Mediação audiodescritiva e percursos narrativos em Sharasōju, de Naomi Kawase

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the film Sharasōju (2003), by contemporary Japanese director Naomi Kawase, through the process of constructing the audio description script for the work. This study method is based on the close relationship between film analysis and the production of the film's audio description script. It highlights the pact work of a duo audio describer scripters (seer) and consultants (visually impaired audio describers professionals). In this exercise of expanding access to cinematographic language, audio descriptive mediation exposes narrative paths and provokes a subjective experience beyond the oculocentric paradigm. This research also reinforces female representation in the arts and exposes the researcher's identification with Kawase's cinematography. The challenging choice of Sharasōju as the object of analysis is justified by the exercise of developing new concepts, such as fluidificated realism, and to reaffirm the relevance of the work in the panorama of contemporary cinema, especially as an example of cinema of flux. In the field of languages and audio description, it is based on: Flusser; Motta; Mayer; Snyder; Tavares; Menezes; among others. In the field of cinema, it is based on: Bordwell and Thompson; Elsaesser and Hagener; Maia and Mourão; Mello; Oliveira Jr.; Novielli; Maciel; Martin; Machado.
