Deafhood

Deafhood is a cool term, that gives great perspectives. Never read the book of Dr. Ladd, but will have to do because it have created so much stir.

I wonder if the term deafhood is more loaded to those who grew up mainstreamed, with most of them either accept the term totally or reject it. If I remember right, Paddy Ladd was mainstreamed, though I can be wrong.

Of course one can be audist without knowing it. One is not consciously aware of the many ways one is socialized to believe.:cool2:

To be accurate, getting a CI is a way of remediating lack of audiological input. Does nothing to address dealing with deafness as a holisitic condition.

What deaf militants are you referring to? Haven't seen on of those around these parts for several years.

Of course there is such a thing as hearinghood. Look around.

What is your define for womenhood, blackhood, and etc? And are they, words, silly, too?

It doesn't necessarily have to be "one or the other". One could still embrace the hearing world and still not necessarily perceive themselves as a "broken hearing person".

Who said YOU have to do perceive yourself as a "broken hearing" person?

It seems some has issues with my experience as identifying myself as a "broken hearing" person hence all the arguments about it. That was how I identified myself growing up and if it bothers you and others, sorry...not my problem.

I think Ladd's point is...everyone has his/her own journey into deafhood. It does not matter when or how. It's a process to explain to yourself and each other your own existence in the world.

Finally. You're one of the few people, hearing, deaf or Deaf, who GETS this.

It's a bit of a controversy because... the Brits maintain Deaf of Deaf don't go through a Deafhood journey because they are already born in the Deaf culture, and already has an identity. Those who felt lost in the world usually go through the Deafhood journey. The Americans, however, disagree with the Brits. The treatise has been written, but the application is a bit of a struggle.

So, yes, the concept of Deafhood is based on Paddy's personal experience.

I refrained from expanding more on the topic because I am not a "Deafer than Thou" type who seems to troll me when they gets the chance.

Of course how does one "determine" the values of "hearing society" to those of the"deaf community"? A question asked many times. Can one be "audist" WITHOUT KNOWING ?
Is there such a "thing" as "hearinghood"? Does this get to "blindhood" as well?

Isn't getting a Cochlear Implant ONE WAY of dealing with the fact of deafness- Notwithstanding the '"apparent disapproval of deaf militants"?

More discussions in Sociology re culture.

NO you are talking like "what about white power, man power, and rich power" as so they need to have rights...LOL...Forget it they Already dominate, that is the point.
 
Missy:

Have you gone through DonG's channel? I think ASLNikki had a few good vlogs as well on Deafhood, comparing to Blackhood and Womanhood as well, but she closed her account... so, phooey. She had really good vlogs from what I remembered.

Just your own group. That much is obvious.

I like to keep things relatively simple and avoid any semblance of "groupie-ness." Tis all. :wave:

Would that be because you have no groupies? Because if you are attempting to protray yourself as not following after a specific group, you have failed.

not only that, kokonut cant handle to be a follower of any sort, very stubborn individualistic individual. More to the point Kokonut doesnt want to have less 'powers' than others, is so afraid of submission of any sort, a real anti social and more to the point, real Loners arent snotty like that, loners Dont try challenge , they geniunely actually seek soliance, not attention, not approval and not points-keeping.
 
Grummer: I made no reference to "white or black or whoever" power. Nor to "man power" or"rich power"? Normally discussed in Marxism which has no relevance to the "deafhood" as I understand-correct?

Relabeling "deaf militants" as "cultural deaf" hardly changes their" beliefs" does it?

You think that a Deaf militant and a person who Id's as culturally Deaf are identical?
