This book traces the development of audio description (AD), a form
of audiovisual translation delivered orally or consumed aurally
that makes visual elements accessible primarily to people who are
visually impaired, and in particular, art AD as an emergent
sub-genre. Perego reflects on the static arts and the role of
modern museums as key sites for art AD and multisensory
environments that create memorable experiences for visitors. Based
on professional, pre-recorded British and American English AD
scripts, this book outlines the textual and linguistic features of
art AD and its most relevant textual patterns. It explores diverse
AD practices across different contexts, including stand-alone ADs
for specific paintings and sculptures that can be consumed
independently to enhance the appeal and accessibility of cultural
environments. Moreover, the book investigates AD tours, which
provide descriptions of a selection of interconnected artworks
while also assisting, through focused instructions, visually
impaired individuals in navigating the museum space, as well as
touch tours, which incorporate procedural instructions on how to
experience three-dimensional art or reproductions through tactile
senses. Offering unique insights and future research directions for
this growing area, this volume will be of interest to students and
scholars in translation studies and media accessibility.
