Abstract
This study looks into the series Gentleman Jack, an audiovisual adaptation of Anne Lister's diaries, in order to compile a bilingual corpus comprising the original audiovisual text and the subtitles translated into Spanish for a streaming content platform. Thus, it is possible to adopt a qualitative methodology based on the linguistic analysis of the audiovisual text from a gender and diachronic approach, applying translation theories and feminist translation strategies. Moreover, through a semi-structured interview with the translator of the Spanish subtitled version (Mateo Montaño Tenor), the main translation difficulties and the solutions envisioned during the process are identified. The conclusions, based on the viability of the gender approach in audiovisual translation, show that the main purpose of the series has been maintained: to highlight the figure of Anne Lister as an empowered woman as well as LGBT sexuality in the context of Victorian England.
