Nicholas Mirzoeff shows how the French Revolution transformed the ancient régime metaphor of painting as silent poetry into a nineteenth-century school of over one hundred deaf artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePainters, sculptors, photographers, and graphic artists all emanated from the Institute for the Deaf in Paris, playing a central role in the vibrant deaf culture of the period. With the rise of Darwinism, eugenics, and race science, however, the deaf found themselves categorised as \"savages,\" excluded and ignored by the hearing. This book is concerned with the process and history of that marginalisation, the constitution of a \"centre\" from which the abnormal could be excluded, and the vital role of visual culture within this discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on groundbreaking archival and pictorial research, Mirzoeff's exciting and intertextual analysis of what he terms the \"silent screen of deafness\" produces an alternative history of nineteenth-century art that challenges the canonical view of the history of art, the inheritance of the Enlightenment, and the functions, status, and meanings of visual culture itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFusing methodologies from cultural studies, poststructuralism and art history, his study will be important for students and scholars of art history, cultural and deaf studies, and the history of medicine, and will interest a general audience concerned with the relationship of the deaf and the larger society.
