Abstract:

In the 2010s, leaders of the DeafBlind community in Seattle called
into question the communitys dependence on sighted interpreters and
sought new ways of communicating, interacting, and navigating through
touch. This effort became the protactile movement, and it spread
quickly across the country. In Going Tactile, Anthropologist Terra
Edwards draws on thirty months of ethnographic fieldwork with
DeafBlind artists, intellectuals, political leaders, and community
members, to show how autonomous spaces away from sighted norms were
created and life was re-imagined. In doing so, she offers a new
perspective on the nature of language, its limits, and what it means
to find a new way of being in the world.
