“…Not only limited to space differences, but the existence of Visual Reader, which had the role of replacing Audio Description (AD) is also very influential in providing additional information about the films they watch. Audio description is an assistive service consisting of a set of techniques and abilities, whose main objective is to compensate for the lack of perception of the visual component in any audio-visual message, by providing suitable sound information which translates or explains, in such a way that the visually impaired perceive the message as a harmonious work which is as similar as possible to that which is perceived by the sighted (Bardini, 2020b).…”

“…De acordo com Bardini (2020), a AD é "uma forma de acessibilidade de mídias que transforma elementos visuais em um texto verbal para proporcionar o acesso ao público cego ou com deficiência visual". Pode ser utilizada em qualquer tipo de material visual, como filmes, espetáculos de teatro, dança ou shows, eventos esportivos, concertos, obras de artes, e até mesmo locais, através das orientações direcionais.…”

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo exploratório embasado na Semântica de Frames (FILLMORE, 1982, 1985), que analisa as relações entre frames semânticos identificados no texto transcrito da audiodescrição (AD) e do áudio original de um trecho do curta-metragem brasileiro "Eu não quero voltar sozinho" (2010), de modo a contribuir para pesquisas da área de audiodescrição, da tradução audiovisual e dos estudos interessados no processamento semântico-computacional de objetos multimodais. O objetivo foi verificar como as relações entre frames da FrameNet, bem como as categorias designadas pelos frames de topo contribuem para entender o processo de articulação e/ou complementação semântica do recorte analisado do curta-metragem. Para isto, foi compilado um corpus comparável monolíngue composto por um excerto do texto transcrito da audiodescrição e do áudio original. A análise do corpus foi feita com o uso de planilhas em um editor online e de anotações semânticas feitas na plataforma Web Annotation Tool, pertencente à FrameNet Brasil. Os resultados mostram que a relação de Herança foi a mais encontrada entre os frames e que, em geral, os mesmos tipos de frames de topo são evocados no texto transcrito da audiodescrição e do áudio original do curta-metragem. Por outro lado, observou-se que o texto da audiodescrição possui poucas unidades lexicais que evocam frames herdeiros de Estado e que são relacionadas às emoções dos personagens, mostrando tendência para linguagem mais neutra.

“…AD has been defined as an intermodal audiovisual translation service that primarily helps people with sight loss along with other secondary audiences understand and enjoy an original audiovisual product by translating the visual and aural elements otherwise inaccessible into a verbal commentary (Holsanova 2022;Vercauteren 2022). Several aspects of AD have been and continue to be studied such as the production process (Benecke 2004;Holland 2009;Bardini 2020), the reception of AD (Ramos 2015;Walczak and Fryer 2017), the combination of AD with other services (Braun and Orero 2010) and, importantly for the purposes of our paper, content selection (Vercauteren 2012;Remael, Reviers and Vercauteren 2015), AD style (Orero and Vilaró 2012;Bardini 2017) and the collaboration of creators and audio describers (Udo and Fels 2009;Udo and Fels 2010a;).…”

Intersectional feminist translation provides visibility to the historically hidden or marginalized characters and narratives. This article interrogates the strategies we can apply to translate images into words, that is, to audio describe non-normative identities while adhering to the particularities of audiovisual productions. It poses the question of how to provide a feminist audio description that aligns with the creators’ intent. The objective of this study is to analyse the strategies applied to create a gender-conscious AD of a documentary on lesbophobia where ten women share their experiences as non-normative persons. They are defined by a series of intrinsic features such as race, gender expression or age and present a myriad of differences that have irremediably influenced their experience of lesbophobia and how society reads and identifies them. The visual contents in this documentary provide essential information that complements the understanding of the problem by people with visual impairment. This action research study analyses the challenges emerged during the AD production. It aims to emphasize the mediating power of AD professionals and how they influence the understanding of blind audiences.
