About
The overall goal of this dissertation is to develop an in-depth understanding of current vlogging practices, and clarify the potential impact of vlogging and video-based communication on Deaf culture and communication practices. I will explore such questions as: how vlogging has influenced Deaf culture; the type of content vlogged; the process that people use; and the importance of sign language-centric approaches versus text-centric approaches. I will use these analyses to develop a framework of vlogging practice by the Deaf community and its impact on storytelling. My framework and analyses will adapt mainstream theories and develop new theory that is Deaf centric in order to characterize the practice of video technology for the Deaf community.
