Abstract

This paper illustrates how, over the course of the last two centuries, the autonomous access of the visually impaired to reading material has expanded. The author coins the term “reading emancipation” to describe these processes. She illustrates it by referring to her own research involving in-depth interviews with the visually impaired readers regarding the use of various forms of books, such as books printed in Braille, talking books and e-books. The author also traces the historical background of the transformation of alternative book formats, from the development and spread of Braille code to digital books. The description of the evolution of book formats is set against the background of the transformations taking place in Europe with a strong emphasis on the impact of these transformations on Poland.

从盲文码到智能图书阅读器:技术作为视障人士阅读解放的工具
本文阐述了在过去的两个世纪中,视障人士自主获取阅读材料的途径是如何扩大的。作者创造了“阅读解放”一词来描述这些过程。她通过自己的研究来说明这一点,她深入采访了视力受损的读者,了解他们使用各种形式的书籍,比如盲文印刷的书籍、有声书和电子书。作者还追溯了从盲文的发展和传播到数字图书的替代图书格式转变的历史背景。书格式演变的描述是在欧洲发生的转变的背景下设置的,重点是这些转变对波兰的影响。
