A identidade e a subjetividade cultural surda em vistas à inclusão

This paper proposes a theoretical analysis of cultural identity and subjectivity of deaf people, in order to promote its recognition as cultural diversity and enhance the process of deaf inclusion in the educational system and in society. Therefore, this paper presents a critical literature review on the following topics: deaf identity and subjectivity, in order to ascertain the extent to which the literature is able to elucidate what are the main features of deaf identity and what are the issues underlying the inclusion paradigm. The results point to the need for a thorough and urgent change in the process of inclusion, considering the active participation of deaf people in developing a new model of inclusion which, in addition to language, also meets other peculiarities related to diversity, because the deaf community is still marginalized and do not develop its full potential. This paper concludes that, although the legislation has advanced greatly, there is still a deep contradiction in inclusive practices, which accentuates the feeling of oppression and exclusion of deaf people, because they feel pressured to express their identity in accordance with the standard hearing society.

Opacidad de las fronteras entre real y virtual en la perspectiva de los usuarios del Facebook

territoriality and forms of being in a sensory environment The fact that our interviewees see reality as a world of flesh and blood, of feelings, confirms the explanatory force from the paradigm of what is real and virtual, and has colored the debate since the birth of the internet: the physical presence (usually associated with the real) and its absence (commonly related to the virtual plane) are important attributes in order to characterize these two environments. The fact that the virtual world is seen in an ambivalent manner (although it is somehow integrated to the real life and considering its potential to gather people and socially include them), calls the interviewee’s attention: it is also colder and more rationalized, more superficial, and less sincere. A regards the virtual, the real world seems even more reliable and, by all indications, this sentiment is largely based on the materiality of physical presence. This perspective finds correspondence in academic debate, with it being an indicator of its status: the difficulty of distinctly characterizing the two environments and breaking with the paradigm of physical presence in the definition of what is real. However, while analyzing the statements made by some interviewees in a more dialectic way, regarding the potential of interactions via social networks – being all unified without being literally together –, we find elements to argue in favor of the idea that people are present in distinct ways in both worlds. The possibility a person being able to express him/herself without the presence of a body points to the issue of bodily visibility/invisibility, to the ways of being present without physical materiality. For this reason, we avoid using the absence of physical presence to characterize relationships in social networks facilitated by the internet, because it differs in virtual and concrete environments, it is not the absence itself, but the form of the presence. The bodies of the interlocutors may be invisible, but the people are present in their images and words that make up their profiles.

Repercussões das redes sociais na subjetividade de usuários: uma revisão crítica da literatura

This article aims to map and review the literature on the repercussions of social networks on the subjectivity of its members to review whether such literature has the potential to elucidate the possible effects of the process called negotiation of identities in contemporary subjectivity of individuals. To achieve this goal, it was used the methodology of the state of the art, that checks the status of academic and scientifi c literature on the subject. Four data bases were accessed by a period of two years. The literature notes the aestheticization of the self, but interprets it as a consumer society, limiting the understanding of other interpretive possibilities as a new device for the production of meanings. Thus the conclusions reached is that although there are relevant results, the fi eld of studies on these effects has some gaps that need to be fi lled in order to advance through the prosperous virtual path.This article aims to map and review the literature on the repercussions of social networks on the subjectivity of its members to review whether such literature has the potential to elucidate the possible effects of the process called negotiation of identities in contemporary subjectivity of individuals.
