Performativität von Emotionen in der Audiodeskription von Werken der bildenden Kunst
Performativity of Emotions in the Audio Description of Works of Fine Art

Summary/Abstract: Audio description as a service in favor of blind persons consists in the audial description of visual content of a film production or a painting. It represents an intersemiotical variety of audiovisual translation, but is still underrepresented in research literature. The quality analysis of the audio description by the Landesmuseum Mainz shows that it implements the aesthetics of the performativity. Blind art recipients are moved through language to perform certain actions, with their perception of art embedded in a particular (time) space. Such an intervention may indicate that the audio description becomes an extraordinary staging.
