CORREA, Ingrid Lourenço de Amorim; SILVA, Elizandra Garcia da  and  DAWES, Tathianna Prado. BRAZILIAN SIGN LANGUAGE AND DEAF STUDENTS: state of the art of signs for teaching circus activities. Revista Teias [online]. 2024, vol.25, n.76, pp.411-424.  Epub Mar 07, 2024. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2024.78880.

The main objective of this research was to carry out a survey of the state of art of signs for teaching of circus activities in the school context, using Brazilian Sign Language. In the year 2022, a brief survey was conducted on academic platforms, revealing a scarcity of literature that could support the planning of circus classes for deaf students. Faced with this scarcity, we sought to establish partnerships with extension projects affiliated with the Federal Fluminense University, such as the Libras, Linguistics, and Dissemination Extension Project (LiLinDiv) and the Prax-circense Project. Even in the face of limited literature, it was possible to identify existing signs for circus activities, totaling 37 signs that were systematized into a glossary, made available through the UFF Academic Libras Platform of the Federal Fluminense University. The data obtained in this study allowed for the identification of gaps in the existence of signs in Brazilian Sign Language concerning circus activities, as well as a lack of signs for didactic and pedagogical procedures.

Additionally, we estimate that these syntheses may provide support for future research in this field.

Keywords : brazilian sign language; deaf students; circus activities.
