Mergulho netnográfico nas narrativas existenciais surdas: conversações com as imagens fenômenos

Abstract

This article consists of clippings of investigative trips carried out in the field of Culture, Identity and Language studies. The method used to construct the data was Netnography, in which I found routes to navigate the vast and deeply complex seas of the social networks of a group of deaf people, in order to seek understanding the processes of sociality and the constitution of the subjectivities of the participants and their cultures. It started with the understanding of the potentialities of images in building conversations, reflections and interpretations of the realities of deaf experiences. The images were understood here not as a mere pictorial support for appreciation, but as polysemic phenomena participating in the processes of construction of social meanings and identities .
