ABSTRACT:This article ethnographically analyzes the emergence of deaf worlding in New Delhi, India centered around Christianity, deaf rights, and deaf sociality. Approaching disability through human rights frameworks involves the worlding of rights-focused subjectivities. However, disability as a social and moral category and experience is frequently routed through and exists alongside other domains in which rights may be of differential importance. Thus disability rights, especially as a global initiative, intermingles with other ways of being in and out of the world. The focus of human rights often has different bases and priorities than, for instance, religious worlds, which are often otherworlds or interworlds. This ethnography thus examines how deaf people cultivate selves, socialities, institutions, and goals that are interworldly. An analysis of how deaf people pray for rights foregrounds deaf and disability activism that is not solely located in a liberal international human rights regime and allows for other kinds of deaf/disability personhood and worldings. A focus on cultivation becomes a means to think about the interactive and processual emergence of interworldly orientations, institutions, and futures.

为权利祈祷：在印度城市培养聋人世界

摘要：本文以基督教、聋人权利和聋人社会为中心，从人种学角度分析了印度新德里聋人世界的出现。通过人权框架处理残疾问题涉及以权利为中心的主观性的世界化。然而，残疾作为一种社会和道德类别和经验，经常通过其他权利可能具有不同重要性的领域并与之并存。因此，残疾人权利，尤其是作为一项全球倡议，与其他进入和离开世界的方式交织在一起。人权的焦点往往有不同的基础和优先事项，例如，宗教世界通常是其他世界或跨世界。因此，这种民族志研究了聋人如何培养自己、社会、制度和世界各地的目标。对聋人如何为权利祈祷的分析将聋人和残疾激进主义置于自由国际人权制度中，并允许其他类型的聋人/残疾人格和世界。对修养的关注成为思考世界性取向、制度和未来的互动和过程出现的一种手段。
