Download or read book The Lost Shared Signing Community of Lantz Mills and Shenandoah County Virginia written by Kathleen L. Brockway and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This individual booklet (3.26.2022) will later turn into a Chapter (2023) will introduce viewers to oral interviews, signed narratives, and historical artifacts of the lost shared signing community of Lantz Mills and Shenandoah County, Virginia between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Perhaps the best known American historical shared signing community was made popular by Nora Groce in her 1985 work, Everyone Here Spoke Sign Language: Hereditary Deafness on Martha's Vineyard. Numerous references demonstrate that deaf and hearing townspeople communicated and understood a common sign language in the Massachusetts island colony. For years, historians, writers, and the deaf community have assumed that the Martha's Vineyard confluence was a singular event. The unearthing of these Lantz Mills community stories, however, excavates yet another unique space where community members utilized a visual language and affordances to thrive as a collective. Deaf citizens of the Lantz Mills area played an important and unique role in the life and economy of the community. The documentation and narratives surrounding this endangered 'shared signing community' (McKay-Cody, 2019) are not only important to American deaf communities, but also serve as an important - and initial - chapter in the story of deaf residents in Shenandoah County. There are more stories and details and artifacts to share.

Download or read book Deaf History Unveiled written by John V. Van Cleve and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deaf History Unveiled travels from a monastery, in 16th-century Spain to banquets planned by and for Deaf people in 19th-century France, from the presses of a once-activist school newspaper in pre-Depression New Jersey to the founders & deaf education in Russia to the present. Readers will discover the new themes driving Deaf history, including a telling comparison of the similarities in experience among Deaf people and African Americans, both minorities with identifying characteristics that cannot be hidden to thwart bias. The paternalism of hearing societies resounds in separate studies of deaf education and the opportunities afforded deaf people in the United States, Italy, and Hungary. Adding to its intrigue, the new research in this outstanding volume provides evidence for the previously uncredited self-determination of Deaf people in establishing education, employment, and social structures common through-out the Northern hemisphere.

Download or read book Words Made Flesh written by R. A. R. Edwards and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 fuelled 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 1850s, 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.
