RAMOS, Danielle Cristina Mendes Pereira. THE BODY AS CORPUS: the spaces of literature teaching for deaf students. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2020, vol.10, e020007.  Epub Mar 28, 2022. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2020v10n0id1151.

The main aim of this work is to discuss the connections between deaf students´ literary literacies and discourses and practices of identities and power, which concerned to conceptions about knowledge, text and literature, which can be found at universities curriculum and in communities. It points to the reflection on literature as a path of resistance, in an exclusionary society in relation to cultural and linguistic minorities, facing the official and contradictory discourses on inclusion, supported by neoliberalism. The work has as theoretical framework the studies of Bhabha (1993) on the concept of cultural difference; those of Canclini (2006), on Hybridism; and the New Studies of Literacies, especially those of Street (2014), that refers to the plural conceptions of literacies and their connections with contexts of power. We intend to demonstrate the urgency of recognizing the sociocultural specificities of deaf groups in formal education processes, as well as those pertinent to the literary manifestations in Libras - Brazilian Sign Language - that have as their corpus the body itself in movement, expressed through a three-dimensional language, visual and spatial, in performance strategies.

Keywords : Inclusion; Deaf; Literacies.
