explains how they have given rise to the aforementioned new professional practices and profiles. It ends on an extensive case study, centring on the ACT European Erasmus+ project, which has identified and defined the emerging profile of the accessibility manager, and developed a tailor-made MOOC training course for it.

从翻译人员到无障碍管理人员:我们是如何做到这一点的?我们如何培训他们?

翻译不断自我改造。不同的人类行动者和非人类行动者推动了这种变化，产生了新的翻译形式和多样化的专业概况。视听翻译(AVT)和视听翻译研究(AVTS)一直处于这些发展的中心:AVT从一开始就是技术和行业驱动的，AVTS从一开始就结合了技术和社会变革以及推动它的力量。与此同时，AVT已经融入了媒体可及性，并超越了严格意义上的视听媒体领域，进入了提供现场文化活动的渠道。本文提供了一些概念性工具，用于理解这些开发以及作为其基础的行为驱动过程。它追溯了AVT的最新发展，并解释了它们是如何产生上述新的专业实践和概况的。最后，以ACT欧洲伊拉斯谟+项目为中心进行了广泛的案例研究，该项目确定并定义了无障碍管理人员的新兴形象，并为其开发了量身定制的MOOC培训课程。

期刊介绍： MonTI is an academic, peer-reviewed and international journal fostered by the three public universities with a Translation Degree in the Spanish region of Valencia (Universitat d’Alacant, Universitat Jaume I de Castelló and Universitat de València). Our first priority is to publish texts providing an in-depth analysis of translation- and interpreting-related matters that meet high standards of scientific rigour, foster debate and promote plurality. MonTI will publish one thematic issue each year, with a maximum of 600 pages, first as a hard copy journal (ISSN: 1889-4178) and, after a six-month interval, as an online journal (ISSN: 1989-9335), taking advantage of the digital platform provided by the University of Alicante. In order to ensure both linguistic democracy and dissemination of the journal to the broadest readership possible, the hard-copy version will publish articles in German, Spanish, French, Catalan and English. The online version is able to accommodate multilingual versions of articles so that authors who so desire can provide a copy of their article in a language other than the stipulated languages of publication. Furthermore, an attempt will be made to provide an English-language translation of all articles not submitted in this language. We would like to make special mention of our commitment to meeting international quality criteria. Thus, the journal will invite experts in each of the subject areas related to Translation and Interpreting to serve as issue editors. There will be an open call for papers for each issue, and at least 75% of the contributing authors will always be from universities other than our own. Each contribution will be peer-reviewed by two preeminent researchers or professionals, and MonTI will provide authors with a detailed explanation when an article is not considered worthy of publication.
