“…The audio describer detaches from neutrality and creates a script which enhances the information carried by the audiovisual product. The contents of the source text, the documentary, are overtly feminist and queer, and they should a be accompanied by a deliberate queer and feminist AD, which adapts feminist translation strategies that are able to render visible the historically hidden or marginalised as postulated by feminist and queer translation theorist and professionals (Castro and Ergun 2017;Epstein and Gillett 2017;Baer and Kaindl 2018;Baer 2020;Rose 2021;Martínez Pleguezuelos 2018;Iturregui-Gallardo in press).…”

Intersectional feminist translation provides visibility to the historically hidden or marginalized characters and narratives. This article interrogates the strategies we can apply to translate images into words, that is, to audio describe non-normative identities while adhering to the particularities of audiovisual productions. It poses the question of how to provide a feminist audio description that aligns with the creators’ intent. The objective of this study is to analyse the strategies applied to create a gender-conscious AD of a documentary on lesbophobia where ten women share their experiences as non-normative persons. They are defined by a series of intrinsic features such as race, gender expression or age and present a myriad of differences that have irremediably influenced their experience of lesbophobia and how society reads and identifies them. The visual contents in this documentary provide essential information that complements the understanding of the problem by people with visual impairment. This action research study analyses the challenges emerged during the AD production. It aims to emphasize the mediating power of AD professionals and how they influence the understanding of blind audiences.

“…In the field of translation studies, previous research has focused on describing the micro-textual characteristics of translated dialogues from HBO shows, such as the vulgar language in The Wire (Ortiz García 2021, 2022), fan translation strategies in Game of Thrones (Švelch 2013), and gayspeak in Angels in America and Six Feet Under (Ranzato 2012(Ranzato , 2015. HBO's Looking has also been analyzed regarding the translation of cultural references in the Peninsular Spanish dubbed version of the show (Iglesias Urquízar 2021Martínez Pleguezuelos 2018).…”

This study focuses on the HBO series Looking, whose two seasons and film make up a critical telecinematic artifact that reveals how authorial vision integrates ideologies on class, race, and desire that are identifiable in visual modes and language use—particularly multilingual dialogues. The analysis begins with the assumption that Looking is a relevant case of complex television and centers on the narrative structure of the series and the way that language, translation, and visual semiotic resources interact in the construction of a gay Latino character in the source version of the series and two Spanish dubbed versions—one for Latin America and the other for Spain. The findings reveal that Looking, as a televisual and aesthetic artifact, proposes a post-gay discourse of homoerotic relationships while also constructing racialized objects of desire, particularly the Latinx (male) body. A comparative linguistic analysis shows that both the dubbed versions highlight the boundaries of the so-called globalized gay identity. The data gathered demonstrate that the representation of ethnic, racial, and erotic difference changes according to the language system used. Moreover, new interactions between dubbed dialogues and visual resources result in a greater degree of semiotic layering of ideological discourses throughout the series.
