The paper is organized into two main parts: (i) an overview of background research topics in the field of Audiovisual Translation studies (AVT), which allow us to clearly delimit 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, which will force us to (re)view some key concepts such as text, accessibility, norm, and so on. Finally, we further investigate factors and conditions that may help define new research paths

Keywords: accessibility, AVT modality, digitization, reception, subtitling
