Description
As media accessibility (MA) reaches maturity within the field of
audiovisual translation research, it pushes the boundaries of the
discipline, infuses solid interdisciplinary methodologies and, perhaps
most significantly, it moves away from traditional notions of access,
generally centered on barriers and a sense of loss towards more
inclusive models, theories and practices. Over the past ten years or
so, research on MA has indeed blossomed (Bogucki/Deckert 2020), also
by virtue of its being a field of investigation where interaction
between research and practice is a regular and mutually beneficial
feature. And as the practice of accessibility to media and the arts is
becoming more and more inclusive, with a thrust towards collaboration
between disabled and non-disabled persons in the planning, management,
production and enjoyment of performances, exhibitions and media
content, research seems to have moved along similar lines. Notions of
participatory accessibility (Di Giovanni 2018), universal
accessibility (Remael/Reviers 2019), coaccessibility (Okyayuz/Kaya
2020) and creative media access (Romero-Fresco 2021) all lay emphasis
on collaborative processes and practices at all levels.

In light of the above, this special issue aims at exploring
collaborative and participatory notions of accessibility, from a
theoretical, methodological and practical viewpoint. Articles
reporting on practical activities shall nonetheless be underpinned by
a solid, theoretical apparatus. Interdisciplinary approaches are
welcome as long as they are well-grounded and extensively applied.

Articles can cover the following topics:
- Integrated or participatory access to audiovisual media, museums and
galleries, and live performance
- Users and artists as content creators
- Theories of access gain
- Open access practices
- Accommodating versus Transformative approaches
- Access as Conversation
- Technical solutions to MA
- Workflow transformations
- Access aesthetics
