Resumo: Three common strategies for providing the visually disabled with access to plastic arts are analyzed: adapting works of art via raised-line techniques, using representational textures and selecting sculptures. We draw upon studies in the cognitive psychology of touch (such as GIBSON, 1962; LEDERMAN, 1997; HATWELL; MARTINEZ-SAROCCHI, 2000), in order to discuss both the adequacy of these strategies vis-à-vis the modality of touch and their aesthetic reach. We show that most "tactile versions" are by no means tactile: by ignoring both the cognitive properties and the expressive dimension of touch, they end up reproducing visual standards. We suggest that access to the plastic arts should be understood in terms of the invention of a truly tactile aesthetics.Keywords: visual disability; tactile perception; aesthetic experience; plastic arts.

Neste artigo, propomos uma análise crítica de três das estratégias mais comuns de se fornecer acesso às artes plásticas para deficientes visuais: adaptação das obras pela via do alto-relevo, uso representacional de texturas e disponibilização de esculturas para o toque. A discussão é feita em torno de dois eixos: questionamos a adequação destas peças oferecidas à modalidade tátil, de um lado, e sua capacidade de evocar experiências estéticas, de outro. Para tanto, lançamos mão de estudos de psicologia cognitiva sobre percepção tátil. Nossa análise revela que as “versões táteis” geralmente oferecidas aos deficientes visuais nada possuem de tátil. Na esfera estética como na recognitiva, tais adaptações, desconhecendo as propriedades cognitivas e a dimensão expressiva do tato, acabam por reproduzir padrões visuais. Propomos, ao final, que o problema de se fornecer acesso às artes plásticas visuais deve ser recolocado em termos da invenção de uma estética verdadeiramente tátil.ABEC2010-05-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractal/article/view/4781Fractal: Journal of Psychology; Vol. 22 No. 1 (2010); 85-100Fractal: Revista de Psicologia; v. 22 n. 1 (2010); 85-1001984-0292reponame:Fractal : Revista de Psicologiainstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractal/article/view/4781/4605Copyright (c) 2018 Fractalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlmeida, Maria Clara deCarijó, Filipe HerkenhoffKastrup, Virgínia2018-06-05T11:59:22Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/4781Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractalPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractal/oai||anaclmonteiro@yahoo.com.br|| mlivianascimento@gmail.com1984-02921984-0292opendoar:2018-06-05T11:59:22Fractal : Revista de Psicologia - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
