Uma proposta de legendagem para o espetáculo Miralu e a luneta encantada

Abstract

Subtitling for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to the theater field is still little explored in our country. Aiming, therefore, to insert the deaf community in the audiovisual media, this work was written with the general aim of proposing a Deaf and Hard of Hearing Subtitle for the children's theater show Miralu e a Luneta Encantada. The specific objective is to observe some factors that cause the need to apply textual reduction strategies in the elaboration of the mentioned subtitles. The methodology applied for the elaboration of the subtitles was based on the research and studies that have been developed by the LEAD group (Legendagem e Audiodescrição) from the Ceará State University (UECE), on the main considerations of Araújo (2004, 2006, 2008, 2012 ), Assis (2016) and Nascimento (2018, 2013), as well as the parameters brought by the Guia para Produções Audiovisuais Acessíveis (ARAÚJO; CHAVES, 2016). The results obtained in this research showed that factors such as the identification of speakers and the speed of dialogues often lead to the need to reduce the lenght of the subtitles. However, tests are needed to prove the effectiveness of the textual reduction strategies used. We could observe with this work that the forms of reduction and textual omission are important to produce appropriated subtitles to the reading time of the target viewer, thus contributing to the appreciation of audiovisual products as a whole.
