New perspectives in Audiovisual Translation - Towards Future Research Trends

VV VVAA

Maison d'édition: Publicacions de la Universitat de València

Synopsis

The aim of this book is to contribute to the dissemination of current research carried out by young scholars who are starting to build promising careers in the field of audiovisual translation. Although it is by no means an exhaustive collection of state-of-the-art approaches to AVT, this publication offers a carefully chosen list of research perspectives that are worth exploring in the current technologised landscape that this area of translation has become.
Therefore, it represents a select yet judicious group of studies, with the added strength that the contributions presented here are not limited to academic circles, but rather offer different points of view from various angles, given the diverse profiles that characterizes the authors. Thus, each chapter deals with the subject of AVT from an academic, educational or professional perspective. As diverse as their approaches are, all the young authors who have collaborated to create this volume offer enriching perspectives that reflect the potential that AVT still has today and the prospective studies that are worth undertaking to continue enriching the field of AVT.

The Planning Fallacy -...

William Rands

The allure of optimism has been a driving force behind humanity’s greatest achievements. It propels innovation, inspires ambition, and fosters resilience in the face of adversity. Yet, this same optimism can lead us astray, particularly when it comes to planning and executing tasks. The belief that everything will unfold as envisioned, without significant setbacks or challenges, is an enticing illusion. This overconfidence, while comforting, often masks the reality of time and resource constraints, resulting in a phenomenon known as the planning fallacy.
At its core, the planning fallacy arises from our tendency to underestimate the time, effort, and costs required to complete tasks, regardless of past experiences. Even seasoned professionals and experienced teams are not immune to this bias, often succumbing to unrealistic timelines and budgets. The hidden costs of this fallacy ripple through personal lives, businesses, and large-scale projects, leaving behind missed deadlines, financial overruns, and unmet expectations.
On an individual level, the planning fallacy can manifest in simple daily scenarios. People frequently underestimate how long it will take to commute, complete errands, or prepare for events. This miscalculation leads to stress, frustration, and a constant feeling of being behind. In professional settings, it becomes even more pronounced, as teams juggle complex projects with high stakes. Unrealistic deadlines can push employees to their limits, fostering burnout and reducing overall productivity.
