“…Moreover, within this space, the deaf are endeavoring to manage hearing people's perceptions, inviting them into a realm of processing the world primarily through vision. In doing so, deaf people hope that hearing people would gain an experiential understanding of life as an ocularcentric person (Skyer, 2021).…”

In this paper, I provide an arts-based posthumanist cartography of a theatre play, Apple Time performed by deaf youth in Regina, Saskatchewan. This play was co-constructed by deaf youth performers, two deaf adults, a hearing teacher, and a hearing director. Apple Time premiered in Regina, Saskatchewan on June 2, 2018, and was remounted again at the Globe Theatre (Regina) in February 2019 and again at the SoundOff Festival in Edmonton, Alberta. The arts-based cartography examines intelligibility as a methodological problem as posited by Graif (2018), in which the actions of deaf children and youth often remain invisible due to the ontological position that perception of the world is predicated upon the ability to hear. Intelligibility as a methodological problem poses a challenge to the deficit perspective commonly held by families and service providers working with deaf children and youth (Glickman & Hall, 2019). The performers in this play were able to re-align audience perceptions through the presentation of their inner worlds and preoccupations, thereby making their multiple deaf worlds more intelligible.

“…The American Annals of the Deaf, for example, proudly announced the names of instructors and principals of deaf schools who enlisted in the military in a regular segment called "Our Roll of Honor." 76 Women lip-reading instructors who left their positions at schools for the deaf to teach servicemen were not included in the Roll of Honor, but the Annals often noted these transfers in its regular updates on American deaf schools. 77 Likewise, the Volta Review in 1918 commended the patriotism and "war work" of Louise I. Morgenstern, who closed her Manhattan School for the Hard of Hearing during the war in order to devote her energy to helping deafened servicemen.…”

With the United States’ entrance into the First World War, linguistic and cultural cohesiveness became imperative, compelling everyone—from immigrants with foreign accents to people with speech problems and hearing loss—to “sound American” by fluently speaking the language of their flag.This article examines lip-reading, speech, and auricular training prescribed to deaf and hard-of-hearing children as well as for servicemen deafened in the war to demonstrate how World War I demanded all Americans to contribute to and participate in shared national soundscapes, regardless of their hearing status. Use of American Sign Language was considered a conspicuous sign of one’s failure to integrate into hearing society, and it shared parallels with immigrants who failed to learn English and fully assimilate into American culture. Indeed, rehabilitation of deafened soldiers of the First World War through speech training and lip-reading instruction at Hospital No. 11 at Cape May, New Jersey, coincided with broader national efforts to improve Americans’ speech and language use, and in turn, their patriotism and productivity.
