| Summary: | Visually differently abled people have a different way of perceiving and
interpreting reality. Instead of seeing with their eyes, they understand everything
by touch, sound and/or smell. Nonetheless modern times is now filled with visual
signs, immediately excluding them as incapable people, alias disabled. Their
relationship with their direct environment has often become unequal. The
appearance of short text messages services featuring voice, commonly in use since
a few years, has more or less changed this situation. Visually differently abled
people have bigger opportunities to exchange information.
This thesis tries to examine how their social relationships (mediatization) have
changed since the appearance of short text messages featuring voice. According to
the views of Stig Hjarvard (2006, 2008) regarding mediatization on the micro and
macro level, this thesis uses the concepts of on the stage and backstage of Erving
Goffman in order to discover the dynamic interactions on the micro level. Whilst
on the macro level this thesis borrows two concepts of Pierre Bourdieu, that is
heteronomous/ autonomous and the concept of meta-capital. Finally in the last
part the virtualization of institutions as an effect of mediatization will be
explained. There domestication and de-terrorization take place and a new
geography appears connecting to globalization/ localization. To support all this a
new ethnographic approach was used by holding a theatre for development
workshop with seven visually differently abled people already accostumed to
using short text messages featuring voice.
This research concludes that by the use of short message services featuring voice
visually differently abled people are currently on a road without light. They have
lost the �light� to see �clearly� the reality of today�s world, because they have lost
the touch and the sound of the real world, through the appearance of a reading
machine that features a voice. Yet, on the other hand, together with the power of
these short text messages featuring voice they are planning to move to a better
situation. A situation of inclusion where there is no discrimination. |
