WEBVTT 00:00:04.033 --> 00:00:06.656 Hello you all! 00:00:06.656 --> 00:00:13.013 My name is Sanzio 00:00:13.013 --> 00:00:14.705 I'm from Turin 00:00:14.705 --> 00:00:17.175 I make this intervention because 00:00:17.175 --> 00:00:20.255 I see many people asking 00:00:20.255 --> 00:00:22.007 how is going with the Sign Language (LIS) Law Approvation 00:00:22.007 --> 00:00:27.635 The Law is approved or is still not approved? 00:00:27.635 --> 00:00:28.925 Well I'll let you know that 00:00:28.925 --> 00:00:31.775 the LIS Law isn't approved yet 00:00:31.775 --> 00:00:34.051 is in processing phase 00:00:34.051 --> 00:00:38.096 First of all the proposal law was approved in Senate 00:00:38.096 --> 00:00:42.005 The debate there is finished, then approved 00:00:42.005 --> 00:00:51.093 so the proposal law was brought in "Camera" and then now they're discussing it 00:00:51.093 --> 00:00:54.315 when will be approved there 00:00:54.315 --> 00:00:57.405 it will be passed at Republic President that signs it 00:00:57.405 --> 00:01:05.526 then it will become official Law thru "Gazzetta Ufficiale" publication 00:01:05.526 --> 00:01:12.315 So the situation right now is held at the "Camera" 00:01:12.315 --> 00:01:18.365 The discussion is held more precisely in Social Affairs Commission 00:01:18.365 --> 00:01:23.375 It's one month that are discussing, already 3 times 00:01:23.375 --> 00:01:29.505 the last time, May 3rd, they're discussing on LIS 00:01:29.505 --> 00:01:36.935 Do you want to know if LIS is going ahead or not? 00:01:36.935 --> 00:01:43.017 So i'll let you know that the path is revealing very very difficult 00:01:43.017 --> 00:01:49.115 eh yes, the situation is not good 00:01:49.115 --> 00:01:55.013 Because in the last time, May 3rd 00:01:55.013 --> 00:02:02.083 they doesn't want anymore the "LIS" denomination, they want to change it 00:02:02.083 --> 00:02:08.941 4 deputies want to change the denomination 00:02:08.941 --> 00:02:13.000 With the following motivations: too straight to LIS 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:20.123 more oral Deaf people than Deaf Signers 00:02:20.123 --> 00:02:23.665 the technology will cancel the Sign Language 00:02:23.665 --> 00:02:30.123 the doctors say that in future the Deaf will be hear better 00:02:30.123 --> 00:02:34.715 so there will be no need to Sign Language 00:02:34.715 --> 00:02:42.385 at the end, the proposal is to change the denomination 00:02:42.385 --> 00:02:52.011 from LIS to LMG 00:02:52.011 --> 00:02:58.066 LMG: what does it mean? 00:02:58.066 --> 00:03:03.385 Language 00:03:03.385 --> 00:03:06.098 Mimic 00:03:06.098 --> 00:03:12.033 Gestual 00:03:12.033 --> 00:03:20.155 I repeat: LMG 00:03:20.155 --> 00:03:29.058 before going ahead let's stop one moment to reflect 00:03:29.058 --> 00:03:35.095 the LIS and LMG difference 00:03:35.095 --> 00:03:39.005 is very important to understand the difference 00:03:39.005 --> 00:03:46.275 LIS means Lingua dei Segni Italiana (Italian Sign Language) 00:03:46.275 --> 00:03:48.076 with the word "Lingua", Language 00:03:48.076 --> 00:03:53.038 there is the implicit recognition on life style, culture 00:03:53.038 --> 00:03:59.565 in a purely visual world as is the deaf world 00:03:59.565 --> 00:04:13.072 it means that in the human society there is the Deaf identification 00:04:13.072 --> 00:04:17.043 and this brings respect to Deaf people 00:04:17.043 --> 00:04:25.795 and respect to the person 00:04:25.795 --> 00:04:33.695 and the equal dignity 00:04:33.695 --> 00:04:36.039 it's clear this? 00:04:36.039 --> 00:04:46.675 LMG, if we say instead "Linguaggio" (Language) 00:04:46.675 --> 00:04:50.965 it's an artificial thing 00:04:50.965 --> 00:04:59.855 it means that if you aren't capable of speaking 00:04:59.855 --> 00:05:04.525 so I give you the possibility to gesticulate 00:05:04.525 --> 00:05:07.765 and this doesn't bring to any recognition 00:05:07.765 --> 00:05:11.085 of culture, the lifestyle of Deaf people 00:05:11.085 --> 00:05:15.015 and this brings at the concept of disability, as: 00:05:15.015 --> 00:05:21.085 you need and I give you this 00:05:21.085 --> 00:05:28.047 this mean that the Deaf people isn't recognized as Deaf 00:05:28.047 --> 00:05:31.035 but as disabled person 00:05:31.035 --> 00:05:40.051 and us as people with our dignity are discriminated 00:05:40.051 --> 00:05:43.835 as always has happened so far 00:05:43.835 --> 00:05:52.845 so did you understand the substantial difference between these two concepts? 00:05:52.845 --> 00:05:58.835 At the Camera the situation is this 00:05:58.835 --> 00:06:03.435 they are at the third session 00:06:03.435 --> 00:06:04.785 and these are continuing in the final approvations 00:06:04.785 --> 00:06:08.785 and outside there are a lot of protests against Lis recognition 00:06:08.785 --> 00:06:15.032 and affirms that LIS is not needed and this idea is growing more and more 00:06:15.032 --> 00:06:17.595 and US???? 00:06:17.595 --> 00:06:20.805 what we do? when do we protest? 00:06:20.805 --> 00:06:23.255 we ask to know but really 00:06:23.255 --> 00:06:26.885 and we Deaf sleep wake UP!! 00:06:26.885 --> 00:06:32.505 It's for our future, do we want fair dignity? 00:06:32.505 --> 00:06:36.525 do we want to have possibilities in the future? 00:06:36.525 --> 00:06:38.495 LIS oh yes, we know it and it's our language. Do you want it? 00:06:38.495 --> 99:59:59.999 or you prefer to be soothed with LMG?
