American Sign Language literature
American Sign Language literature (or ASL literature) refers to stories, poetry, dramatic productions, folk tales, and even songs in American Sign Language.〔Bahan, Ben. (2006). "Face-to-Face Tradition in the American Deaf Community." In ''Signing the Body Poetic: Essays in American Sign Language Literature.'' Ed. H.-Dirksen L. Bauman, Jennifer L. Nelson, and Heidi Rose. University of California Press.〕 ASL literature can denote works translated from other literatures into ASL, like Patrick Graybill's translation of the poem "Not Waving, but Drowning",〔Poetry in Motion (http://store.signmedia.com/1352.html)〕 or more often, works composed originally in ASL itself. Other notable performers of ASL literature include Ben Bahan, Peter Cook, Ella Mae Lentz, Sam Supalla, and Clayton Valli.
== History ==
Every spoken language used today originated in a pre-written, or oral form. Because no widely accepted method has yet developed for recording American Sign Language in writing, it persists, maybe uniquely, as a purely "oral" language.〔Peters, Cynthia L. ''Deaf American Literature: From Carnival to the Canon''〕 Only with the advent of film technology in the early 20th century could ASL be recorded, preserved, and distributed. The earliest example of recorded signing is a National Association of the Deaf compilation from between 1910 and 1920, containing various types of ASL discourse, including lectures, poems, stories, and songs.〔Bahan, Ben. (2006). "Face-to-Face Tradition in the American Deaf Community." In "Signing the Body Poetic." p. 23〕
Since the first films of ASL lectures in the early twentieth century, more ASL performances were gradually recorded, which has affected the tradition.〔Krentz, Christopher. (2006). "The Camera as Printing Press: How Film has Influenced ASL Literature." In ''Signing the Body Poetic''.〕 Today, a wide variety of ASL works is documented on video, and deaf performers continue to perform ASL stories, poems, and other works live to enthusiastic audiences at festivals, university events, clubs, and social gatherings. Each year, Gallaudet University, Deaf West Theater, and other deaf groups mount theatrical productions in ASL. Furthermore, many talented storytellers and poets perform works that are never recorded; video captures only a small percentage of ASL literature. The prevalence of digital video technology has allowed more signers to record their own ASL productions more easily and share them with more people than ever before. YouTube, Facebook, and Apple's Photo Booth have all contributed to wider exposure of original ASL creations.
