Empatia e identidade: a importância da perspectiva surda na obra Patinho surdo de Fabiano Rosa e Lodenir Karnopp

Abstract

The analysis of this research aims to discuss the importance of the role of teaching deaf literature in the literacy process of deaf and hearing children. In this sense, reflections on empathy and identity will be made on the importance of the deaf perspective based on the critical reading of the work Patinho Surdo, by Fabiano Rosa and Lodenir Karnopp, in which topics relating to deaf literature, literary, linguistic and visual, as well as the ways in which these concepts play a significant role in the process of language acquisition and development of reading skills. It also aims to reflect on bilingual education and the importance of deaf literature in teaching-learning, analyze how literary and visual literacy helps children develop reading skills and show the protagonism and representation found in the work. To help achieve this objective, a qualitative and analytical search for theoretical support was carried out from authors who reflect on Bilingual Education, Teacher Training, Literary Literacy, Visual Literacy and Literature in Libras. The main authors who support this path are: Baú (2014), Rosa (2011)”, Karnopp (2006), Strobel (2008), Soares (2020), Abramovich (2006), Mourão (2012), among others. As a result of this work, it is expected that this study will add knowledge that will assist future education professionals in developing a pedagogy appropriate to Libra/Portuguese bilingual education. The analysis of the work Patinho Surdo (Karnopp; Rosa, 2011) can provide examples of how the methodological choice is useful in bilingual education. Furthermore, the work makes us reflect on the power relations between languages and how important it is to teach principles of reception, diversity, solidarity and empathy to bilingual children.
