	Models of deafness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The cultural model of deafness arises from, but is not limited to, deaf people themselves, especially pre-lingually deaf people whose primary language is the sign language of their nation or community; their children, families, friends and other members of their social networks.
		Gay culture and American deaf culture, both of whom experience the disadvantages of being minority cultures, bear resemblance to one-another in that most members of these two minority groups do not share their minority identity with their parents and cannot develop it at home.
		Deaf cultural values find abhorrent the dismantling of the residential schools since they were considered the best possible environment, the highest quality of life, in which to acquire and enrich sign language fluency and pass on deaf cultural values that serve as tools and solutions to challenges in a predominantly hearing world.

	Deaf culture
		The determination as to one's membership in a particular cultural group is not determined by vote or election to the group by its constituent members, but by individual election to embrace the core values of the group.
		In the conceptual framework of culture, deaf culture shares its closest parallel with minority language groups, a scale of human experience much smaller than the majority culture in which it is embedded, but nonetheless, deaf culture possesses every single aspect of culture that defines cultural groups at all; minority or majority.
		In hearing cultures foreigners are expected to learn the language of the land of their residence in order to successfully assimilate into the culture.

	Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Cultural studies uses ethnographic fieldwork, interviewing, textual and discourse analysis, and traditional historical methods of research to investigate a wide variety of communication-related issues, such as what conceptions of maleness boy scouting in Great Britain are based upon (1984a, p.
		British cultural studies, at its inception, also ``broke with the passive and undifferentiated conceptions of the `audience' '' in favour of a detailed examination of the variety of ways messages are decoded by members of the audience with different social and political orientations.
		Centring on hegemony and ideology, as they are manifested in political and educational practices, subcultures, and popular media texts, British cultural studies has applied Marxist concepts to everything from media treatments of mugging to Thatcherism.

	Australian Aboriginal Fine Arts Gallery
		The superintendent recognised Dorothy's artistic talent, and encouraged her to paint in the western style, but after school each day her father and her uncle taught her to paint on bark in the old traditional way, using natural ochres and bush brushes.
		He consulted with the elders and eventually obtained their permission for Dorothy to be allowed to paint the traditional designs so that there would be a better chance of the art and sacred stories of the Ganalbingu tribe being kept alive.
		Dorothy has had several exhibitions of her work and has been written up in authentic art books.

	AAS-Biographical memoirs-Hill
		From a cultural point of view, Hill commented in an article written in the University News in 1976, that Cambridge reawakened an interest in music and drama, but that she came especially to appreciate the effect of architecture on the human spirit.
		Dorothy took on a more active role, after she came into contact with people who were working on cyphers in General Macarthur’s headquarters where she joined a group of civilian women, and became the officer in charge of a large number of undergraduates and typists.
		Dorothy Hill made a broad contribution to science in Australia at a time when both university and government science were in need of considerable improvement, and the benefits of research were not widely appreciated among university administrators.

	FT November 2000: The Public Square
		But the great crime of which the churches are accused is “cultural genocide.” Not only did they interfere with native religions, but they taught the kids English and generally did their best to prepare them for assimilation into the majority culture.
		If he cannot exorcise the nonsense of “cultural genocide,” it can at least be recognized that the churches ran the native schools at the request of, and under contract with, the government.
		But Dorothy Day was prompted to open her heart to that grace by the witness of other human beings—especially by the religious sisters whom she saw day in and day out feeding the poor in the depths of the Depression era.

	Miall -- "Tintern", Garrett 2
		Althusser describes this three part interpellation as "universal recognition" (169), everyone recognizes their similarity to each other and to the centre and agrees that if they remain similar and in their prescribed subject positions, everything will be as it should be.
		With the romantic centre interpellating the romantic poet into an enabling subject position, and the entire interpellary relationship being reflected in the landscape, the universe appeared unified but it was an illusion.
		Because any ideology necessarily creates a cultural unconscious, or that which is not allowed in that ideology's imaginative representation of the world, there can be no universal consciousness.

