A Mythology of the Deaf Experience

03.08.01 - Aris the Philospher

27th Clip. Title: Aris the Philosopher. 7:06 minutes long. Total: 2:31:46 hours

Posted with the vision that there will appear a distinguished lyceum of the Best and the Brightest of deaf and hearing ASL artists to meet and raise notches up in the artistry of ASL literature with originals and translations.

Can the Deaf Child learn to read, write, and speak? Let’s see what the philosopher Aris has to say. Click away . . .

Deaf history commentary: In the timeline of the myth, chapter three (Yairusaylim) is when we began to have preserved or handed down information about the deaf in the past. The first two chapters of the DC myth belong to the primaevel mist of time. The third chapter is less murky with some information from humanity’s sacred literatures. The Bible, Koran, Scriptures, and the Talmud - before Greece and Rome in the next clip, 03.09.

To viewers, You may notice the fluctuations of commentaries in the past clips/posts. In my filing cabinet, there s writing and art work from myself and high school/university students who used this myth to study deaf history and deaf studies. I would love to retype or scan them and insert them in each post with corresponding clips. With a full time job and a family to attend to, there is not enough time to work on my blogs. Bear with me and the myth. With Father time, eventually the myth will be all posted, done sometimes in mid to late 2008. I hope to post the last clip of chapter 11 (when it is the Present) during the protest at Milwaukee. We will see. Thank you for your time here. Happy New Year.

  1. CK, You are just the MASTER STORYTELLER! The descriptions you gave of the places where the father goes, the buildings, etc., were ornate. I could see them clearly. The color, the shape and the size, the details. Your use of classifiers and facial expressions are CHAMP!

  2. That’s cool Any person, who has a good knowledge of history, will much enjoy the story. Yes It’s sad story that the father of a deaf child has been searched for the best education method. Unfortunately. I believe that he met Aris, a wrong advisor that happened to be the useless philosopher at the Hellenistic temple.

    Hope the father will meet Socr, the great philosopher. Without my doubt, Socr can solve the problem so easily

    Hi D. view what happen in the next clip to the temple of Aris. ck
