November 10, 2026. The Lingua Research Institute (iLingua) at the University of Vigo organized another edition of Linguamente<\/em>, an online scientific conference dedicated to exploring the connections between language, languages, and cognition from linguistic, social, neurological, and cognitive perspectives. On this occasion, Linguamente2026<\/em> addressed the challenges of automatic dubbing, audio description, and access to culture for people with and without disabilities. Under the title \u201cMind, Translation, and Interpretation in the Media: The Role of the Mind in the Translation and Interpretation of Art and Audiovisual Media for People with and without Disabilities,\u201d the event, coordinated by Pablo Romero Fresco, professor of Translation and Interpretation and a researcher at iLingua, could be followed live via the University of Vigo\u2019s streaming platform.<\/p>\n\n

Linguamente2026<\/em> focused on how mental processes, emotions, creativity, and perception influence the translation and interpretation of artistic and audiovisual content. Through three lectures and a roundtable discussion, the event addressed issues of particular relevance in a context marked by the development of automated voice and video generation technologies and by the need to move toward a more accessible and inclusive culture. The first presentation was given by Sof\u00eda S\u00e1nchez Mompe\u00e1n, a professor in the Department of Translation and Interpretation at the University of Murcia, with the lecture \u201cThe Voice That (Does Not) Convince: Toward an Evaluation of the Quality of Automatic Dubbing.\u201d A specialist in audiovisual translation and prosody, S\u00e1nchez Mompe\u00e1n focused her presentation on the challenges posed by evaluating the automated voices used in dubbing and the media. The second lecture, \u201cBetween Words, Bodies, and Voices: Emotion, Creativity, Gender, and Accessibility in Audio Description,\u201d delivered by Ana Mar\u00eda Rojo L\u00f3pez, professor of Translation and Interpretation at the University of Murcia, explored the relationship between cognitive processes, emotions, and creativity in audio description. Rojo L\u00f3pez directs the Translation, Didactics, and Cognition research group in Murcia and has extensive experience studying the individual and emotional factors involved in translation processes. The third lecture was delivered by Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Garc\u00eda Vizca\u00edno, a professor at Montclair State University (U.S.). Under the title \u201cThe Art of Describing Art: Reflections on Accessibility in Painting and Sculpture,\u201d Professor Garc\u00eda Vizca\u00edno highlighted the challenge of making works of art accessible to people with visual impairments. Specializing in audio description and tactile accessibility in art museums, Garc\u00eda Vizca\u00edno also develops projects that bring the performing arts and the visual arts to Spanish-speaking audiences with low vision. The event concluded with a roundtable discussion moderated by Pablo Romero on the content of the previous presentations, featuring questions posed by both the event coordinator and the online audience.<\/p>\n\n
