The European Association for Studies in Screen Translation (ESIST) is an international professional and scholarly association in the field of audiovisual translation.[1] ESIST defines screen translation as encompassing 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.
History
ESIST was founded in March 1995 in Cardiff by a group of professionals and academics from fifteen European universities with the initial aim of promoting a dialogue among creators, translators, distributors, and scholars working in the area of European audiovisual broadcasting and multimedia production.[2][3]
Over the years, ESIST has been promoting European cooperation in audiovisual translation training[4][5] and the standardization of subtitling practices at a European level.[6] The Comparative Subtitling project, launched in 2000, was the first comparative analysis of subtitling practices and guidelines in all European countries. [7][8]
In 1998, ESIST endorsed the Code of Good Subtitling Practice.[9] The Code is a set of guidelines developed by Jan Ivarsson and Mary Carroll[10][11] and it is generally viewed as the standard in the profession.
In 2010, ESIST signed a protocol of understanding with the European Society for Translation Studies (EST), which was aimed at enabling knowledge exchange and raising awareness of audiovisual translation as one of the most significant areas for research in the contemporary cultural environment.[12]
