Description
Summary:This paper proposes to analyse and discuss texts published by the writer Jorge Sergio L. Guimarães between the 1950`s and 60`s. The writer, who was deaf, published his small Chronicles as a collaborator in three journals: Jornal das Moças, Shopping News do Rio e Jornal O Globo. In 1961, the texts were compiled in the book "Até onde o surdo vai ". The narratives are evidence of a hegemonic discourse on deafness that was, at the same time, clinic and oralist, typical of the period and prior to the beginning of the linguistic and anthropological studies of sign languages and deafness. The present work analyses the concepts of deafness, oralism and sign language, while at the same time presents Jorge Sergio L. Guimarães as an important chronicler of the deafness.
