Crossing the Divide: Representations of Deafness in French Biography

Status: Ongoing Begin date: October, 2002 End date: November, 2006

Description

This analysis will explore the efforts of three French deaf biographers to find themselves as individuals and as artists and to cross the cultural divide between themselves and the mainstream society by means of their biographical studies of others. The authors included are Jean-Ferdinand Berthier (1803-1886), Yvonne Pitrois (1880-1937), and Corinne Rocheleau-Rouleau (1881-1963).
