Chapter 5 Flashcards
Interpreter’s need schema, why?
Schema is similar to a ‘script.’ These scripts that we have are from learning experiences which help us predict on how to act and how others act. Different from one culture to another.
What is schematic construct?
It is the way people organize their scripts, in which also includes, characteristics, social roles/interactions, etc.
What is the difference between stereotyping and oppression?
Stereotyping is where a person is pre-judging someone and making assumptions that may not be true. Oppression is where people disempower others and make them feel less. Interpreters can harm deaf consumers because they can hold the power to oppress them
What is the pathological view and cultural view on deaf individuals/groups?
There are people who view deaf people as disabled and imperfect, needing to be ‘fixed.’ The cultural view of deaf people is that they are viewed normal, capable human beings encountering life.
What is the harm of reciprocity of perspective for an interpreter?
Reciprocity of perspective is where an individual sees the world in their own frames and assuming others are just like them. This can harm interpreters because they wont be able to understand the consumer’s perspective. They will continue to have a closed mind.
What is It is audism?
It is a negative stigma towards anyone who does not hear. It limits individuals, similar to racism and sexism.
How does audism affect Deaf people?
The public view is negative towards the community, disempowered (less than), sensing you cant do anything to change things, violence, and privileged/equality.
How might an interpreter oppress a deaf or hearing client?
An interpreter holds the power because they are providing the communication access across to the consumer. If they use that power wrong, they can oppress the consumer because in this case they may feel less since they don’t have the communication access. Another way an interpreter can oppress is if they are closed minded and dont take their lense and put it onto the consumer’s perspective.
Discuss the relationship between power, status, and oppression.
Oppression is where an individual has power than others and making those empower-less (limited). Power is has oppression within it. It is people who have more privilege than others and can oppress others. As for status, if you are a higher class, it can influence oppression towards others who may be less.
Why is it important to understand the different concepts in this chapter?
It is important to be able to understand deaf people’s perspective because it allows the interpreter to have an open mind, to cause no oppression and much more. it allows them to move their lense to their consumer’s lense.
