En savoir plus sur le livre

The book delves into the rich interplay between art and deaf culture in France, particularly following the French Revolution. It highlights how the era birthed a significant community of over one hundred deaf artists from the Institute for the Deaf in Paris, contributing to various art forms. However, as societal views shifted with Darwinism and eugenics, the deaf were marginalized and labeled as "savages." The narrative examines this exclusion and the pivotal role of visual culture in shaping perceptions of normalcy and abnormality.
