Presentazione
Elena Di Giovanni is Lecturer in English Language and Translation at the University of Macerata, Degree Course in Language Mediation (first level) and Foreign Languages for International Communication and Cooperation (laurea magistrale).
Besides teaching in Macerata, where she is based, Elena Di Giovanni is currently lecturing in the International Master in Screen Translation of the University of Bologna at Forlì and the International Online MA in Audiovisual Translation of the University of Parma (Italy), as well as the Master of Arts in Screen Translation of Roehampton University, London (UK).
EDUCATION
After obtaining her BA in translation and interpreting at the University of Bologna at Forlì, in 1996,
with a dissertation on the Italian reception of Oscar Wilde’s fairy tales in translation, in 1997 she attended the first edition of the Postgraduate Course in Multimedia Translation organized by the same university. In the summer of 1997 she also attended the CETRA Summer Seminar, an intensive course on translation research organized by the University of Leuven, Belgium.
In 2004, she completed her PhD programme on English for Special Purposes (XV cycle) at the University Federico II in Naples, with a dissertation on the representation of cultural otherness in Disney films. She then received a two-year postdoctoral research grant from the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies in Translation, Languages and Cultures (SITLeC) of the University of Bologna at Forlì, to work on a project named “Training subtitlers: from a market-oriented research to the development of a quality protocol in subtitling”, chaired by Prof. Christopher Rundle. In 2006 she became full time lecturer at the University of Macerata.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
From 1999 to 2003 she was part of the teaching staff for the Postgraduate Course in Multimedia Translation (which became and MA programme in 2003) at the University of Bologna/Forlì.
From 2003 to 2006 she has taught translation theory and practice at undergraduate level both at the University of Bologna/Forlì and at the University of Macerata, Degree Course in Language Mediation.
In 2005 she was guest lecturer at the University of Leeds, for the Screen Translation MA programme. She gave lectures on the representation of cultural otherness in Disney films.
Since 2006, she has been teaching at the International Summer School in Screen Translation, organized by the University of Bologna at Forlì (SITLeC Department).
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
Elena Di Giovanni is currently engaged in several research projects, all of them focusing on audiovisual translation and its applications. Since July 2008, she has been a member of the EU- funded project “Digital Television for All” (DTV4ALL), for which she is in charge of the Italian research unit on audio description. The project, first designed by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has as its primary goal the development and testing of strategies and tools to increase media accessibility for individuals with sensory impairments, especially the blind, partially sighted, deaf and hard of hearing.
She is also working on a project aimed at evaluating the reception of subtitled films, through questionnaires administered to audiences at the most important Italian and international film festivals, in collaboration with a leading subtitling company.
Since 2009, she has been supervising several projects aimed at the provision of audio description for the blind and visually impaired: the Rome Fiction Festival (July); the Sferisterio Opera Festival (August) and the Venice Film Festival (September).
She is also engaged in eye tracking research, at a national and multi-national level, with the aim to enhance the objectivization (and possible standardization) of practices in audio description across Europe.
In October 2009, she hosted a roundtable on audiovisual translation training at the IIIrd Media for All International Conference, held at Artesis College, Antwerp, Belgium.
In August, 2010, she will be convening (with Pilar Orero and Silvia Bruti) a seminar on audiovisual translation (“Audiovisual translation across Europe: an ever-changing landscape”) at the Xth International ESSE Conference to be held in Torino, Italy.
She is also co-organizing an international conference on audiovisual translation (“SCREENIT2010 – The changing face of audiovisual translation”) to be held on 20-22 October, 2010, at the University of Bologna, Faculty for Interpreters and Translators.

Validità dei programmi d'esame di "lingua e traduzione inglese"
28/03/2010
A partire dalla sessione estiva dell'A.A. 2009/2010 agli studenti in debito degli esami triennali di lingua e traduzione inglese è data la possibilità di portare il programma riferito all'A.A. precedente (quindi attualmente quello dell'A.A. 2008/2009).
La validità dei programmi d'esame precedenti decade, in quanto la sezione di inglese ha stabilito che i programmi d'esame rimangono validi per due anni accademici consecutivi.
Gli studenti che hanno seguito i corsi in anni precedenti sono tenuti a portare il programma relativo all'A.A. 2009/2010.
Le prove già superate restano valide, e per quelle rimanenti l'integrazione dovrà essere fatta in base all'organizzazione dell'A.A. in corso.
