Análise das normatizações orientadoras dos vídeo-registros de gênero acadêmico em língua brasileira de sinais

Abstract

There are different forms, such as writing and video, that can be used to record information, especially with the support possibilities that new technologies present to facilitate and qualify the reception and dissemination of information to deaf individuals. Videos produced by deaf individuals are important forms of recording for both this community and the general community. With the expansion of undergraduate courses in Libras Language and the increasing number of deaf individuals entering graduate programs, there is a clear concern for the dissemination of knowledge produced in scientific research in Libras, which serves as references for future consultations, considering that the production of new knowledge relies on research published in formal channels. The general objective of this research was to analyze the production and use of normatizations that regulate video-records of academic genre in Libras, seeking to answer what elements would be present in the normatizations of vídeo-records in Libras for scientific works that would enhance the comprehension of signed text. In this research, a comparative study of existing normatizations in Brazil from the Federal University of Santa Catarina and the National Institute of Deaf Education was conducted. The adequacy of these two normatizations was analyzed based on the opinion of deaf individuals regarding academic texts in Libras. The data collection involved the participation of 21 collaborators with university and post-graduate training, all of whom were deaf and conducted the analysis of academic texts in Libras. The interviewees evaluated selected elements, which are: background and lighting; attire; filming position; title, author/translator; abstract; main signs; abstract; citations; footer; and time/article size, from both sets of normatizations, to contribute to the enhancement of these norms. The following results were recorded: a) preference for a gray background in the videos; b) for attire, indications were for black color in the case of long texts, blue color for sections, and red color for citations; c) regarding the footer, the interviewees suggested using a blue shirt to indicate the footer number and a black shirt for long footer text. Based on the suggestions of the interviewees, the only change to be made in the normatization of the Federal University of Santa Catarina refers to the use of a gray background, as is done by the National Institute of Deaf Education. The interviewees felt comfortable with most of the rules established by the Federal University of Santa Catarina.
