![]() | Deafening Modernism: Embodied Language and Visual Poetics in American Literature Subjects: Modernism (Literature) -- United States; Visual poetry American -- History and criticism; Language and languages in literature; Deafening Modernism tells the story of modernism from the perspective of Deaf critical insight. Working to develop a critical Deaf theory independent of identity-based discourse, Rebecca Sanchez excavates the intersections between Deaf and modernist studies. She traces the ways that Deaf culture, history, linguistics, and literature provide a vital and largely untapped resource for understanding the history of American language politics and the impact that history has had on modernist aesthetic production. Rebecca Sanchez is Professor of English and director of the disability studies program at Fordham University. She is the author of Deafening Modernism: Embodied Language and Visual Poetics in American Literature and (with Mara Mills) co-editor of the republication of Pauline Leader's And No Birds Sing. |
