Music and Deafness interactions. Interscientific contributions and perspectives
Résumé
This presentation aims to consider the complexity (Morin E.) of the Deaf musical experience, using for that an interscientific musicological posture (Vecchione B.). It will seek in this sense to define, on the one hand, what formalizes the perceptual qualities of the Deaf in the face of sound realities and, on the second hand, to focus on their abilities to develop and perform a singular experience of music. Considering the visual dimensions of music, based on the deaf practices represented by the vusic and the sign-singing, it will propose also to think how they can bring to a de-normalized consideration of music, namely the vusicality.
By crossing psychological, anthropological, cognitive, or acoustic approaches, this presentation intends to contribute to a broader understanding of what constitutes the ordinary listening, and an enlargement of musical meaningful dimensions.
