Audio description is one of the many services available to
guarantee accessibility to audiovisual media. It describes and
narrates images and sounds and resulting audio is then mixed with
the original soundtrack. Audio description is a complex process
that touches production, distribution and reception. Researching
Audio Description: New Approachesgathers academic information and
data from the many existing research projects, practices, and
training across the world. The book has a telescopic approach, from
two introductory chapters where accessibility in general is
contextualised as a human right, and the basic concepts of
disability and impairment are explored. Research on specific
features for audio description script drafting are focused in the
second part of the book, with a view to revising existing funded
projects and their outcomes. The book offers a wealth of
information on both the practical and philosophical, from different
approaches in perception and cognition, and different research
methodologies. Project information contained in the contributions
identifies trends in current research-funded studies which will be
valuable as a pointer towards future proposals. The book shows the
dynamic state of audio description practice, training and research,
while contributing towards the growing critical mass needed in
building the field of accessibility studies.
