Abstract

This study aims to analyze the available subtitles on Brazilian Television. Communication is a core process aspect of living in a society, that is, it means the socialization and interaction. A democratic society, with a social participation and emancipated individuals, is the ideal place for building up the basis of human rights. The main aspect which drives us forward is that there are few subtitles options, its low quality and accessibility which make them difficult to people deaf/hearing impairment to be well informed in an equal, autonomous way as a protagonist. The aim of this study was to develop a tool in order to help subtitles users to do their own assessment. It is a qualitative and quantitative study with an interdisciplinary aspect and a theoretical approach based on authors who discuss communication and language as a presupposition for the democracy , social participation and emancipation of the individual, such as Habermas with the Theory of Communicative Action and Bourdieu with the Economy of Linguistics exchanges, Bobbio with State, Government and Society, beside using theme authors whose discussion is about deaf , hearing impairment, inclusion, information technology and Communication in the Contemporaneity. Research was performed by bibliographic review, documents analysis, reception and panel study. Results showed there is no standard accessibility resource; only few subtitles meet the standard accessibility policies and the level of reception are distinct among deaf people, HI, and TV listeners. It is expected this study can contribute for improving subtitles tools for giving opportunity to users an equal access.
