O fenômeno das lives no Brasil em tempos da COVID-19:

Abstract

In view of the popularization of lives in Brazil, as an internet phenomenon, amid the pandemic of the new coronavirus, this article aims to understand whether such lives are conquered to the needs and expectations of blind people. A qualitative and exploratory approach is adopted, through convenient non-statistics, in an inductive methodological path. For data collection, in addition to bibliographic investigations, a mixed questionnaire was used, with closed and open questions, which was generated online and, in the form of a link, sent to contacts who could answer it or direct it to possible respondents. As a result, audio description emerges as a pressing demand of people with visual blindness/impairment for communicative accessibility on the internet. Thus, it is recommended that the lives be conveyed by the inclusive logic of universal design for the forward towards a non-asymmetric, dialogical and inclusive communicative rationality, based on intersubjective understanding.
