SELAU, Bento  e  CASTRO, Rafael Fonseca de. THE GENEALOGY OF THE SUBLATION IDEA BY BLIND PEOPLE IN BRAZIL: A STUDY BASED ON L. S. VYGOTSKI. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.3, pp.151-164.  Epub 23-Set-2019. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v26i3.11262.

This study aims to discuss the concept of sublation. It was originated from the graduation of blind people in higher education in Brazil, based on students’ reports and on L. S. Vygotski’s work. The qualitative investigation that supported this study was carried out as case studies. Nine blind people who had completed their college education were taken as subjects. Data was collected by interviews and document analysis (essays). This data underwent the procedures of discourse textual analysis. According to the participants, the idea that is shown in media that blind people who have completed higher education are heroes is mistaken. The insights of the research subjects, discussed on the basis of the concept of sublation proposed by Vygotsky, turn to an elevation of the blind through the mediation of cultural instruments.
