Abstract


Instituto Pedagógico para Problemas de Lenguaje (IPPLIAP) is a deaf school in Colonia San Juan Mixcoac where Pfister conducted fi eldwork from 2012 to 2013.¹ Mixcoac, as it is colloquially known, is in central Mexico City and is the childhood home of Octavio Paz, Mexican author, poet, and winner of the 1990 Nobel Prize for literature. Romanticized as an independent village during Paz’s youth, Mixcoac, located approximately six miles southwest of the capital’s historical center, is now a fully incorporated Mexico City colonia (neighborhood).
