| Yhteenveto: | The village of Bengkala in Indonesia is known as Desa Kolok, which means “deaf village”. In this village, which has a high number of deaf inhabitants due to the transmission of a recessive gene (winata et al., 1995), deaf individuals (koloks) associate with hearing (normal) people in their daily lives. Adaptation strategies are in place in the village, giving the impression that the inclusion of koloks has been maximised at all levels of the community (vibert and Gaucher, 2020). The data presented in this article are based on drawings by students at Bengkala’s bilingual (bahasa indonesia/kata kolok) school, with the aim of establishing the social representation of deafness. The drawings show that there are two means of illustrating deafness in Bengkala, i.e. through words and hands, which deviates from the concept of the deafness-physical difference relationship generally presented in individualistic western societies. The provisional conclusion drawn from the data underlines the importance of representing deafness as a social status and not as a physical characteristic. |
