L'accessibilità culturale come strumento per i diritti umani di tutti

Abstract

In the past decades, accessibility has been the engine of a deep revolution that has radically modified and still modifies society. It is a revolution that intersects different topics and disciplines, producing a paradigm shift in the very idea of human being and of our relationships with others. A revolution that allows to design a new sense of society. Within this background, the text argues in favour of accessibility as a necessary instrument for the human rights of all, not only of persons with disabilities, and it applies this thesis to the cultural field. After introducing the role of accessibility within the debate on human rights, the text focuses on some key elements, such as the concept of "audiences with specific needs". It concludes with the proposal of a new instrument: the Extended Plan for Integrated Accessibility
