0:16 - What is audiovisual translation and why should it be studied?
1:19 - What is the future of subtitling, dubbing, audio description, respeaking and other techniques and modalities of audiovisual translation?
3:46 - Within the ongoing debate in audiovisual translation about professionalism and fan phenomena, what is the difference between something produced by a consumer for a consumer and something produced by a professional for a consumer?
7:18 - What are the main ways in which participatory or collaborative culture emerges? Are there any ethical, moral or legal (copyright) implications that one may observe?
13:06 - In your latest monograph, Audiovisual translation: theories, methods and issues, you mention an interesting concept; that of 'self-mediation'. You also suggest that there has been a 'demotic turn' in audiovisual translation. What are you referring to when you speak of this 'demotic turn'?
16:17 - Could you tell us a little bit about your latest project: Genealogies of Knowledge?
