MORI, Nerli Nonato Ribeiro  and  PISSINATTI, Larissa Gotti. Deaf literature in the Amazon region: the educational environment as a space for the construction of identity from aesthetic experience. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.54, pp.117-132.  Epub Sep 22, 2020. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v0i0.1254.

The present article aims to present a literature review of the productions called deaf literature in/from the Amazon. These productions recount local narratives adapting them to the cultural-linguistic context of the deaf. The school is the privileged space of contact with these narratives, enabling the deaf to develop aspects that constitute their identity. To do so, we divided this work into three moments. In the first, we will situate the literary productions of the deaf people through the bias of aesthetic experience, situated in the regional cultural context, based on Compagnon (2012) and Loureiro (2002). In the second moment, we discuss the possibility of literature as an instrument for aesthetic experience, and, finally, from Lev S. Vygotsky and Yves Lenoir, we examine the school as a mediating space for aesthetic experience, identification and development of linguistic-cultural values of deaf people. The results confirm the Amazonian deaf literature as an instrument for the identity formation of deaf people present in the Legal Amazon region.

Keywords : deaf literature; aesthetic experience; mediation; identity.
