Abstract(s)
Este artigo aborda conceitos essenciais em Estudos Surdos ainda pouco disseminados em Portugal. Descreve o discurso dos membros das Comunidades Surdas ocidentais enquanto minorias linguísticas culturais e explicita os conteúdos dessa concepção1 sobre o indivíduo Surdo. Referimos ainda a questão da Identidade Surda, tais como categorizações e processos apresentados na literatura especializada. Concluímos frisando a importância de se dar atenção aos discursos internos das Comunidades Surdas, e debatendo a perspectivação do traço ser Surdo como uma realidade médica ou étnica.
This article presents essential concepts in Deaf Studies lacking dissemination in Portugal. It describes the discourses of western Deaf communities’ members, as linguistic and cultural minorities, explaining the contents of that conception of the Deaf individual. Moreover, we approach issues concerning Deaf Identity, such as categories and processes, based on relevant literature. We conclude by stressing the importance of paying attention to the internal discourses of Deaf Communities, and debate the issue of the Deaf trait as a medical or ethnic reality.
