A produção de sentidos da surdez e de filhos surdos

Abstract

In this study we search to understand and to explain the production of the subjective of deafness and of deafness in children of different families, based on Vygotsky s historic cultural boarding, on González Rey s subjectivity theory and on Morin s complexity theory. The study was developed with two families and the procedure used was the interview with the goal of reconstructing their histories and the relations processes of the deaf children. The investigation allowed the construction the senses gauges of the historic relations within the family such as: 1) the level of awareness and the frustration of the mother due to the limitation as she faced the need to seek the necessary resources for the development of her daughter, 2) recognition of the gravity of the meningitis and of the relief perceiving the possibility of his child development. The explanation of the families processes in the production of the news sense of the auditory deficiency, allowed the parents to recognize the children like citizen and to help in constitution of a new social subjectivity in relation to deafness. Among the most conclusions, we emphasize the following: the shock the family goes through when they find out their son is deaf is common; and the use of Libras, although it helps in the communication between the hearing and deaf members should not be an exclusive method when searching for development.
