“…Earlier contributions already demonstrated the usefulness of narratology for source text analysis and content selection in audio description (cf. Kruger, 2010;Vercauteren, 2012;Vercauteren and Remael, 2014). The strategy discussed above seems to confirm that it can also be used for the analysis and audio description of characters.…”

“…accounts of "who did what to and with whom, when, where, why and in what fashion" (Herman, 2002, p. 9). While the present article focuses on source text analysis, other contributions to the field of audio description, such as Vercauteren (2011) and Vercauteren and Remael (2014) have shown that insights in the process of mental model creation can offer valuable help when it comes to selecting the most relevant content for audio descriptions.…”

“…Starting from this postulate, Vercauteren (2012) suggests a narratological strategy for analyzing and rendering the temporal organization of events that take place in stories. Likewise Vercauteren and Remael (2014) use a narratological approach to develop a strategy for describing spatiotemporal settings. In addition to time and settings, characters have received a lot of attention in narratology.…”

Résumé de l'article Cet article est consacré à deux problèmes de l'audiodescription (AD) qui ont jusqu'à présent bénéficié de peu d'attention. La recherche menée en AD est essentiellement multi-et interdisciplinaire. Tandis que les études sémiotiques, l'analyse du discours, la narratologie et l'analyse filmique constituent quelques-uns des cadres théoriques régulièrement utilisés pour l'étude de la description audio, très peu de travaux ont été consacrés à la manière dont celle-ci peut s'insérer dans la traductologie. La première partie de cet article décrit une approche fonctionnelle de l'audiodescription, d'abord en vue de renforcer la position de l'AD dans la traductologie, ensuite pour contribuer à systématiser la recherche menée en AD. Dans la deuxième partie, une telle approche systématique est appliquée à une question jugée « vitale » dans de nombreuses directives nationales en matière d'AD, à savoir la description des personnages. À partir des principes de la narratologie formelle, une stratégie est élaborée pour permettre aux descripteurs d'analyser les personnages d'une manière générale et structurée, et de retenir l'information pertinente à insérer dans leur description. 71 Traduction, textes, médias / Translation, texts, media A Translational and Narratological Approach to Audio Describing Narrative Characters Gert Vercauteren University of Antwerp AbstractThe present article examines two issues in the field of audio description (AD) that so far have received little attention. Research in AD is highly multi-and interdisciplinary, and while semiotics, discourse analysis, narratology and film studies are some of the frameworks that are regularly used to study audio description, few attempts have been made to frame AD within the field of translation studies (TS). The first part of this article, therefore, describes a functionalist approach to audio description, both to strengthen the position of AD within TS and to contribute to a systematization of AD research. In the second part, such a systematic approach is applied to one question deemed "vital" in many national AD guidelines: the audio description of characters. Based on principles from formal narratology, a strategy is developed that allows describers to analyze characters in a structured, general way and to select relevant character information to be included in their descriptions. Keywords: audio description, functionalism, narratology, character description, content selection Ré...

“…Así pues, consideramos cumplido el primer objetivo secundario de esta tesis porque hemos creado un marco teórico que integra la teoría sobre recepción narrativa con los aspectos más mentales de la misma. De hecho, esta combinación de enfoques nos ha permitido comprender las implicaciones cognitivas de la Teoría de los Modelos Mentales , que hasta el momento se había utilizado en la investigación sobre AD solo desde una perspectiva narrativa Vercauteren y Remael, 2014). De esta manera, hemos podido ir un paso más lejos y presentar una de las aportaciones fundamentales de esta tesis: una propuesta teórica de carácter narratológico y cognitivo que describe cómo los usuarios CocBV (re)crean a los personajes audiodescritos durante el proceso de recepción de productos cinematográficos.…”

Inspired by the belief that cognitive and pragmatic models of communication and discourse processing offer great potential for the study of Audiovisual Translation (AVT), this paper will review such models and discuss their contribution to conceptualising the three inter-related sub-processes underlying all forms of AVT: the comprehension of the multimodal discourse by the translator; the translation of selected elements of this discourse; and the comprehension of the newly formed multimodal discourse by the target audience. The focus will be on two models, Relevance Theory, which presents the most comprehensive pragmatic model of communication, and Mental Model Theory, which underlies cognitive models of discourse processing. The two approaches will be used to discuss and question common perceptions of AVT as being ‘constrained’ and ‘partial’ translation.
