Meeting Description:
The UN Convention on the Rights of People with
Disabilities, and the EU Charter of Fundamental
Rights receiving it, confirm access to
information and education as basic human
rights. However, still over 50 million of deaf
and hard-of-hearing Europeans are deprived of
basic human rights simply because they cannot
hear TV programs, cinema films, theatre plays
or web broadcasts.
In order to cope with this problem, the purpose
of the panel is to gather scholars,
professionals, and experts around the main
theme of subtitling for the deaf and the
hard-of-hearing (SDH). In particular, the foci
of the IPrA panel, to be addressed from the
point of view of the producer (broadcasters,
access services, subtitlers…); of the target
audience (deaf, hard-of-hearing, foreign
people); and of the researcher, will be on
Multimodality:
- How are subtitles structured within the
audiovisual context they are added to?
- What is the contribution of SDH to the global
meaning of the audiovisual product?
- Which technical features are used to ensure
global understanding?
- How reformulation compensates with the loss
of oral features?
and on Accessibility:
- How do subtitles function for their
audience?
- How readable are SDH within the framework of
the audiovisual product they are part of?
- How differently foreign and deaf or
Hard-of-Hearing people react to the same
SDH?
- How is technology and automatic subtitling
helping accessibility?
- How can subtitles be re-used for educational
purposes?
