Artistic Discourse Through Sign Language and Interpretation in Poetic Art

Abstract

This paper corresponds to a personal experience through social and communicative discourse to investigate human communication and its linguistic treatment in contemporary art, as well as a social and artistic system that uses poetic creativity to create a set of discussions about artworks. The artistic discourse involves creating interpretations related to intertextuality and the communicative act through the dialogical and independent space of the artwork. The purpose is to propose the integration of a series of interdisciplinary projects that incorporate original video art and video performance works, making initiatives more flexible to create (and recreate) innovative artistic experiences for the Deaf community and sign language interpreters by involving the projects, depending on the commitment to the cultural accessibility of the art content for diverse audiences. The linguistic treatment of bilingual speech to develop verbal communication (oral and sounds) and non-verbal (gesture-visual and soundless) communication, that is, regardless of the use of speech, both the verbal communication of hearing people and the non-verbal communication of Deaf people to generate a public act; as well as the argumentative structure to incorporate poetic art and different cultural interpretations through the use of sign language in various countries. In conclusion, much remains to be done to achieve a complete contextual understanding of these works within the scope of contemporary art remains a fundamental challenge.
