Summary

Translation Studies as an independent area of research have been developing over the last few decades, starting from linguistic approaches, through descriptive translation studies and system theories to the cultural movement in translation. Most of the translation research theories found their application in the study of audiovisual translation and its major modes. In the present paper special consideration will be given to one of the AVT modes i.e. dubbing and in particular dubbing in Poland. We will look at the role of Polish women directors, including Maria Piotrowska and Zofia Dybowska-Aleksandrowicz whose work in the 1970s and 1980s led to the establishment of the so-called Polish School of Dubbing.
