During the early nineteenth century, schools for the deaf appeared in the United States for the first time. These schools were committed to the use of the sign language to educate deaf students. Manual education made the growth of the deaf community possible, for it gathered deaf people together in sizable numbers for the first time in American history. It also fueled the emergence of Deaf culture, as the schools became agents of cultural transformations. Just as the Deaf community began to be recognized as a minority culture, in the 1850's, a powerful movement arose to undo it, namely oral education. Advocates of oral education, deeply influenced by the writings of public school pioneer Horace Mann, argued that deaf students should stop signing and should start speaking in the hope that the Deaf community would be abandoned, and its language and culture would vanish. In this revisionist history, Words Made Flesh explores the educational battles of the nineteenth century from both hearing and deaf points of view. It places the growth of the Deaf community at the heart of the story of deaf education and explains how the unexpected emergence of Deafness provoked the pedagogical battles that dominated the field of deaf education in the nineteenth century, and still reverberate today.

Les sourds-muets, aujourd’hui rebaptisés « sourds » - ce qui n’est pas sans entraîner quelques confusions - ont été entièrement délaissés par les sciences sociales, qui ont cru sur parole le discours médical de la déficience et de sa réparation à tout prix. Ce discours, qui semble relever de l’évidence tant la surdimutité est un objet de scandale pour la pensée ordinaire, est pourtant historiquement daté : au xixe siècle, les sourds-muets étaient reconnus comme une catégorie anthropologique, avant que la langue des signes ne soit interdite pendant cent ans à partir de 1880 dans les instituts d’enseignement. Les sourds sont porteurs d’une radicale étrangeté. Pour eux, être sourd réfère moins à un déficit d’audition qu’à l’affiliation à un groupe linguistique et culturel. Symétriquement, l’entendant est moins celui qui est pourvu d’audition que l’autre culturel : celui qui, ne connaissant pas la langue des sourds, se méprend sur ce qu’ils sont. Un profond sentiment de complétude, incompréhensible pour les tenants de l’idéologie de la déficience, se fonde sur l’existence d’une langue qui, pour emprunter un canal différent de celui de toutes les autres langues humaines, n’en présente pas moins les mêmes fonctions et les mêmes richesses. « Les sourds, c’est comme ça » : telle est l’expression qui conclut fréquemment les récits, et qui a pour fonction de souligner ce qu’il y a d’unique dans l’expérience sourde du monde. Fidèle à sa vocation, qui est de décrire les productions collectives d’un groupe humain, telles qu’elles sont vécues et pensées par lui, l’ethnologue donne à voir l’autre côté du miroir. Lui aussi montre, à sa manière, que « les sourds, c’est comme ça ». Bilan de sept années d’enquête, ce livre vient infirmer les représentations communes de la surdimutité comme malheur individuel. Il la montre telle qu’elle est : une singularité qui a trouvé sa voie propre pour accéder à la symbolisation.

This work is a contribution to our understanding of relativization strategies and clefting in Italian Sign Language, and more broadly, to our understanding of these constructions in world languages by setting the discussion on the theories that have been proposed in the literature of spoken languages to derive the syntactic phenomena object of investigation.

"Contributions à la recherche sur les aspects psychosociaux de la surdité. L'approche historique et socio-anthropologique permet de rendre compte de la quête identitaire des sourds. Elles offrent également une relecture des représentations de la différence sourde, tant sur le plan de ses structures associatives que sur ses nouveaux modes d'appartenance".-- [Memento].

In this probing exploration of what it means to be deaf, Brenda Brueggemann goes beyond any simple notion of identity politics to explore the very nature of identity itself. Looking at a variety of cultural texts, she brings her fascination with borders and between-places to expose and enrich our understanding of how deafness embodies itself in the world, in the visual, and in language.Taking on the creation of the modern deaf subject, Brueggemann ranges from the intersections of gender and deafness in the work of photographers Mary and Frances Allen at the turn of the last century, to the state of the field of Deaf Studies at the beginning of our new century. She explores the power and potential of American Sign Language—wedged, as she sees it, between letter-bound language and visual ways of learning—and argues for a rhetorical approach and digital future for ASL literature.The narration of deaf lives through writing becomes a pivot around which to imagine how digital media and documentary can be used to convey deaf life stories. Finally, she expands our notion of diversity within the deaf identity itself, takes on the complex relationship between deaf and hearing people, and offers compelling illustrations of the intertwined, and sometimes knotted, nature of individual and collective identities within Deaf culture.
