The visible subtitler: Blockchain technology towards right management and minting

Open Research Europe

There is little agreement regarding subtitle copyright beyond the understanding that it is a derivative work. While same language verbatim subtitles may have little room for creativity, interlingual subtitling is heavily dependent on the subtitler skills to translate, prioritise, and condense information. These days creative subtitles are increasingly being used as one more aesthetic element in audiovisual narrative. Though they may be in the same language, the visual attributes that contribute to the narrative development make creative subtitles one more element that should be acknowledged and copyright protected. Methods: The paper will present a short introduction to subtitling copyright. It will then describe centralised and decentralised copyright management — w...

Traducció automàtica: la tecnologia (in)visible de la traducció audiovisual

Tradumàtica: tecnologies de la traducció

En aquest sentit, la traducció automàtica és una de les tecnologies que s’integra cada vegada més en l’àmbit de la traducció audiovisual (TAV): “Audio-visual content is thus becoming just the latest in a long line of commercial products whose markets can be expanded through machine translation” (Kenny 2022:33). Tot i els beneficis i oportunitats que indubtablement ofereix aquesta tecnologia en la TAV, es plantegen dubtes, problemàtiques i reptes al seu voltant com ara la qualitat de les traduccions i les qüestions ètiques a tenir en compte respecte a l'opacitat en l’ús, propietat, permís i distribució de les dades (Moorkens 2019). El següent article pretén presentar una retrospectiva de l’ús de les tecnologies en les diverses ...

Traditional media channels such as TV and cinema are being replaced by new media formats, such as video-on-demand (VoD) platforms, videogames, or more recently virtual reality environments. These new realities are challenging traditional practices and opening up novel fields of research in Translation Studies. Accessibility has gained momentum since the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities by the United Nations in 2006. Since then, three key pieces of legislation have followed at a European level, namely the European Web Accessibility Directive (2016), the updated European Audiovisual Media Service Directive (2018), and the European Accessibility Act (2019). This accessibility legislative framework is now being transposed in the different European Member States and has a direct impact on AVT and MA research and practice. As Matamala states, this new media landscape is a unique opportunity for professionals and researchers in these fields.

YoungArcHers: Nuevas narrativas digitales inclusivas y accesibles sobre patrimonio cultural en el contexto educativo

El uso creciente de la tecnología y los elementos digitales son soluciones que se aplican en el contexto cultural para dar respuesta a la creciente demanda de desarrollo de la audiencia. Sin embargo, su uso exige nuevos enfoques para relacionarnos con nuestro patrimonio cultural y artístico. La creación de narrativas digitales permite formas de participación, abre nuevos espacios para que en los contextos educativos se exploren nuevas formas de colaboración para comprender, preservar e interactuar con el patrimonio cultural. Las herramientas de aprendizaje digital abren nuevas puertas para acceder a contenidos culturales desde los hogares, las escuelas y las universidades, y permiten que las personas generen, reutilicen y añadan valor a los contenidos tangibles e intangibles del patrimonio cultural. Los contextos educativos constituyen espacios seguros e inclusivos para estudiantes con distintas habilidades. Sin emb...

The Process of Subtitling at Film Festivals: Death in Venice?" 1

Compared to ordinary films seen in the cinemas or on TV, in the case of film festivals technology has a higher impact on both the process and the display. This contribution presents a retrospective analysis of the subtitling practice at film festivals, data gathered from the Venice Film Festival - which is the oldest festival of its kind dating from 1932. Though the subtitling process may not be the same as in other film festivals, the underline principles remain the same.

Accessible scenic arts and Virtual Reality: A pilot study with aged people about user preferences when reading subtitles in immersive environments

La inclusión de estudios de recepción de subtítulos en este nuevo medio basado en realidad virtual es necesario. En el campo específico de los estudios de accesibilidad en los medios de comunicación, la accesibilidad en los medios inmersivos se encuentra aún en un estado embrionario. Este artículo explora las preferencias de dos opciones de subtítulos: subtítulos para sordos y discapacitados auditivos y subtítulos en lectura fácil, elaborados para un vídeo en 360º de la ópera Roméo et Juliette, interpretada en el Gran Teatre del Liceu durante la temporada 2017/2018. El estudio se preparó y se realizó con personas de entre 50 y 79 años de edad, con el objetivo de determinar las opciones de subtitulación preferidas por las personas mayores.

All Together Now: A multi-language and multi-system mobile application to make live performing arts accessible 1

These days, theatre or opera may be staged anywhere from the traditional seating arrangement to a popular open air representation where actors and audience move in a dynamic open mise en scène. In some theatre houses, accessibility to the audio (subtitles) and visual elements of the performances (audio description) has been arranged through the installation of screens on the back of seats, or through the projection of surtitles on a large screen usually located above the stage. In some cases, both practices coexist to show in written form what is being spoken or sung, translated into the vernacular, and audio described to provide a user-friendly representation. Surtitles, subtitles, audio description, audio subtitling and some other accessible services are being increasingly required by European Directives relating to media content. Yet many barriers still make accessibility an almost utopian ideal. Intelligent mobile phones and the ...

For media accessibility, quality is an agreed benchmark issued by a standardisation agency. The context of work on media accessibility in standardisation agencies is the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), wherein article 9.2 requests States Parties to take appropriate measures, among others “To develop, promulgate and monitor the implementation of minimum standards and guidelines for the accessibility of facilities and services open or provided to the public”. Meeting CRPD requirements has led to many international standardisation agencies to actively produce technical requirements towards accessibility, both for physical and digital/online environments. Technology is developing at a fast pace to produce new interactions, which turn into new communication barriers, some of which might be avoidable. Looking at recommendations from some accessibility standards at the design stage could solve many issues and help towards nat...
