本文定性地分析了“聋人普遍主义”话语在两种常见的聋人实践：旅游和参与干预中传播的方式。认为主要位于北方的聋人研究学科没有充分研究聋人身体和话语是如何传播的，在跨国接触期间，在印度和加纳编制的民族志数据被用来研究“相同”和“差异”的主张是如何制定和协商的。同样，本文探讨了聋人个人和群体如何运用聋人“天堂”和“地狱”的概念来分析他们的旅行经历，并为干预辩护。我们认为，聋人旅行者和那些参与干预的人，主要来自北方国家，使用目的论的概念，他们试图强加给聋人的“其他人”。本文采用批判性的方法，论证了在聋人研究中开辟空间的重要性，以允许非北方概念脱颖而出。关键词：聋人，发展，普遍主义，话语，印度，加纳
This article qualitatively analyzes the ways that the discourse of "deaf universalism" circulates within two common deaf practices: tourism and engaging in interventions. Arguing that the largely Northern-situated discipline of Deaf Studies does not adequately examine how deaf bodies and discourses travel, ethnographic data compiled in India and Ghana during transnational encounters is employed to examine how claims of "sameness" and "difference" are enacted and negotiated. Similarly, this article examines how deaf individuals and groups deploy the concepts of deaf "heavens" and "hells" to analyze their travel experiences and justify interventions. We argue that deaf travelers and those engaging in interventions, mostly from Northern countries, employ teleological concepts that they attempt to impose on deaf "others." Adopting a critical approach, this article argues for the importance of carving out a space within Deaf Studies for allowing non-Northern concepts to come to the fore. Keywords: Deaf, Development, Universalism, Discourse, India, Ghana
