Description
As media accessibility (MA) reaches maturity within the field of audiovisual translation research, it pushes the boundaries of the discipline, infuses solid interdisciplinary methodologies and, perhaps most significantly, it moves away from traditional notions of access, generally centered on barriers and a sense of loss towards more inclusive models, theories and practices. Over the past ten years or so, research on MA has indeed blossomed (Bogucki/Deckert 2020), also by virtue of its being a field of investigation where interaction between research and practice is a regular and mutually beneficial feature. And as the practice of accessibility to media and the arts is becoming more and more inclusive, with a thrust towards collaboration between disabled and non-disabled persons in the planning, management, production and enjoyment of performances, exhibitions and media content, research seems to have moved along similar lines. Notions of participatory accessibility (Di Giovanni 2018), universal accessibility (Remael/Reviers 2019), coaccessibility (Okyayuz/Kaya 2020) and creative media access (Romero-Fresco 2021) all lay emphasis on collaborative processes and practices at all levels.
In the light of the above, this special issue aims at exploring collaborative and participatory notions of accessibility, from a theoretical, methodological and practical viewpoint. Articles reporting on practical activities shall nonetheless be underpinned by a solid, theoretical apparatus. Interdisciplinary approaches are welcome as long as they are well-grounded and extensively applied.
