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

本项目旨在探索当代屏幕如何表现聋人，以及手语电影如何过滤聋人和非残疾人士的视角。与聋人连接和国家电影和声音档案馆合作，该项目希望提供一个跨国的，跨学科的框架，从完整性和赋权的角度分析屏幕上的聋人语言和文化。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。这将带来多种好处，例如增加聋人的福祉，增强利用屏幕文化支持和反映聋人体验多样性的能力。

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.
