Mãos que falam da construção das identidades surdas na escola ouvinte.

Abstract

In this dissertation I debate how the deaf identities have been constructed along the experience of inclusion at Colégio Municipal Pelotense, RS, discussing the effects of the inclusive policy in eight deaf students of Secondary Education – Normal Course, and discussing the impacts of this policy in the construction of their identities. Thus, this work has the contribution of authors like: Foucault, Hall, Silva, Larrosa, Skliar, Corazza, Perlin, Ewald, Woodward and others. To study the deaf students meant to bring for this discussion a few of their general history and of the education through social and policy movements, considering that the facts occurred throughout the time interfere in the present and in the future of these students. I present a discussion about the educational policies and the inclusion’s matter, observing the special school view where the deaf students, of this search, were introduced, reflecting about the problems experienced in school. I realize a careful analysis about the power relations and the differences relations in a multicultural view, understanding that the identities are constructed and changed in contact with the others. For this, I worked with the qualitative search. Pelotense School was scenery of investigation that has started in 2005. Three meetings were organized for doing semi-structured interviews and film. These recourses enabled to think, to analyse and to elaborate propositions about the construction of the deaf identities on listener scholastic curriculum. Also the LIBRAS’ translator participated of the meetings. The students reported their ideas about the school, the inclusion, the teachers, the subjects, the identities, the deaf culture and about the natural language. The students did a critical analysis about the changes, conquests and difficulties from the results and effects of their interventions in the school activities. The data for this study were analysed and interpreted through the narratives from the deaf students.
