Paperback. Condition: New. This book presents a 'Traveller's Guide' to Deaf Culture, starting from the premise that Deaf cultures have an important contribution to make to other academic disciplines, and human lives in general. Within and outside Deaf communities, there is a need for an account of the new concept of Deaf culture, which enables readers to assess its place alongside work on other minority cultures and multilingual discourses.The book aims to assess the concepts of culture, on their own terms and in their many guises and to apply these to Deaf communities. The author illustrates the pitfalls which have been created for those communities by the medical concept of 'deafness' and contrasts this with his new concept of "Deafhood", a process by which every Deaf child, family and adult implicitly explains their existence in the world to themselves and each other.

Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Untorn dust jacket shows gentle handling wear. -- This seminal academic study provides a formal framework for understanding the linguistic and aesthetic structures of British Sign Language (BSL) poetry. The book treats sign language poetry as a sophisticated literary form, moving beyond simple translation to examine its unique visual and spatial properties. Linguistic Creative Devices: Sutton-Spence identifies specific "poetic" uses of BSL, such as metaphor, neologisms, and the creative manipulation of classifiers. Anthropomorphism and Metonymy: It explores how signers use their bodies to represent inanimate objects or multiple characters simultaneously through "role shift" and spatial placement. Visual Rhyme and Rhythm: The author proposes that "rhyme" in sign language is achieved through the repetition of handshapes, locations, or movement patterns, creating a visual harmony equivalent to auditory meter. Performance as Text: A key argument is that the "text" of a sign poem is inseparable from its performance; the book analyses how speed, tension, and facial expression function as essential prosodic elements. The work is considered a cornerstone of Deaf Studies and Applied Linguistics. Pioneering Framework: Critics in the Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education praised the book for providing the first comprehensive "grammar" for sign poetry, allowing for rigorous comparison with spoken-word traditions. It is a core text for BSL lecturers and researchers, often cited for its ability to bridge the gap between literary theory and sign language linguistics.
