User-centric research in media accessibility
Matamala, Anna (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Transmedia Catalonia Research Group)

Data: 2021
Resum: Research on translation can be approached from a myriad of perspectives, depending on where the emphasis is put: product, process, participants or context-oriented investigations are the four broad categories identified by Saldanha and O'Brien (2013). TransMedia Catalonia research group has a long history of media accessibility projects where "participants" are at the center of the research, following the "Nothing about us without us" principle in accessibility. When developing new tools, a user-centric iterative methodology is generally followed: user requirements are gathered and implemented, and the resulting product is tested in terms of usability. This is the case of the ImAc project. When developing new strategies for certain access services (such as audio description or audio subtitling), alternative solutions are tested with end users through different experimental designs. This is the case of the NEA and RAD projects. When proposing new innovative approaches to media accessibility, users are involved in discussion groups and interviews to assess the feasibility of these new approaches. This is the case of the EASIT project. The aim of this presentation is to discuss how user-centric methodologies have been implemented and can be implemented in media accessibility projects, highlighting the pros and cons of different methodological tools. At the end of my presentation, I will open the lens to discuss new participatory-approaches to research inspired by the TRACTION project. I will also stress the need to share research through networks such as ALMA or LEAD-ME and through platforms such as MAP.
