Problem is, it\u2019s on the verge of extinction. A new project hopes to document \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/news\/2016\/aug\/10\/race-to-save-hawaii-sign-language\" target=\"_blank\">what may be the last-ever conversations of native HSL signers \u2026 Like every natural language, HSL is the evolved product of a specific history, the unconscious creation of a community<\/a>. For it to survive, local signers will have to make a deliberate choice to use it. The same may be increasingly true of Deafness itself. The story of HSL raises crucial questions in an age of globalization: Do cultures on the margins have a future? Will enough people choose to be that different, and will they do it together?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In the Victorian era, electricity had a lucrative sideline in its applications to the human body: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aeon.co\/essays\/the-victorians-bequeathed-us-their-idea-of-an-electric-future\" target=\"_blank\">In one popular demonstration, a young woman stood on a stool holding the chain from an electrical machine. As long as no one touched her all was fine, but when a gentleman was challenged to give her a kiss the sparks flew<\/a>. Then there was medical entrepreneur James Graham\u2019s Celestial Bed. In 1781, based at his Temple of Hymen on fashionable Pall Mall in London, Graham charged wealthy childless clients \u00a350 a night to have sex in the electrified dome and forged a link between electricity, sex, and fertility that would persist throughout the Victorian era.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In the thirties, Wallace Stevens published a poem called \u201cSad Strains of a Gay Waltz\u201d: \u201cThere are these sudden mobs of men, \/ These sudden clouds of faces and arms, \/ An immense suppression, freed, \/ These voices crying without knowing for what \u2026 \u201d David Bromwich reflects on the meaning of these lines in the age of Trumpism: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lrb.co.uk\/blog\/2016\/08\/09\/david-bromwich\/these-sudden-mobs\/\" target=\"_blank\">The qualities of the mob I think Stevens meant to evoke were anger and a somehow warranted self-pity<\/a>. Those outside are unequipped by nature to enter into the mood. But these sudden mobs don\u2019t want our pity; they are made out of feelings that are intoxicating, and the feelings are their own reward. And never pretend that self-pity is a contemptible thing. It is the most popular and contagious of emotions. \u2018The epic of disbelief,\u2019 Stevens concluded, \u2018Blares oftener and soon, will soon be constant.\u2019\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Here in America, we know that customer service is about pitching fits, pointing fingers, and ruining a total stranger\u2019s day because the ice in your Frappuccino was kind of chunky.