	The Risks Digest Volume 5: Issue 67
		She similarly describes the culture of journalism, including basic reporting, editorial contraints, audience assumptions, economic pressures, avoidance of complexity, and vulnerability to sources.
		The centre was running circa 10000 lines of uncommented, undocumented spaghetti BASIC which had evolved over a period of years in the care of a couple of self-taught programmers.
		Not surprisingly, crashes were common - especially of the 'centre' - which was embarrassing since the system - originally designed for control of heating plant in schools and factory complexes (eg one centre for an education authority, one outstation per school) - was also being used as heating control for communal housing projects.

	Baha’i Proselytization in Malwa, India
		In was to this sacred center of Hindu culture that the family had initially planned to pioneer, and now that the train lines were again open they had become determined to fulfill their original goal by establishing a homeopathic clinic in the city.
		Likewise one of Dorothy Baker's addresses in Malwa during her 1953 visit was entitled The New Avatar.
		Thus one can find verses which speak of such native cultural fundamentals as holy spots, hero-figures and literary metaphors, and although they may be incorporated into one of the major avatar themes, their use often implies other theological references.

	Reconstruction 5.3 (Summer 2005)
		The essay “Discovering Your Cinematic Cultural Identity” reflects the authors’ decades of residence in the state of Iowa and their personal irritation with the stereotypes that Hollywood regularly calls upon in evoking the American rural.
		A native Texan, he also comments wryly on movie-generated cultural expectations for Texas and Texans that are discrepant from the largely urban, post-industrial life of the late 20th century.
		This is not a serious omission, since the absence of discussion about “national character” or “national cultural identity” reflects the difficulty of identifying any such “essence” in the way that films within a nation portray the culture identity of that nation.

	MUSEUM SECURITY MAILINGLIST REPORTS
		THE Pompidou Centre in Paris has been sued for receiving stolen goods after refusing to return a Cubist masterpiece by Braque to the heirs of its pre-war owner, a Jewish art-collector.
		M Kann's heirs, who recently asked for the painting's return, have been told by the Ministry of Culture that their claim is invalid under the French "code civil".
		The Pompidou Centre's president, Jean-Jacques Aillagon, said the museum was covered by this law because it "had no idea that the painting passed through the Kann collection" - a line formally contested this week by lawyers for the heirs.

	Michael Allen, Emily Dickinson as an American Provincial Poet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The "cognitively estranged" writer in the later nineteenth century was, in Peckham's view, bearing witness to a cultural crisis; he or she found it necessary to assert continually the invalidity and in authenticity of the dominant and central values and patterns of social interaction in that age.
		It was obviously crucially important for her future achievement that the Amherst poet had the confidence to articulate such a rationale before she entered into dialogue with the "cultural centres" in the person of a Boston cosmopolitan.
		Emily Dickinson, living in the watershed and refusing to bring her "talent" to the centre on Higginson's invitation, focusing her art in the life of one of "the little toad-eating cities" was preparing to exemplify a very different approach to the literary possibilities of the region.

	New Left Review - Tom Mertes: A Republican Proletariat
		Out to the west, the ill-named Garden City is one of the stateâs chief cow-butchering centres, which together boast a daily slaughter capacity of some 24,000 beasts.
		The old-style backlash populism of the Cold War years, so successful in mobilizing a suburban and small-town electorate against the elitism and cultural depravity of the liberal establishment, rotten with pro-fl politicians, pro-abortion judges, godless professors, anti-American high schools, etc., had never had much to say about the joys of the market.
		It was only under Clinton, Frank argues, that celebration of capitalism itself took centre stage in late-twentieth century American ideology: âthe market as champion of the downtrodden Others of the planetâ, empowering the little guy; a world in which âconsumption is democracyâ and markets ârepresent a far more democratic form of organization than governmentsâ.

	The Emergence of Japan as a Western Text, 2
		Whatever might be said of the reasons for seeing things this way, or the placement in New York of a centre to which fate had pulled the Japanese (their own diaries kept on the journey present a radically different interpretation of the embassy and its implications), [9] Whitman’s lines were prophetic.
		The perfumes that poured from the box newly opened were copious indeed, and soon were to be diffused throughout the aesthetic landscape of Western Europe and the United States, with effects considerable and wide ranging.
		The popular imagination was stirred, however, by the curios—fans, kites, combs, parasols, sword guards, porcelains, dolls, kimonos, and the like—that constituted the first Japanese cultural exports of the modern period, and by ukiyoe—the ‘pictures from the floating world’ still so much associated in the West with the Japanese tradition.
