Abstract

[Sicard’s controlling yet touching relations with his students were apparently based on his perception of them as fellow creatures who needed help and lacked agency: he referred to them as enfants sauvages, and as machines ambulantes. As his correspondence with Léotard’s hearing son in the 1780s revealed, he had a penchant for humbling even hearing pupils. But once the deaf had acquired signs, he extolled them.]
