Book Presentation:
This volume is a collection of selected papers presented at the "International Conference on Dubbing and Subtitling in a World Context" organized by the Department of Translation of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in October 2001. There is a growing globalization of the film industry which creates a huge demand for the professional service of dubbing and subtitling. This book looks at dubbing and subtitling from a world perspective, and is a must-read for anyone who wants to have a deeper understanding of the history and theory of subtitling.
