A produção audiovisual no contexto da surdez: discutindo parâmetros e consultoria

Abstract

In order for the deaf person to have free access to knowledge and to fully develop all its potentialities, it is necessary to guarantee accessibility in sign language (in Brazil, Brazilian Sign Language - Libras), which is considered by Law nº 10.436 / 2002 and Decree nº 5.626 / 2005 the mother tongue (first language) of the deaf person. Thus, the aim of this research was to analyze the accessibility for deaf people in a documentary, considering the parameters of the area and the deaf consultancy, the interpretation and translation in Libras and the subtitling for the deaf and deafened people, from a study of reception with representatives of the deaf community. The research is qualified as part of the case study of the qualitative and interpretative approach (qualitative-interpretative). The methodological procedures were: analysis of the video documentary “No Mato das Mangabeiras”, considering accessibility in Libras and subtitling; investigation of the parameters of Translation / Interpretation in Libras and subtitling with representatives of the deaf community, through the composition of a focus group; systematization of the reception of the documentary, in which thirteen deaf subjects watched a video documentary with subtitles for deaf and deafened people and the Libras window; data building from the proposition of two questionnaires, both in the first and the last meeting, with different questions to better understand in our research the role of the deaf consultant. Thus, this type of research may allow the object of study, translation and interpretation in Libras and subtitling for the deaf and deafened people in the audiovisual, to be investigated in an interpretative way and close to a set of real facts that underlie the context of accessibility of audiovisual resources for deaf people. The results revealed the importance of deaf consulting in audiovisual, as the deaf consultant can guide, together with other accessibility professionals, the improvement of the parameters of the Libras window and subtitling, as well as working with terminology with the translation and interpretation in Libras. However, further studies on deaf consulting in other areas in Libras and reflections on accessibility for deaf people are necessary to ensure the quality of translation and interpretation in Libras.
