- Summary
- Cochlear implants, mainstreaming, genetic engineering, and other ethical dilemmas confronting deaf people mandated a new, wide-ranging examination of these issues. This collection addresses all of the factors now changing the cultural landscape for deaf people. "Signs and Voices" is divided into three sections -- Culture and Identity, Language and Literacy, and American Sign Language in the Arts -- each of which focuses on a particular set of theoretical and practical concerns. The book also includes a DVD that presents many of the performances from the Arts section. Taken together, these essays and DVD point to new directions in a broad range of fields, including cognitive science, deaf studies, disability studies, education, linguistics, literary criticism, philosophy, and psychology. This extraordinary showcase of cross-disciplinary study will prove invaluable to everyone interested in the current state of the Deaf community. -- From publisher's description.
