Direitos linguísticos e letramentos de corpos das pessoas negras surdas

Abstract

Language, as an element that shapes identity and culture, is challenged by colonial rule, a reflection of Eurocentrism, which positions the white race as superior. Coloniality influences social and economic relations, perpetuating racism as an ideology. The central objective of this discussion is to understand that, in globalized and ultraliberal capitalism, bodies intersected by deafness, race, and gender face a denial of historical and political existence, being condemned to impoverishment and oblivion. It is problematized how the idea of universal linguistic rights ignores the complex intersections of the bodies of deaf black people. The research, therefore, proposes to give visibility to these historically marginalized groups, especially deaf black women, defending a body literacy that is anti-racist and that recognizes the multiple intersections and knowledge present in each individual. The study adopts the concept of literacy as a process beyond literacy, involving the recognition of social intersections and their impact on a colonial society. Through critical literacy and abolitionist literacy, from an intersectional perspective, it aims to create emancipatory and anti-racist subjectivities for deaf black people.
