“…The filmic configuration of exchanged gazes and the resulting production of a human communicational and affective space thus translate the child's becoming a normal hearing and addressable human being [5]. In fact, and due to the spectacularization of the scenario, it is rather difficult to recognize whether the babies or the toddlers react to the activation, to the touch of the parents (mostly the mother), or to the camera (often the father) recording the event.…”

“…Thus, the constitution and stability of the implant's Bidentity^can be seen as an effect of its relations to the networks (or collectives) it is enrolled in [13]. 5 Moreover, although one can argue that the technical components of the CI remain stable and coherent while it is being circulated in mutually excluding, interrelated networks [89,393], this position is complicated by the fact that Bthe social elements are subject to incoherence^ [86,[33][34]. This incoherence is expressed in the contradictory agendas of the specific networks and the corresponding discoursive productions of Bnormality^and Bhumaneness.^Such an understanding of the CI allows us to explain the emergence o f c o n t r o v e r s i e s a n d d i s c o u r s e s o n t h e Bdehumanization^and Beradication^of deaf communities that result from the contradictions within the local socio-technological translations of the neuroprosthesis.…”

The paper focuses on processes of normalization through which dis/ability is simultaneously produced in specific collectives, networks, and socio-technological systems that enable the construction of such demarcations. Our point of departure is the cochlear implant (CI), a neuroprosthetic device intended to replace and/or augment the function of the damaged inner ear. Unlike hearing aids, which amplify sounds, the CI does the work of damaged hair cells in the inner ear by providing sound signals to the brain. We examine the processes of the CI's genesis as well as its specific uses by and interrelations to the different and divergent actors that the CI assembles. We argue that the technological device and the implicated normalization process mobilize complex effects in varying socio-technical arrangements. The CI is conceived as a Bboundary object^[89] or a Bquasi-object^[49, 83], i.e., a metastabilized medium of translation that coordinates social, cultural, and technological (inter)action. Although intended to transform non-hearing or hard of hearing people into competent and Bnormal^hearing subjects, the CI system reproduces the asymmetrical structures of the disability discourse [14] through its function of Bdeveloping and maintaining coherence between intersecting social worlds^ [89, 393]. Additionally, it initiates controversial discourses that have resulted in new forms of biosocial collectivities ranging from cochlear implantees with (restored) normal human hearing to (trans)human configurations who have passed through (post)human enhancement. Our approach is thus situated at the intersection of disability and media studies and tackles the particular conditions technological media configurations impose upon the (re-)production of dis/ability.

Die fünfte Folge der Dokumentar-Miniserie "Sound System" (Frankreich 2016), ausgestrahlt vom Sender arte, trägt den Titel "Rastaman Migration". Die Produktion zeichnet die Entstehung und den Weg von Soundsystemen nach und begibt sich dafür in Städte der Karibik, den USA, Südamerikas, Asiens und Europas. Einer der Orte, an dem sich die globale Story von Dancehall-Klängen verdichtet, ist London. Der dort seit den 1960er Jahren stattfindende Notting Hill Carnival kann als ein exemplarisches Beispiel für die Art begriffen werden, wie sich im postkolonialen Vereinigten Königreich soziale Zugehörigkeiten, Musikkulturen, Kostüme, Beschallungssysteme und städtische Räume sowie deren Kommerzialisierung oder Gentrifizierung prozessual herausbilden und performativ miteinander verweben (Klöß 2014, S. 451-461). Diesen konfliktreichen Aushandlungsprozess, der sich mit dem Karneval verbindet, bezeichnet Paul Gilroy mit Blick auf die 1970er und 1 Dieses Kapitel entstand im Rahmen des Projekts "Recht auf Mitsprache: Das Cochlea-Implantat und die Zumutungen des Hörens", Teilprojekt 2 der Forschungsgruppe "Mediale Teilhabe. Partizipation zwischen Anspruch und Inanspruchnahme", gefördert von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Projektnummer 272138722.
