Pais ouvintes, filhos surdos: barreiras na comunicação

O presente artigo objetiva uma reflexao de que a surdez nao e um obstaculo para a comunicacao de fato, a linguagem de sinais e o caminho para a integracao social dos deficientes auditivos, mas e preciso compreender que todo o processo de ensino e aprendizado dos conteudos nas escolas regulares tende a ser retransmitido, traduzido, para outra lingua. Respeitar as especificidades de cada forma de comunicacao estima ser o caminho para que nao haja divergencias quanto aquilo que esta sendo transmitido aos alunos surdos. As barreiras na comunicacao entre membros da familia e sociedade e um fato organizador deste artigo, numa assertiva de enfrentar a problematica da surdez. Esta pesquisa de natureza realizada por meio de estudos bibliograficos e de campo com familias de surdos tem o intuito da inclusao da pessoa surda no ensino regular e seus reflexos no processo de aprendizagem.

Rethink development face to three pressing demands

This essay is an attempt to reframe discussion on development propounding the need to attend to three sources of new perspectives, namely culture, social dynamics and environment. Such new perspectives are accessible only if one adopts a reflexive approach, in order to integrate social inclusiveness and analytical demands. One begins by commenting on the present state of partial frustration of the notion of classical economic development, by the emergence of the aforementioned demands, opening the agenda for a propositive discurse on development as a plural construction. Then, one offers not a concept but an agenda, envisioned as a somewhat tense, but also creative balance between culture, developed as decolonial approach to the notion of territorial lived experience; social dynamics as a reversal of the conception of development from social points of view, proposing poorness as a resource to rethink desiderata of consumption and/or systems of symbolic values; finally, one proposes to rethink environment not as a problem, but as a source of new models, embedded in the discussion of ethnosustainability and ethnodevelopment.
