DISCURSIVE PRODUCTIONS OF SUBJECTIVITIES

people with deafness between pity and rehabilitation

Abstract

This article, analyzes some cultural artifacts (flyers free social movement) with statements about deafness and sign language and ask: how these discursive cultural artifacts produce subjectivities? In our view, the language, narratives, texts and discourses not only describe or talk about things, but in doing so, establish and produce subjectivities. The argument developed here is that the flyers teach certain modes of existence, in our case of people with deafness, and different ways of driving. From a discursive analysis, we can say that the flyers analyzed bring into relief a production of subjectivities related to people with deafness, since people established in the principle of compassion, pity, victimization to rehabilitation and in turn, the elimination of deafness.
