3. Questions regarding videos
1. Deaf West Theatre Clip 1
Food for thought -- What differences do you see with visual and verbal theatrical experiences?
The use of sign language probably affects the blocking of the play – the audience always needs so see the face and hands of the person who is speaking. The chorus singing and signing was an interesting image. Their faces were all crammed into one small space and they were all signing together. There also has to be a good sense of rhythm so that everyone can be in sync while signing. Another thing I wonder about is when the actors talk over each other, or have lines in a song that overlap but are different words. What is it like to receive linguistic information that way?
2. Marlee Matlin Dancing with the Stars:
Food for thought -- what is the difference between hearing and feeling music?
Both hearing and feeling music have to do with receiving the vibrations of the music. You wouldn’t be able to hear the melodies and harmonies, presumably, but the rhythm and pulse of the vibrations would convey sentiment and meaning without the other bits.
3.
Food for thought -- who decides what education curriculum looks like and for whom?
School officials from state and local governments decide educational curriculum for all students. In some places, like
5. Deafnews.com
Food for thought -- who decides who delivers the news and how it is delivered and who owns the means in doing so?
Large media conglomerates monopolize the news, as far as traditional media and media derived from them (e.g. wire services available online). With the advent of the internet, however, the dispersion of information and opinions is slowly becoming democratic, although there are issues of access and education when it comes to the internet. Outlets like Deafnews.com are becoming more common, and the news can be presented in ASL and it can be accessed by a larger portion of the population than if it were broadcast on local television.
6. Lucky
Food for thought -- what are the differences in what you feel when you see or hear music lyrics on paper, then performed in auditory ways, then performed in a way that is visual? Do your senses react differently to these modes of delivery?
I perceive more expression when the song is sung than when I see the lyrics written. The ASL interpretation is also very expressive, by virtue of how the language is formed, with facial expressions and body posture, etc. There is even a more holistic expressiveness in the ASL interpretation, at least when paired with the music, because I am hearing it and seeing it in very expressive ways.
7. A 1 year old hearing Baby Signing
Food for thought -- how is this baby not silenced by knowing this language? Is 'silence' necessarily something you don't hear? How about privilege and oppression notions -- how do these apply here?
One major reason that she is not silenced is that the signs are associated with English as verbal language. But apart from that, she has a way to communicate before her spoken/verbal skills are developed. Silence is not about sound or noise or speaking, but expression and communication. When we think that “a voice” is only spoken, then those who communicate in other ways are disenfranchised.
8. MSSD
Food for thought -- are verbal ways of delivering instructional content the only ways of delivering information? This location offers the same degrees as any other university, but all the classes are taught visually with ASL.
MSSD demonstrates that students can be successful academically while learning with ASL and other forms of visual communication. Students at MSSD excel in non-traditional learning situations as well, like internships and science study trips.
9. Tour of Gallaudet and/or Car Tour of Gallaudet and/or ASL VLOG Tour Gallaudet
Food for thought -- are verbal ways of delivering instructional content the only ways of delivering information? This location offers the same degrees as any other university, but all the classes are taught visually with ASL.
The campus is just like any college campus. There is nothing that differentiates it from another campus except that its curriculum is delivered in ASL. Students are given the same academic opportunities as students who speak English verbally.
10. The
Food for thought -- What can you say about face, body, hand shape, hand movement, hand placement in this video and or in any other video viewed so far on this page?
All of these things work together to provide the same kind of differentiations in tone and meaning that the voice expresses with speed of speech, tone of voice, volume, etc. With his body and hands, the man in this video can give nuanced meaning to the story, expressing the calm and peaceful bird, the large burly man, the scared animals at the beginning, and the movement of the land as the man walks into the forest.
I love this song because it is strong and passionate, and the way this young man interprets really brings that out, especially in the chorus where the song basically just repeats the line “I can see your halo.” His interpretation is very musical.
__ 5. Library Research, MLA reference needed
1. In this article, the author writes, “Writers of mainstream American literature that includes deaf characters are mostly hearing. The writers develop their notions of deaf people’s experience with sound based on their constructions of sound, deafness, and deaf people” (552). Another interesting finding about Deaf literature is the way that authors write synesthesically: “In American Deaf literature, synesthesia is the use of other senses to represent sound. The representations consist of substituted-sense images of sound. The substituted senses of sound are sound as sight and touch” (558).
