Abstract

This contribution focuses on voice-over translation as a form of intercultural communication. The pilot study discussed here aims to investigate the role of voice-over techniques such as revoicing, narration and simultaneous interpreting in negotiating Italian cultural identity in non-fiction BBC broadcasts. The study is divided into five parts. The theoretical perspectives underpinning the research, narrative theory, imagology and critical discourse analysis are introduced in the first sections. An overview of the literature on voice-over translation follows in section two, while sections three, four and five present the analyses of three mini case studies spanning three non-fiction genres. The contribution concludes with some tentative observations and directions for further research.
