Avaliação da acessibilidade estética de imagens fotojornalísticas

Abstract

Based on the understanding that access to information has contributed to guaranteeing citizens' rights, this research seeks to reinforce the need to enable people with visual impairments to access the denotative and connotative meanings present in photojournalistic images published on journalistic platforms. In this sense, it was verified the textual forms (alternative texts, subtitles, titles, subtitles and body of the matter) that accompany the photojournalistic images, contemplate the understanding of the aesthetic aspects of the respective photographs. To this end, the study started with a semiotic analysis of the photographs in the light of Barthesian concepts of denotation and connotation, as well as the processes of connotation (trick, pose, objects, syntax, aestheticism, photogenics) to then carry out an analysis of content, according to Bardin (2011), of the textual elements of the articles in order to identify absences, presences, convergences and divergences in relation to the meanings obtained in the analysis of the images.
