“…Thus, both theoretical approaches can additionally be related to each other for perceiving multimodality in translation studies (Kaindl, 2020, p. 55). Kaindl (2020) reaffirms that, in translation, the source text ceases to play a key role.…”

“…Additionally, the relationship between multimodality and translation studies is not unidirectional. Kaindl (2020) states that the transcultural factor of transposing meaning, which is the basis of translation studies, was a dimension that had not received attention in social semiotic theory: While Kress and van Leeuwen pointed out the characteristics of multimodality in their theory with the transcultural aspect hardly playing a role, Holz-Mänttäri above all investigated the steps of actions which are relevant for producing multimodal texts across language and cultural barriers. Thus, both theoretical approaches can additionally be related to each other for perceiving multimodality in translation studies (Kaindl, 2020, p. 55).…”

This paper presents an analysis of the trailers of a telefiction series originally produced in English and simultaneously distributed in Spanish in Latin America. Looking (aired between 2014 and 2016 by HBO) was a contemporary dramedy series, a hybrid genre typical of the quality TV promoted by HBO, whose plot dealt with the life of three gay friends living in San Francisco. The aesthetics of the series reveals the auteur cinematic work of Andrew Haigh, a film director who applied his visual narrative repertoire to Looking. Using the multimodal analysis model proposed by Kaindl (2020) and the structure of communicative modes proposed by Chaume (2004) and Stöckl (2004), the translation and Latin American adaptation of two trailers of the series are studied to understand whether the semiotic integration of the paratexts portraits or intensifies the narrative aspects of the hybrid genre series.

“…From a multimodal approach, this study seeks to explore the way in which these paratexts integrate the aesthetic elements of the TV series into their composition and editing, and how these elements are resemiotized in their translated versions for Latin America. The study, therefore, is not only based on the interlingual dimension of translation, but also integrates notions of inter/intra-genre translation proposed within the framework of multimodal translation theory (Kaindl, 2020).…”

This is the fourteenth issue of Language Value, the journal created by the Department of English Studies at Universitat Jaume I (UJI) over 12 years ago. Since its beginning, the journal has grown and progressed, and, at this moment, it is already indexed and recognised internationally. In this evolution, many persons have left their imprint, some of them from the department that devised this journal. One of these persons was Raquel Segovia Martín, who unfortunately left us one year ago. Raquel arrived at Universitat Jaume I from the University of Pittsburgh (USA), where she had obtained her PhD degree in Languages and Film Studies and taught Spanish language and culture courses. Since very young, she had been interested in the Spanish language: she had finished her bachelor’s degree in Hispanic Philology at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. However, she saw an opportunity to adapt her profile and to participate in the new project of Universitat Jaume I in 1994, once she had decided to come back to Spain. At this university, she could combine her knowledge of Spanish and English in translation courses and add to it her expertise in film and communication studies. She was a good teacher and a good colleague who left us much too soon. This volume is in memoriam of Raquel Segovia Martín, and the articles included in it are all related to her profile: translation, cinema and communication.

“…Contrary to the widespread belief in interpreting research that interpreters play an active role in interactions, both lay people and scholars often treat interpreters as mediational means: 'Translators are solely there to make the interaction between the two politicians possible, i.e., they are viewed, act and react as mediational means' (Norris, 2019, p. 39). The interpreter's position in situated practice is seldom as straightforward as making the interaction possible without interfering; however, static concepts of translation are not uncommon in multimodal studies (and vice versa) (Kaindl, 2020). In this paper, I treat the interpreter as a social actor in the sense that the interpreters´actions beyond the act of translation affect the interactional pattern.…”

Fight for focus: attention and agency in sight-translated interaction

This paper presents an analysis of three roleplayed interpreted institutional meetings in which sight translation is part of the interaction. The analysis is based on multimodal (inter)action analysis and utilises the analytical tool of modal density as indication of attention/awareness. This analytical framework is novel in interpreting studies. The data include filmed material from an experimental setting and participants' reflections about the situation. The findings show variations in sight translation practices and that the shift from interpreting to sight translation affects interactional patterns, particularly social actors' attention and agency. In my discussion of agency in sight-translated interaction, I argue that interpreters, in addition to translating, need to pay attention to interactional issues related to attention and agency caused by the interpreting method.
