Uma análise da segmentação das legendas do filme Harry Potter e as Relíquias da Morte Parte II: a acessibilidade para surdos e ensurdecidos

Abstract

With the advancement of technology increasingly present in our lives, translation has become more and more visible, often representing a breakdown of linguistic and social barriers. Among the various types of translation, the so-called audiovisual translation (or AVT) makes audiovisual products accessible to those who do not know their original language and / or those who have difficulty hearing it. Subtitles for listeners can be considered a form of accessibility -- if this accessibility can sometimes also be extended to the deaf and hearing impaired is the main goal of the present work. Based on the analysis of linguistic segmentation in the subtitles for listeners of Harry Potter film and the Deathly Hallows - Part II, we intend to investigate whether they can also be appropriate for the deaf and the hearing impaired in the absence of specific subtitling for this audience. To that end, we base our study on the discussions and parameters proposed by Gambier (2002 and 2003), Díaz Cintas (2005, 2007 and 2009) and Araújo (2008, 2012, 2013, 2014), especially on the notion suggested by Araújo that, when well-segmented, movie subtitles promote effective reception of an audiovisual product.
