Aline Remael is a Belgian translation scholar, best known for her work in audiovisual translation and media accessibility. Her impact in her chosen field is profound and she has been awarded the Jan Ivarsson Award for her services to screen translation.[1]
Biography
[edit]After working as a teacher and a freelance translator and interpreter, Remael spent most of her active career as a translation scholar at the University of Antwerp,[2] and was in 2018 rewarded with the Jan Ivarsson Award for invaluable services to the field of audiovisual translation. Since her retirement, she is emeritus Professor of Translation Theory, Interpreting and Audiovisual Translation/Media Accessibility at the Department of Applied Linguistics/Translators and Interpreters of the University of Antwerp. She is one of the founding members of the TransMedia Research Group.[3]
Research and impact
[edit]Remael has published widely in the joint fields of audiovisual translation and media accessibility. She has several publications on subtitling, audio description, and other topics within these fields. She has also co-edited several volumes on audiovisual translation and media accessibility, including Media for All 1: Subtitling for the Deaf, Audio Description and Sign Language (2007) and Media for All 3. AVT and Media Accessibility at the Crossroads (2012).[3] Even though Remael has published widely, she is probably best known to most translation students for her textbooks on subtitling, which she co-authored with Jorge Díaz Cintas. The first one, Audiovisual Translation: Subtitling appeared in 2007 and has been the standard textbook for subtitling courses in universities all over the world.[4] It was superseded in 2021 by their new co-publication Subtitling: Concepts and Practices.[5]
