The European Association for Studies in Screen Translation (ESIST) is an international association in the field of audiovisual translation.[1] According to ESIST, screen translation includes all forms of language transfer in the media, including subtitling, dubbing, voice-over, interpreting for the media, surtitling, subtitling for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, and audio description for blind and partially sighted audiences.[2]

History

[edit]

ESIST was founded in March 1995 in Cardiff by a group of professionals and academics from fifteen European universities to establish communication with creators, translators, distributors, and scholars working in the area of European audiovisual broadcasting and multimedia production.[3][4]

ESIST has been active in promoting European cooperation in audiovisual translation training[5][6] and the standardization of subtitling practices at a European level.[7] In 2000 it launched The Comparative Subtitling project, the first comparative analysis of subtitling practices and guidelines in all European countries.[8][9]

In 1998, ESIST endorsed the Code of Good Subtitling Practice.[10] The Code is a set of guidelines developed by Jan Ivarsson and Mary Carroll,[11][12] which has emerged as a recognized standard in the profession.[13][14]

In 2010, ESIST signed a protocol of understanding with the European Society for Translation Studies (EST) to enable knowledge exchange in the field of audiovisual translation.[15]

In 2018, the inaugural issue of Journal of Audiovisual Translation was published by ESIST, and new issues are published at a rate of at least two a year. This open-access, peer-reviewed journal is the first academic international journal dedicated to audiovisual translation studies and media accessibility.[16]
