DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING PEOPLE AS AWARE RECIPIENTS AND CREATORS OF THE CULTURAL OFFER
View through CrossRef
The article attempts to approach the subject
of making culture accessible for people with hearing
impairment from the perspective including social, cultural
and linguistic issues. The most important matters discussed
in the first part of the article are: history of the sign language
and the Deaf culture in Poland as well as ambiguities related
to communication methods, i.e. differentiating between the
sign language and the manual code for spoken language.
Based upon the considerations above, the following issues
are presented: the role of a sign language interpreter in
the process of making culture accessible, and the role
of Polish language as an uncertain medium of conveying
information to people with hearing impairment. In the
article, theoretical considerations alternate with practical
guidelines and solutions, which might facilitate the process
of creating an offer for this particular type of museum
visitor. The concluding part contains a list of the most
interesting projects being conducted in Poland, which might
be valuable as an inspiration for beginners in organising
events dedicated to the deaf and hard of hearing people.
