GOMES, João Carlos  e  VILHALVA, Shirley. BLUE EPISTEMOLOGIES OF INDIGENOUS SIGN LANGUAGES. ETD - Educ. Temat. Digit. [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.4, pp.811-825. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v24i4.8669296.

The blue epistemologies of indigenous sign languages emerging in intercultural contexts seek to reflect on the theoretical assumptions of deaf studies in indigenous contexts. These are epistemological reflections carried out by researchers João Carlos Gomes, from the Federal University of Rondônia (UNIR) and Shirley Vilhalva from the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS). the objective of the present study is to present the blue epistemologies as a methodological perspective in research on indigenous sign languages that involve pedagogical practices. In this perspective, the present study and research seeks to reflect on the emerging signs used by deaf indigenous people in the processes of communication and expression in an indigenous context. The study is epistemologically based on the post-critical assumptions of theoretical studies of emerging sign languages. Based on these theoretical assumptions, the researchers analyzed the communication and expression strategies used through natural signs that become emerging signs an indigenous sign language based on the culture and identity of deaf indigenous people. The study demonstrates that family signs have intercultural iconographic configurations that can be used as their own teaching-learning processes in the contexts of indigenous schools. In this perspective, researchers recognize that most emerging languages have a duration that is established according to the need for communication and expression processes in the educational context of indigenous territories. These are languages that are institutionalized by small groups of deaf indigenous people who use their cultural roots to produce emergent signs. They are languages that go through a process of rapid evolution than institutionalized sign languages. These emerging languages are difficult to map and may not be uniform in their linguistic structures, considering lexicon, morphology, syntax and pragmatics.
