Abstract

This study consists of an analysis of the work of Cláudia Bisol, Tibi and Joca: history of two worlds, emphasizing the example of valuing deaf culture and seeking to answer the question: How can literary works in Libras contribute to the inclusion of the deaf in the schools? Thus, the main objective was to analyze the use of literary works created with the intention of including the deaf, specifically, to analyze the use of literature as an art of teaching; identify how the inclusion of people with specific disabilities has been worked on and; discuss the importance of literary works created and adapted for the deaf public, thinking about the inclusion of people with deafness. This is a bibliographical research, of the descriptive type, based on authors such as Rildo Cosson, Rachel Sutton-Spence, Antônio Cândido, among others, in addition to the legislation pertinent to inclusion and critical reference on Bisol's work. The results found indicate that the story of Tibi and Joca broadly portrays the importance of thinking about specific subjects in which the child feels represented, considering that deaf literature has developed gradually, it arises from a tradition, from a culture to the nowadays, concluding that the deaf person should not be treated as a hearing impaired person, but as an individual who is open to a rich culture that allows him to experience another world. When analyzing Bisol's work, it is clear that it goes far beyond just reading, considering that it teaches about feelings, respect, companionship and love in a language appropriate for children. In this way, it is concluded that it is important to know all the strategies of composition of literature in Libras and to work with them in the classroom, being essential for the development of an inclusive education in schools.
