Covid-19 Misperceptions and Masking Compliance: A Support Marshaling Analysis
Misperceptions strongly influence the extent to which individuals comply with preventative measures. Social support from others, particularly given widespread mistrust in news media among those holding misperceptions, plays an important role in shaping compliance with preventative measures. The impact of social support, however, is not straightforward and not all support results in greater compliance. The goal of this study is to examine the role…
Becoming Protactile: Interactional Foundations of Protactile Language Development and Language Emergence
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many DeafBlind children were left without access to educational services when schools went remote. This article presents findings from a project that brought DeafBlind adults into the homes of DeafBlind children during a historically unprecedented time, when a new language was emerging among DeafBlind people who call themselves "Protactile". In analyzing interactions between the DeafBlind adults and children, we have…
The medium of intersubjectivity
The aim of this article is to contribute to anthropological understandings of intersubjectivity by foregrounding the role of the environment. I begin by reviewing three key approaches that have emerged out of broader debates in the humanities and social sciences. The first mobilizes intersubjectivity as a way of explaining how a coherent social order is (re-)produced, given that the rational choice, for individuals, is to act in their own self-in…
The Hands as Reflex Republic
Among linguists, psychologists, and anthropologists interested in multimodal communication, much attention has been paid to the motor activity of the hands. Psychologists have treated the hands as a window onto the mind and as a facilitator of thought. Linguists have treated the hands as articulators of linguistic signs, and linguistic anthropologists have treated the hands as an integral part of broader, interacting semiotic processes. This essa…

Intersubjectivity
Intersubjectivity is a relation between subjectivities, which for humans can involve sensory access to each other and the environment; a taken‐for‐granted sense that our perspectives on a shared world are reciprocal; the ability to identify shared objects of attention and reference; a reflexive grasp of how experiences and entities relate to types of experiences and entities, as well as the prospective and retrospective orientations that implies;…
Feeling phonology: The conventionalization of phonology in protactile communities in the United States
A new phonological system is becoming conventional across a group of DeafBlind signers in the United States who communicate via reciprocal, tactile channels—a practice known as ‘Protactile’. The recent conventionalization of protactile phonology is analyzed in this article. Research on emergent visual signed languages has demonstrated that conventionalization is not a single monolithic process, but a complex of principles involving patterns of di…
Sign-creation in the Seattle DeafBlind community: A triumphant story about the regeneration of obviousness
This article examines the social and interactional foundations of sign-creation among DeafBlind people in Seattle, Washington. Linguists studying signed languages have proposed models of sign-creation that involve the selection of an iconic gestural representation of the referent which is subjected to grammatical constraints and is thereby incorporated into the linguistic system. Drawing on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork and more than 190 ho…
From compensation to integration: Effects of the pro-tactile movement on the sublexical structure of Tactile American Sign Language
School Placement and Perceived Quality of Life in Youth Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
In the education of students who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH), there is much debate about how placement affects educational outcomes and quality of life. This study examined the relationship between quality of life and educational placement that include and do not include other DHH youth. Participants included 221 DHH youth, ages 11-18 with bilateral hearing loss. Results showed that there were few differences in quality of life related to …

Sensing the rhythms of everyday life: Temporal integration and tactile translation in the Seattle Deaf-Blind community
This article is concerned with how social actors establish relations between language, the body, and the physical and social environment. The empirical focus is a series of interactions between Deaf-Blind people and tactile signed language interpreters in Seattle, Washington. Many members of the Seattle Deaf-Blind community were born deaf and, due to a genetic condition, lose their vision slowly over the course of many years. Drawing on recent wo…
