Translation to and from Sign Language as a Democratic Process of Inclusion Università di Parma, Italy Italian Sign Language (Lingua dei Segni Italiana, LIS), used by the Deaf community in Italy and long recognized as an element of its intangible cultural heritage, represents not only a privileged tool for everyday communication but also an expressive medium for the production of information and knowledge within the Deaf community. In recent years, LIS has been increasingly involved in a process of dialogue with formal education through bidirectional translation practices: on the one hand, school texts in Italian are translated into LIS; on the other, thoughts, questions, and reflections originally expressed through signing are rendered into spoken/written Italian. This contribution aims to analyze translational processes within educational interpreting and schooling contexts involving Italian Sign Language, both from and into LIS, in order to investigate the specific features of intramodal–intermodal translation of knowledge and information between languages of different modalities. To this end, a perspective grounded in sensory experience and in the reconstruction of textual meaning is not excluded but rather foregrounded, understood as the final act of reciprocal inclusion between Deaf and hearing individuals. | |
