Patrick Zabalbeascoa, PhD in English Studies and Translation, is a full Professor in Translation Studies at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain. He lectures in translation theory and audiovisual screen translation, mostly from English into Spanish and Catalan. His research is focused on translation studies, with special attention to the television and the cinema. He also has numerous publications in translation theory, an area in which he has developed a model of priorities and restrictions, and proposed alternative approaches to traditional views on so-called translation techniques, or shifts. Some of his most recent thinking and publications have to do with developing the idea of "mapping" translation solutions through a system of binary branching, and also "mapping" audiovisual text components on coordinates defined by an audio/visual axis, and a verbal / non-verbal axis. He has worked on several EC funded projects and Thematic Networks. He is co-director of a Postgraduate Diploma (UPF-BSM) in Audiovisual Translation. He is co-director of a Masters Degree (UPF-BSM) in Audiovisual and Literary Translation. For his full CV and further information visit https://www.upf.edu/web/patrick_zabalbeascoa
