Title: Representing Deaf Culture in 'Through Deaf Eyes': Production-level decision making and influences on representation on public television
Authors: Neckyfarow, Karen
Issue Date: 4-Feb-2010
Abstract: Television acts as a communicator of culture and cultural difference to broad audiences. Representations of cultures, cultural minorities, and subcultures are consumed daily by Americans and have instigated, reinforced, or discarded stereotypes and stigmas between divergent communities. The reception of the communication of cultural difference via television is the product of those that create the programs and films that are viewed by audiences. This project explores production-level decision-making in "Through Deaf Eyes", a film about the history and culture of the deaf minority in order to illuminate the process and politics behind creation of cultural televisual representations.
