The Study of Culture -- Selected Topics in Intercultural Communication -- Do Americans Really Have a Culture? -- American Deaf culture -- The Impact of Cultural Differences on Interpreting Situation -- The Interpreter's Role and Responsibility -- Techniques for Cultural Adjustments.
Ann Mindess examines a culture not widely understood - American deaf culture. Collectivist and high-context, it contrasts with mainstream individualistic, low-context American culture. Both cultures are examined and the interpreter's role and responsibilities are discussed.
