By doing this, in a social, cultural and political context in which sign language is not completely recognized by authorities, for whom the deafness is above all a health affair, the following question is often raised: doesn't this situation give an evidence of militancy for interpreters members of the French Association of the interpreters in Sign Languages (AFILS)?

Abstract

Christine Quipourt et Patrick Gache : Sign Language interpretation, is it a militant act?

Following the example from interpreters-translators of all languages, interpreters in sign language, the language of the deaf

people, conceive their profession and carry on their activity with an explicit aim to establish a communicational bridge between

two people, or two groups of people, not speaking the same language, that means, between deaf and hearing people. By doing

this, in a social, cultural and political context in which sign language is not completely recognized by authorities, for whom the

deafness is above all a health affair, the following question is often raised: doesn't this situation give an evidence of militancy for

interpreters members of the French Association of the interpreters in Sign Languages (AFILS)?
