Book Synopsis Understanding Deaf Culture by : Paddy Ladd

Download or read book Understanding Deaf Culture written by Paddy Ladd and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2003 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text presents a Traveller's Guide to deaf culture, starting from the premise that deaf cultures have an important contribution to make to other academic disciplines, and human lives in general. Within and outside deaf communities, there is a need for an account of the new concept of deaf culture, which enables readers to assess its place alongside work on other minority cultures and multilingual discourses. The book aims to assess the concepts of culture, on their own terms and in their many guises and to apply these to deaf communities. The author illustrates the pitfalls which have been created for those communities by the medical concept of deafness and contrasts this with his new concept of deafhood, a process by which every deaf child, family and adult implicitly explains their existance in the world to themselves and each other.
