Acesso em:.1982-5374https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/13163Faced with the context of inclusion in universities, deaf people bring with them a different language from which it is widely shared in the academy by a group that is mainly listening. Thinking about this linguistic issue also implies ways of looking at the other. Thus, this work has as main objective to reflect on the sign language as a cultural artifact that marks the difference of deaf people as socioanthropological subjects. For this work, the methodological basis is anchored in an exploratory research, based on the literature review. The main theoretical subsidies are Silva (2000), Bhabha (1991), Woodward (2000), Skliar (2003; 2013), Lacerda (2000; 2014), among others. The results show that it is essential to conceive the deaf from their linguistic difference, their identities are constructed and marked through difference. Libras, the deaf and their visual experiences, determine the set of differences in relation to any other group of subjects.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/SurdoUniversidadeDiferença linguísticaAlteridadeDeafUniversityLinguistic differenceAlterityArtigo de Periódico10.18542/rmi.v13i21.9547
