Tietoa tästä e-kirjasta

""Deaf Culture Dynamics"" explores the multifaceted world of Deaf communities, highlighting that these vibrant cultures are shaped by shared language, social practices, and a strong sense of identity. The book emphasizes that sign languages are not mere gestures but fully developed languages crucial to Deaf identity and community. Readers will gain insights into the historical struggles and triumphs of Deaf advocacy movements, including the impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on linguistic rights and accessibility. This book uniquely presents Deaf cultures not as a consequence of hearing loss, but as dynamic social entities with distinct values and artistic expressions. It contrasts exclusionary oralist methods in education with inclusive bilingual-bicultural approaches, examining their impact on Deaf individuals. By integrating linguistic, historical, and sociological analyses, the book offers a holistic understanding of Deaf communities, drawing on empirical research and personal narratives. The book is structured into three parts, beginning with core concepts of Deaf identity and community formation, then analyzing historical advocacy movements, and finally exploring contemporary issues such as cochlear implantation and globalization. It connects to fields like sociolinguistics and disability studies, providing valuable knowledge for educators, policymakers, and anyone interacting with Deaf individuals.
