To this end, the scarce contributions to the study of fandubbing available to date will be discussed, with a focus on the different practices that can be found in cyberspace nowadays and that attract the attention of young internet users both as consumers and as prosumers. Fandubbing is here understood as a phenomenon encompassing a myriad of co-creational amateur dubbing practices, which involve editing and adding a new dialogue track to an existing clip. This activity, including both serious and parodic dubbing, is performed by netizens who exhibit a positive emotional engagement with popular audiovisual culture and can therefore be considered as fans. The chapter will also explore some cyberdubbing practices undertaken not only by fans but by a wide range of internet users, and will reflect on their impact on young audiences. The discussion will expound key debates around young audiences and amateur dubbing, paying special attention to its potential for learning, socialisation, and identity and confidence building. In addition, it will highlight differences and similarities with other forms of translation of material aimed at children and teenagers, including official dubbing practices. date: 2025 date_type: published publisher: Routledge official_url: https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003291169-39 full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2362661 doi: 10.4324/9781003291169-39 isbn_13: 9781003291169 lyricists_name: Banos Pinero, Rocio lyricists_id: RBANO62 actors_name: Banos Pinero, Rocio actors_id: RBANO62 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted place_of_pub: New York, USA isbn: 1032270624 book_title: The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Young Audiences editors_name: Borodo, Michał editors_name: Diaz-Cintas, Jorge citation: Baños, Rocío; (2025) Young audiences and the phenomenon of fandubbing.
