A description of the book and table of contents can be found below:

This special issue seeks to open up new interdisciplinary perspectives 
on the translation, adaptation and localization of media paratexts. The 
global circulation of digital media products and the increased 
customization of the user experience have resulted in a proliferation of 
such paratexts, whether in the form of promotional material (trailers, 
posters), fan-made material, or curated or data-driven user interfaces. 
While the disciplines of Media Studies and Digital Studies have embraced 
– and arguably even been transformed by – the study of such paratextual 
elements, the fields of audiovisual translation or of translation in the 
digital age have yet to integrate them into their object of study.This 
collection explores the impact that those intercultural mediations have 
on how media products are accessed, interpreted and perceived in the 
target cultures, thus widening the perspective from the media products 
themselves to the broader constellations of productions within which 
they circulate.
