The paper is organized into two main parts: (i) an overview of background research topics in the field of Audiovisual Translation studies (AVT), which allows the clear delimitation of the main research trends which have emerged in the last decade, along with their repercussions, limits, and conceptual and methodological gaps; (ii) a prospective discussion combining Audiovisual Translation together with some specific trends in Translation Studies, leading to the (re)view of some key concepts such as text, accessibility, norm, and so on. Finally, factors and conditions are investigated that may help define new research paths.
