short summary of some of Dr. Bienvenu’s points during her keynote address “Expedition for a (Deaf) Theory” at the Deaf Studies Conference at Utah Valley University on April 11, 2008
Books by bell hooks
books by Tove Skutnabb-Kangas
Ella Mae Lentz vlogged re: the Deaf-mute as the gravitational force for Deaf culture - might be worth a viewing to see if it links up with MJ’s Deaf-Mute Theory of Visual Beings
MJ’s presentation reminded me of my friend’s favorite quote from Agatha Tiegel Hanson’s speech re: Deaf women and a noble hunger:
“She herself is too strongly impelled by a noble hunger for something better than she has known, too highly inspired by the vista of the glorious future, not to rise with determination and might and move on till all barriers crumble and fall.” (Hanson, 1893)
I believe there is a growing hunger in the land for a more thorough understanding of what it means to be “people of the eye.”
Pls share your thoughts, additions, corrections, questions, etc
I know i have not done Dr. Bienvenu justice with this very very brief summary
