Abstract

SANTOS, Admilson; SILVA, Luciene Maria da  and  FARIAS, Sandra Regina Rosa. The look, the word and the audiodescription. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.50, pp.63-76. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.v26.n50.6376.

Visually impaired people count on an accessibility resource denominated Audio Description (AD) which is roughly consisted of the description of information broadcasted in a movie, a TV program, theatrical play, photography, paintwork and everything else involving images. The current debate on AD encompasses problematizing aesthetical issues during its realization. In order to think about those chinks in the approaches on the way blind people receive it, we resort to the documentary Janela da Alma by filmmakers João Jardim and Walter Carvalho (2001), in a dialog with authors who reflected upon sight prominence. Next, we approach and reflect upon the role of the word itself, based on Bakhtin (2003, 2006) and other authors. Performed under that perspective, Audio Description will be stemming from the conscience that we are for the recognition of our capabilities and of the other’s, as well as for showing respect for diversity and for difference.

Keywords : Audio Description; Word; Visually Impaired People.
