Finally a Trick ‘n Treat
Finally a trick ‘n treat, here is newly released ASL literature work “Haunted Dorm” It was created two years ago, inspired by experience of oppression encountered in an ASL research project, I decided to turn it into a literary work piece that could serve a genre of entertainment work in ASL as well as for providing a deep thought provoking anaylsis useful for Deaf studies and social studies. The 3-min introduction explains about four actual characters how their shameness of being so ruthless oppressants and the point of climax of the story are intended to be interpreted.
In this work, I added a variety of cinematic effects that incorporates in ASL parameters to settings of the story to enhance effects. I wish to point out two well known Deaf film makers and a Deaf vlogger who also used similar cinematic effects in their works to add greater dimensions to our language and culture.
Daniele Le Rose’s presentation of “The Le Rose Cut” H-M-H model theory as well as Rene Visco’s film work “Audism” at LightKitchen that demonstrates these cinematic effects
The “Haunted Dorm” story lasts 11 minute, it is not like a 3 to 5 min quickie. It is for entertainment in first version, consider it not a final product yet.

Me and my grandmother on the 1st day of Sukkot holiday. Uzi Buzgalo 2007
This is Uzi Buzgalo’s other Devia artwork recently completed. This is a remarkable example of how a Deaf individual self empowers by accomplishing something on his own and enjoys the ownership. This is in reference to my previous vlog discussion about Deaf empowerment issues, Difference between being self empowered and empowered by others. Instead of having to be with his all hearing families to celebrate Sukkot holiday, a Jewish tradition to build huts and tents, he stayed with his grandmother to build his own little one. His grandmother remains in his fondest memory for using Moroccan gestures and home signs that provided the foundation of his language development in his early childhood. You can notice his grandmother holding the chair steadily to allow her 10 year old Deaf grandson (Uzi) build his hut and self empower himself this way while his families celebrate Sukkot in the far distance as can be seen in the upper left of the painting.

My Deaf mother during Nazi time in Germany
My three deaf siblings and I are survivors if it was not for our grandparents who hid my mother in their house during her childhood. They had no choice but had to drill my mother to sound like a hearing to avoid suspicion. Many deaf people in Germany were sterilized. Despite my mother’s residual hearing with fairly good auditory speech comprehension, she still felt so suppressed from having to keep on concentrating. The psychological effect lasted through her lifetime. It would have made a huge difference if she and her family were allowed to speak, sign, and be bilingual.
