"Humour Translation in the Age of Multimedia, an engaging volume edited by Margherita Dore, explores the concept of humour "a pervasive phenomenon of human life" (Dore, 2021: 1), its mechanisms, and the role of the translator as a cultural mediator in today's multimedia society. Rich in case studies and empirical research, the book incorporates diverse genres, media, and cultural settings and proposes a novel outlook on how humour is mediated in today's ever-expanding digital era. ."

"an inspiring book in focusing on the intersections of Translation Studies, Linguistics and Media Studies. As such, it does credit to Routledge's interdisciplinary perspective. Used as a wide-ranging textbook and an up-to-date research study, it will be treasured by students and researchers alike. Besides, the reader will find it particularly rewarding to navigate through the concise index of people, concepts/subjects/theories, and source texts"
