dc.description.abstract | The influence of Michel Foucault’s thinking in critical disability studies, and to social
studies of deafness, can hardly be doubted. Foucault has offered valuable tools for the
critical rethinking of deaf education and pedagogy with respect to normalization and
disciplinary power, which are integrally related to the historical construction of deafness
as deficiency and pathology by modern, medical, and psychological knowledge. This
article explores the applicability and critical potential of the Foucauldian concepts of
disciplinary power, surveillance, and normalization within the specific context of the
history of deaf education in Finland. The article focuses on the modernization of the
education of deaf children that began during the latter half of the nineteenth century in
Finland, with the influence of oralism – a pedagogical discourse and deaf-education
methods of German origin. Deafness was characterized as a pathology or abnormality
of the most severe kind. When taken at the general level, Foucault’s well-known
concepts are easily applicable to the analysis of deaf education, also in the Finnish
context. However, it is argued that things become much more complex if we first examine
more closely the roles played by the eye and the ear, by optic and aural experience, in
these Foucauldian notions, and if we then relate this enquiry to our analysis of oralist
pedagogy and deaf education. | |
