RESEARCH LINES:

Mara Logaldo obtained a PhD in English Studies from the University of Genoa with a thesis on the structural function of metaphor in selected novels and short stories of Henry James’s experimental phase (Figura e rappresentazione in Henry James: 1896-1901, Edizioni Dell'Orso, Alessandria, 2000), Her scientific interest has then been centred on linguistic and discursive practices in media texts, according to a critical-analytical and multimodal approach. The research has progressively focused on New Journalism, on the genre of the review, on captions in photojournalism and more recently on the subtitling of audiovisual texts. Following this latter didactic and scientific interest, she has extensively published on Audiovisual Translation (TAV), investigating the pragmatics of film dialogue and the technical, linguistic, and cultural challenges posed by subtitles (Teoria e tecnica della traduzione audiovisiva, Dino Audino Editore, Roma, 2021). She has presented at numerous international conferences and contributed to various national and international research projects. Among the most recent ones, “Variation and Norm in Translation, from the Press to Orality: Theory, Practice, Profession”, coordinated by Prof. Giuliana Elena Garzone.

Mara Logaldo is a member of the Advisory Board of The Interiors. An Annual Journal of English Studies (India) and a member of the editorial board of Poli-femo.
