- I will present at the very beginning of a research process, towards the making of a new art work through which I aim to interrogate the heritage of the phonocentric Oralist tradition in the education of Deaf people. I seek to ‘read’ and deconstruct Alexander McKendrick’s film, Mandy (1952) through a co-participatory process - with Deaf people educated through Oralism and of the same generation as the child protagonist in the film - to question the advocacy of entry into the symbolic via the ‘spoken’ and ‘speech-identification’ and its relations to psychoanalytic and inter-subjective, spectator-focused film theory. Through mimetic and performative processes inherent to Oralism (such as speech-reading, lip-reading, ventriloquism, echo-practice, dubbing and lip-synchronisation) I aim to adapt Mandy - itself an adaptation of Hilda Lewis’ novel, 'The Day is Ours' (1947) – in ways that reveal the psychoanalytic dynamics of shame at play in Oralism’s delineation of Deafness as a culture and its adherence to Deafness as a disability.
