Abstract

Access to information is a right that should not be limited by the fact of not being a member of a linguistic majority. The Deaf, as a community characterized by having its own language and culture, suffer this situation because they do not have the same access that hearing people have to what is communicated by the media such as open signal television. This phenomenon was investigated from the point of view of its own actors in order to be able to raise coherent proposals that satisfy their needs. In this sense, a research was proposed with the purpose of knowing the perception of members of the Peruvian deaf community about the interpretation in Peruvian Sign Language (PSL) in open signal television channels in Peru. It was a qualitative study of ethnographic design in which Peruvian Deaf people participated. Group interviews were conducted with the presence of an interpreter known to all interviewees. The results show that the Deaf perceive that there are deficiencies in terms of the number of interpreters and the space dedicated to them on screen. The Deaf experience a feeling of isolation and mockery at the small number of programs that are interpreted and at the appointment of interpreters who do not adequately convey the information. Similarly, they feel that interpreters should be better trained in linguistic diversity and in the use of classifiers and spacing. Based on the findings and their interpretation, the researchers make some final considerations to promote good practices aimed at reducing the gap in access to information for the Peruvian Deaf, based on inclusion and equity.

Fair use of a copyrighted work, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing. Thus, we view the inclusion of “quotations” from existing print, visual, audio and audio-visual texts to be appropriate examples of Fair Use, as are reproductions of visual images for the purpose of scholarly analysis. We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
