MARTINS, Vanessa Regina de Oliveira. Government of differences and the power of deaf life in school. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.70, pp.73-101.  Epub Feb 06, 2022. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v34n70a2020-51978.

It is urgent to affirm deafness as an ontological event, producer of differences, which materialize in the body of (varied) deaf subjects. The article aims to produce a philosophical analysis of deafness-event, making a parallel between the action of educational policies (normalizing) and the micro relationship of school daily, by the movement of resistance of deaf people to egalitarian policies. The concept of governmentality, developed by Michel Foucault, is fundamental to this reflection, pointing out two movements in inclusive practices: the first, guided by the diversity agenda, focusing on egalitarian practices and the second movement, produced in the logic of difference. It is proposed to announce deafness not only by linguistic-cultural difference, but as the effect of an ontological difference spread in the social body by branched flows, intensive movements, internally undermining the subjects and by them the various institutions. It is the low practice of counteracting this deaf “being” to normalizing actions that is of interest here.

Keywords : Deaf education; Inclusive policies; Differences.
