Deafness as self-representation of a 16th century poet.

摘要

In his best poems, the Renaissance poet Sabo Bobaljevic Glusac emphasizes his hearing impairment, placing his deafness at the centre of attention. These works are not only a poignant expression of an individual artist's suffering, but they may also add to our understanding of the situation of deaf persons. This self-reflection can be seen as a detail that will enhance our ability to communicate with deaf people in order not only to help them hear us, but also to make us hear them as well.
