"The book proposes a new perspective on avant-garde cinema, utilising approaches from intermediality to explore how the spirit of experimentation, a hallmark of historical avant-garde and post-war artistic movements, is still present in contemporary filmmaking today. The volume explores how contemporary avant-garde filmmakers have brought innovation to modern cinema. Filmmakers, such as, Jean-Luc Godard, Lars von Trier, and Alexander Sokurov and their contemporary works will be analyzed, reflecting on their experimentation with cinematic techniques and the mixing of the film medium with other media, such as literature, theatre, and painting. Important research questions considered throughout the book include: How do intermedial experiments convey meaning in films? What is the impact on the spectator of the mixing of various media forms in cinema? And how are the contemporary films of Jean-Luc Godard, Lars von Trier, and Alexander Sokurov innovative and experimental? The book is devoted to all these themes and provides a thorough analysis of contemporary films examined through an intermedial perspective. Providing a comprehensive analysis of contemporary avant-garde filmmaking from an intermedial perspective, this book will be of interest to graduate students and scholars working in intermedial studies, film and media studies, and cultural studies"--

"This collection provides an in-depth exploration of surtitling for theatre and its potential in enhancing accessibility and creativity in both the production and reception of theatrical performances. The volume collects the latest research on surtitling, which encompasses translating lyrics or sections of dialogue and projecting them on a screen. While most work has focused on opera, this book showcases how it has increasingly played a role in theatre by examining examples from well-known festivals and performances. The eleven chapters underscore how the hybrid nature and complex semiotic modes of theatrical texts, coupled with technological advancements, offer a plurality of possibilities for applying surtitling effectively across different contexts. The book calls attention to the ways in which agents in theatrical spaces need to carefully reflect on the role of surtitling in order to best serve the needs of diverse audiences and produce inclusive productions, from translators considering appropriate strategies to directors working on how to creatively employ it in performance to companies looking into all means available for successful implementation. Offering a space for interdisciplinary dialogues on surtitling in theatre, this book will be of interest to scholars in audiovisual translation, media accessibility, and theatre and performance studies"--

“This collection of essays represents an original and much needed contribution to the study of transcreation. The chapters are well-tuned to professional, media, technological and pedagogical realities on the ground, establishing useful links between theory and practice. Every essay in its own way takes existing scholarship forward by enriching our understanding of transcreation and carving new pathways for interdisciplinary study.” -Dionysios Kapsaskis, University of Roehampton, UK This edited book explores the practice of transcreation in a variety of contexts, from audiovisual material to digital and marketing material. Drawing on the latest developments in translation and media studies, the volume promotes an understanding of the transcreation process and the way it challenges the concept of translation (Chaume 2018) and impacts on training for translators, localizers and content creators. Chapters include both theoretical and experimental research contributions that investigate facets of transcreation in diverse media and genres and offer constructive insights in the discipline. This book covers the theoretical aspects and practices of transcreation in audiovisual and digital media and will appeal to scholars, researchers and professionals working in the fields of translation, especially audiovisual translation, transcreation, localization and new media.
