Signs on Screen: Language, Culture and Power in Sign Language Cinema

该项目旨在发现当代屏幕如何表现耳聋，以及手语电影如何过滤聋人和非残疾人的观点。与聋人连接和国家电影和声音档案馆合作，该项目预计将提供一个跨国，跨学科的框架，分析聋人的语言和文化在屏幕上的完整性和赋权。预期成果包括新兴聋人学者的能力建设，电影和语言研究的包容性创新以及聋人/听力对话和凝聚力的新机会。这应该会带来多种好处，例如增加聋人的福祉，提高利用屏幕文化的能力，以支持和反映聋人经验的多样性。

This project aims to discover how contemporary screens represent deafness and how sign language cinema filters Deaf and non-ableist perspectives. Partnering with Deaf Connect and the National Film and Sound Archive, this project expects to provide a transnational, transdisciplinary framework for analysing Deaf language and culture on screen in terms of completeness and empowerment. Expected outcomes include capacity building for emerging Deaf scholars, inclusive innovations in film and language studies and new opportunities for Deaf/hearing dialogue and cohesion. This should lead to diverse benefits such as increased Deaf wellbeing and enhanced capacity to harness screen cultures to support and reflect the diversity of Deaf experience.
