Gabay, N. (2007, Aug) ““With the Practiced Eye of a Deaf Person”: Harriet Martineau, Deafness and the Scientificity of Social Knowledge” Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, TBA, New York, New York City Online Retrieved 2008-07-18 from http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p183566_index.html
According to the abstract (Gabay 2007) this paper involves a discussion of the
“role played by Harriet Martineau, a social investigator and a famous popularizer of governmental reports who suffered from a severe hearing impairment, in the scientization of British politics and consequently in the development of Victorian Social Science. Using the spatio-temporal model, I suggest a phenomenological reading of Martineau’s work. Martineau’s biography reveals an interesting intersection between deafness, propensity toward visual knowledge, the materiality of writing reports about society (as opposed to the non-materiality of speaking), the wide circulation of these reports in the public sphere and, ultimately, the scientificity of social knowledge.”
