Pas Moi is Diana Anselmo’s new dialogic lecture-performance, the concluding chapter of a documentary and affective research trajectory exploring the web of power and domination woven into major historiography. If the previous performance, Je Vous Aime – which later became a solo exhibition at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin – highlighted the re-educational implications for Deaf people in the context of the first projections of moving images that subsequently led to Cinema, Pas Moi follows a parallel path and, from a Deaf and signing perspective, delves into the genesis of the first instruments for recording, transmission, and reproduction of sound. Through minor archives, anti-histories, and situated knowledge transmitted body-to-body, the celebrated devices that shaped the future of the film and music industries are revealed to have been conceived with an audist and phonocentric intent: to “heal” deafness. A disease to be eradicated or made to disappear into the fabric of the hearing world, rather than an identity, a culture with its own language and community. Pas Moi imagines where one can go if another is the starting point—beyond “the lack of hearing,” further ahead.
